Fate’s Theater

Необычная забавная игра с множеством отсылок от игр до сказок, но для всей картины необходимо знание английского

Great little game with a totally different vibe. Deffo worth a look....a give away at that price. Love the music too....perfectly matches the game and sets the atmosphere. 9/10.

a nice and relaxing game cool with a coffe and some cookies is like read a adventure book a very relaxing no stress game

(Disclosure: Developer is on my friends list and refunded the cost of the game.) Although it initially feels overly complicated, this is essentially a poker-like game where the best strategy involves bluffing your opponent into over or under bidding. As such it may work best as multiplayer, but the computer opponent is pretty well balanced and feels like it learns from your tricks. There's a lot of love put in here; I adore the way the fairy eyes follow the cursor. Fate's Theater is a great foundation for building on, so it's a shame this appears to be Totally Normal Creature's final game! At such a low price, this is easy to recommend.

Interesting concept on the dual of fate's idea. The gameplay loop has you buffing and getting debuffed mortals to complete stories together. You can create some interesting combos with some fun outcomes. My issue with the game is the "battle" mechanics are a bit simple and honestly feel like the games will just go on forever teetering and tottering between the two sides. There are random events that happen between rounds but other than making one side stronger for that turn they didn't really seem to have much effect on the rest of the game as a whole. With some tuning I think this could be really fun. I recommend this if you like create little stories and then getting stuck in a stale mate for eternity.

Cards good. Fate bad. Brain hurt. 8/10.

It is a cute idea for a game and normally I eat these types of games up. The only reason I'm not recommending is because the AI is just awful. Games will sometimes last hours and it takes awhile to figure out a good strategy for the game. The worst part is is that because of the amount of randomness you can't really have a strategy. In the last game I had I was going to win and then the ai end of round events literally just stopped me from refilling fate and voting for like 4 rounds in a row and because of that I lost. There is no strategy in that. If you are interested in deck builders play inscription or balatro, they are much better and actually fun - like seriously don't waste your 3 bucks.

I don't actually recommend it but don't want to hurt the rating. Because it does exactly what it seems to be setting out to do. It's just... Not super thrilling, at least against the AI. It's more straightforward than I'd expected. I guess it never said it was more, but I'd just kinda assumed that the premise would require more gameplay depth than this. It's not even a bad game, just... Tedious, especially against the AI. I wish there was some sort of 'snowballing' effect that might have forced one side to win without me having to either hope for a big misplay on the AI's side or just giving up myself.

probably the best option there is for a cards game currently available on steam... too bad it's pfl...

Not so much a game as it is a [i]toy[/i]. The play loop itself is almost perfectly zero-sum without the RNG 'fate' system. What that means is that it's incredibly difficult to meaningfully win or lose on a turn-by-turn basis unless the game itself is favoring one player or another. And with some of fate's actions resulting in little more than just moving points around... some of the game's own interferences don't change the 'zero-sum-ness' of it all. An easy and good way to change this game to make it more strategic and, dare I say? Fun. Is to make it so the mortals themselves aren't functionally identical. Sure, fate sometimes makes changes to a particular type of mortal, but if the mortals themselves did something besides just [i]being[/i] pieces to fight over, the game would feel a little less like a game of War occasionally being manipulated by dice rolls.
