About the game

Fable Fortune is a game of Choice and Consequence. Play as one of six unique Heroes in a card game with fast-paced and thrilling tactical gameplay.

At the start of a match, you must choose your quest. Completing quests earns unique rewards which can help turn the tide of battle.

On completing a Quest, you must choose, Good or Evil?

Turning to Good or Evil changes the abilities your hero can use, but also the powers and properties of your cards.

This means you can react to your opponent, changing your strategy and the cards in your hand based on the choices you make.

Fable Fortune has been designed from the ground up around 2 player co-op.

Team up with a friend or stranger to learn the game, working together to take down challenging Raid Bosses.

In Co-op mode, you take turns to fight, but you share each others units. For the hardest challenges, you’ll need to work closely with an ally, designing decks and picking heroes which synergize with each other.

Beat bosses to earn exclusive prizes and rewards.

Different Arenas have different Quests and Rewards, changing the battlefield.

Every week, you’ll see special events with entirely different rules.

Only moustaches allowed? Max power mode? Hatch an Egg each time you use your hero power?

We aim to have an ever changing, evolving meta which rewards experimentation and puts a focus on strategy and skill.

Matches in Fable Fortune start with 3 Gold, meaning it’s straight into the action quickly.

For each deck you create, you can pick a special ‘Trophy’ card which you’ll receive if you’re playing second, to get things off to a strong start.

Fable Fortune allows you to defend any unit on the battlefield with the ‘Guard’ feature. Because any unit can protect your Hero, this open up a huge range of deck-building strategy and possibilities.

Choose to protect yourself, or your most powerful units. Some units have special abilities which will trigger when they’re placed into Guard.

We’ve focused on minimizing randomness in the game; emphasizing skill and strategy.

On top of any purchases you make, you’ll start the game with 10 Card Packs.

This includes a Guaranteed Fabled Card.

The first time you play a hero, you’ll get two packs, and can gain more than 50 just for levelling heroes. We’ll regularly be rewarding new and interesting cards for taking part in Events, Co-op or PvP.

Whether you choose to spend money or not; we want the game to be enjoyable and competitive.

We're a small, passionate development team.

We're huge card game and Fable fans, and we've had a lot of fun making this game

Through the Early Access period, we've worked closely with the community to expand, tweak and update the game.

We're now at 1.0 release and we'll be continuing to update the game with new content, events and features based on your feedback

Thanks for your support!

We hope to see you on the battlefield!

[h1]HEARTHSTONE 2.0[/h1] As a veteran of collectible card games I was really positively surprised by Fable Fortune. I find most card games available on Steam, if not all of them, to be dreadfully derivative and boring. They lack creativity for someone who has been playing Magic the Gathering (and other excellent games such as Android Netrunner) for a decade and has already seen the best the genre has to offer. I also wasn't able, despite many attempts, to enjoy Hearthstone, which I will grant is, objectively speaking, incredibly well designed and polished, but has just a couple of quirks that make it a very frustrating experience for me. And on the surface Fable Fortune isn't that much different. Heroes are also classes with class-specific cards. Each has their own 2 mana power. 30 card decks. 2 cards per deck limit. Units can attack anything on the board. No main- or attack-phases. Crafting. Salvaging. You can count all the ways in which it deviates from the Hearthstone formula on one hand, but those changes proved to be crucial and make in my opinion for a much more enjoyable and fair game. In fact those little differences seemed to be aimed at removing the most glaring issues that I, and many others, had with Hearthstone. Let's preface this by saying that as an Early Access game, it has a number of technical issues, disconnects and bugs, and missing important features, however even in this unfinished state I find it madly enjoyable and well worth my time. [h1]Now for the list of selling points and why you should give this game a chance.[/h1] I write this assuming you have some knowledge of how Hearthstone or similar games work. [b]1. Everybody starts with 3 mana.[/b] The biggest and probably the most significant change is that each player starts with 3 points of a resource used as mana (here knowns as "coins"), instead of 1. What it does is nearly completely eliminates the early-game phase and throws players right into the mid-game and puts them that much closer to the late-game. Coupled with the other points below it minimises the hit you take by bad draws, makes the game less reliant on tempo and getting perfect mana curve draws. [b]2. Start with 4/5 cards instead of 3/4.[/b] The thing I could never quite understand in Hearthstone as a game with this much combo and tempo potential (or even a tempo requirement at higher ranks) were small starting hands. By all accounts, the game is in the same ballpark mechanically as MtG, Game of Thrones, Android Netrunner, or even WoW TCG which Hearthstone was based on, but instead of 5 or 7 cards, the players are given starting hands of 3 and have to mulligan/reshuffle that. This makes bad draws feel suffocating and not hitting the tempo or opting for a different strategy wasn't really a choice a player could make. Now I understand that deck sizes were slashed by half and the game was intended to have a casual appeal, but if mechanics are basically the same, this design decision always felt like a rookie mistake to me and a painful side effect of Blizzard's love for simplicity. Now in Fable Fortune you start with one more card and coupled with your hero ability, the guard and the quest system, it opens up a variety of options right away. Even as a seasoned player I have to think twice about my opening whereas in Hearthstone most of the time the choices during the first 3-4 turns were rather obvious and choosing to deviate from that could have bad consequences. [b]3. The aggro is non-existent. Tempo is much less relevant.[/b] Despite the existence of creatures ("units") with haste ("rush"), they can never make for a MtG Red Colour or HS Hunter-style aggressive deck and are either very low HP and easy to remove or expensive so delegated to the late game. Thanks to the ability of your hero to grant a guard ability to any unit each turn for 1 mana and the starting mana of 3, the aggro strategy... well... would struggle to take hold at any stage of the match. Even when I aggressively hit my tempo and combo well from the start, my opponent can slow it down and defend efficiently if they play something decent and give it guard. [b]4. Combos are potent but kept within very resonable limits.[/b] One worry I had was that an increased starting mana pools and hand sizes would make combos easier to execute than in Hearthstone but somehow they made it actually harder while still making them a viable option to pursue. Combo generating units are usually not ones that would also destroy your opponent's defences so they still have an option to attack them next turn. The combos also require some time for the effects to take place, usually at the end of your turn by which time it's your opponent's opportunity to respond. [b]5. Cooperative events.[/b] Now this is pretty fresh. A two players vs AI mode. Every two weeks you are presented with a new AI boss, each with distinct mechanics and their own versions of player cards. Quite thematic. Pretty challenging at higher difficulties. If you beat the boss at Hard with all 6 classes you get two rare cards on top of the card pack and stack of silver you got along the way. Once I get my butt kicked by Hard Mode I go back to tweak the decks specifically for this. Very satisfying. I think this could be, with some improvements, much better than Hearthstone expansions, and is already a great way for people who don't feel like playing vs other people to spend time, earn silver and cards. [h1]ENDING THOUGHTS[/h1] There are also many minor features I haven't mentioned but definitely add to the experience and make it richer. Heroes can complete quests and turn Good or Evil which changes their powers (and the portraits!). Some cards turn Good or Evil according with your hero's alignment which changes their art and abilities as well. Illustrations have much more space on the cards instead of being forced into a small frame so the whole visual experience is nicer. In general I find the art style to be great and because it is based on an established game series with its own lore, it doesn't feel as generic as almost every other card game on Steam. But this is pretty much it. The developers still have a long way to go to make the game ready for the release day, but I feel like in those couple of days I already got my money worth and have a hard time keeping myself away from the game, despite the issues and missing features. I was looking for a beautiful and polished online card game with familiar mechanics so I can feel at home but different enough to inject some excitement into the formula and tweaks to make it less frustrating than other big games in this space and that is what Fable Fortune already has nailed down without a doubt. A suberb foundation for what can with some technical tuning easily turn into many years of enjoyable content. An adventure, even.
