What is Fate?

This is the PowerPC version of the WildTangent game FATE. FATE is a modern take on the original roguelike concept, with customizeable characters and fully randomly generated levels, quests, monsters, and items. There is immense replayability and a dizzying array of different play styles. Controls are mostly point and click with hotkeys for certain tasks. The soundtrack is short, but not annoying, and the variety in levels is amazing as you would expect from RNG. There is always an underlying main quest which is also randomly generated, but you can continue with the same character even after beating this quest indefinitely. It is possible to "retire" a character and pass on some items to a new save. Later games in the series can also take advantage of this.

From the intro to the game:

Since oldest living memory, the Dungeon Gate has stood in the heart of the Old Wood. Its doorway leads to infinite possibility, to subterranean lands fabled in stories and myths. Many adventurers have passed over that ancient threshold - some to find fame, glory, and wealth beyond telling, and others never to return.

The town of Grove has ever been the safe haven at the Dungeon's mouth - a watering hole and resting place for weary adventurers. Here great tales are told by the Inn's fire. Journeys are planned, and legacies are made. Minstrels sing of the great feats of heroes long gone, and statues ring the square, a testament to their deeds.

After traveling many hard and dusty days, you and your faithful companion arrive at last in the fabled forest town, which waits beneath the long shadow of the Gate.

Within these walls lies the path to infinite adventure. It is here that you will test your worth, and perhaps find fortune and glory along the way. It is here that you will detrermine your Fate...

Fate now has a Steam version for modern computers, and has a semi-active modding community online.
