Fate Architect

Spent 3 fun hours in the demo so had no qualms about picking up this fun roguelike fruit machine. Lots of fun combos and very satisfying when it comes together. Not sure why this game hasn't had more attention as it's a solid example of the genre and at a very reasonable price.

If you like puzzle roguelikes, this game is for you. It's fun and challenging in the later levels. The game is colorful with cute art and the pieces have interesting ways to effect your puzzle board, which makes for fun and interesting combinations.

Had been looking for a slot machine type of game and found this one. You add symbols to the wheels that you spin and you can grow you strategy over levels as you add (and remove) symbols. The symbols themselves have a grade school art style that evokes a bit of nostalgia. Fast-paced game, fun, scoring similar to Balatro where the symbols can add to a base score and/or a multiplier and you have to hit the target score. A bit addictive!

"Gold Man = Victory" Fate Architect feels like it wants to Balatro but with the face of a mobile game and the gameplay loops of... a mobile game. I didn't use any strategy and mindlessly selected new faces for my gamba machine. I stumbled upon the King? who proceeded to turn everything into gold and caused my numbers to explode. I played on the easiest difficulty so perhaps the game gets harder and harder the more you play which maybe would require some tact, eventually. I wouldn't say I disliked it or liked it, more of a "I experienced it" kind of situation. [url=https://youtube.com/live/nsCIKN7hCHo?t=55m17]Gameplay[/url]

Absolutely a steal a on sale. If you like this type of game it's a no brainer to pick up. As someone who plays these kinds of games regularly it feels very easy up through level 10-11 and then the difficulty slams down on you punishingly at level 13, which I haven't managed to clear yet. My only wish would be to be able to use your rerolls on the powers. Great game dev! Keep up the good work.
