Tales of Fearless

Was a decent game, but they decided to allow everyone to bot with no consequences. So there is no point in playing anymore. The updated the game and added maleware into it. Stay away from this game.

The creator has bribed the community more than once for up votes on steam. Its very pvp based with kind of clunky targeting. Farming isnt viable in it since tools break. Overall un pleasant for me.

Full Disclosure: I use the same engine as the developer behind this game and I am also making an MMO. I hate being this critical of a project from an indie dev, especially one within the same community as me, but this is a bad game. Starting off: Be warned this dev has left the project for very long periods of time without communicating what they're working on or if they're working on the game. This review is after their big "relaunch". There is a ton of obviously AI generated art used. It sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not even remotely passable AI art, it's stuff that looks like it was generated 2-3 years ago. Then there's the mixing of assets, everywhere you look the game looks like it was cobbled together from 4-5 different games. A good chunk of assets are the stock engine assets and a lot of the custom assets just don't look good or have bugs. Like the character sprite for Malnuk? having this weird "hop" animation when it cycles into it's idle animation. Next up, the UI. It's also not good. It's a mix of the base engine UI, poorly made UI assets, and AI generated UI assets. Now onto actually playing the game: it's also not great. You're thrown into a very odd character creator to start with, lots of long text boxes are thrown at you but they explain very little, the story repeats itself a lot and doesn't make a ton of sense. It's possible it makes more sense later, but I'm not sticking around to find out. Once you get into the actual game world, you're greeted by a bunch of NPCs standing around that tell you to go complete other quests first. You'll eventually find the one guy with a quest (with his quest marker hidden by a giant block of text) and he shouts at you to go fight some goblins that are attacking. No real context or reason, just screaming at you about the goblins. Oh and there's floating text literally everywhere, covering half the game world and overlapping with stuff like the quest markers and NPCs. If you make the mistake of heading North, you're going to be assaulted by a wall of sound coming from a group of about 20 NPCs on a constant loop fighting each other. I gave up right around here. There's just an overall lack of effort and polish in pretty much every aspect of the game, and I barely made it out of the tutorial area. This game also has microtransactions that cost upwards of $65 USD, $70 after taxes. It's not in early access, this is meant to be a fully released game. If you're gonna charge those kind of prices for microtransactions, you can't dodge criticism by being a F2P or indie game. I would not recommend it in it's current state, at all.
