Each point is assigned a weight that represents how often it is mentioned across all reviews. What players like: - Nostalgic charm and enjoyable experience (weight 0.88): The game successfully captures the nostalgic charm of the original FATE series, providing a delightful experience for returning fans. Reviewers appreciate the faithful recreation and find the game enjoyable, fun, and reminiscent of their initial experiences with the series. - Improved graphics and audio (weight 0.3): The game features significantly improved graphics and audio compared to the original. Reviewers noted better textures, updated visuals, and enhanced clarity, contributing to a more visually appealing and immersive experience. - Complete collection in one package (weight 0.28): The collection includes all four FATE games and expansions in one package, offering a comprehensive and convenient experience. Reviewers consider this a significant advantage, especially given the low price point. - Classic dungeon crawler gameplay (weight 0.27): The game is praised as a classic ARPG dungeon crawler, reminiscent of Diablo and Torchlight. Reviewers enjoy the straightforward gameplay and note its influence on later games, particularly Torchlight, due to the involvement of the original developers. - Fishing minigame and pet transformations (weight 0.26): The game includes a fishing minigame that can reward players with powerful items early on. Additionally, players can transform their pets into monsters, including a "super OP" fish pet. Enemies are shown on the mini map and are fun to fight. - Quality-of-life improvements added (weight 0.17): The remaster incorporates quality-of-life improvements that enhance the gameplay without altering the core experience. Examples include a sort button in the inventory and the addition of items from sequels to all games. - Shared content across all games (weight 0.09): The remake allows items, spells and other content to be shared across all four games. It also allows playing the original game with content added in later games. Common complaints: - Pet inventory limitations (weight 0.12): Players are unable to sell items directly from their pet's inventory at vendors. Additionally, players cannot teach spells to their pets. These limitations add unnecessary steps to item management and pet customization. - Pointless stamina mechanic (weight 0.09): The stamina mechanic is considered pointless and forces players to rely on stamina potions to avoid moving slowly. Reviewers find this mechanic unnecessary and detracting from the overall experience. Removing or rebalancing the stamina system could improve gameplay. Gameplay feedback: - Character customization and itemization (weight 0.21): The game features a simple leveling system with talent points, allows weapon use regardless of class if stats match, and includes a second build option. The reviewer notes the presence of more item slots, which could impact game balance. - Manual loot collection, unidentified items (weight 0.09): Loot must be manually collected by the player. Unidentified items can be equipped, but stat boosts are missing until identified, and use is blocked if stat requirements aren't met. - Incomplete map and exploration (weight 0.05): The map gradually uncovers as the player explores, but it's difficult to determine path continuations without full exploration. A mini-map with three zoom levels is available, but there is no full-screen map. - Revival mechanics with enemy respawn (weight 0.05): The game offers three revival methods after death, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, all defeated enemies respawn upon revival. Performance notes: - Good performance on modern systems (weight 0.33): The game generally runs well on modern systems, including the Steam Deck, with good performance and updated graphics. Some players specifically noted the spot-on high-resolution support. - Enemy behavior bugs (weight 0.09): Players have reported issues with enemy behavior on the mini-map and with enemies respawning incorrectly. These bugs can create confusion and disrupt the gameplay experience. - Steam Deck control support (weight 0.07): The game has built-in control scheme and support for Steam Deck. This makes the game more accessible and enjoyable for Steam Deck users. - Quest givers offer old quests (weight 0.05): Quest givers are reportedly offering new quests for floors that have already been fully explored. This bug can lead to player frustration and a sense of wasted effort. - Town Portal bug in pet inventory (weight 0.05): The Book of Town Portal is not functioning correctly when placed in the pet's inventory. This bug prevents players from using a key item, hindering exploration and progression. - Occasional small stutters (weight 0.05): Some players have experienced small stutters, potentially due to garbage collection. These stutters can be disruptive, but don't appear to be game-breaking. - Flawless fish on floor one (weight 0.04): Flawless level fish are being found on the first floor of the dungeon. This may be unintended behavior that affects game balance. Recommendations: - Refund if you dislike it (weight 0.05): The reviewer refunded the product. If you don't like the game, refund it. - Need customizable UI options (weight 0.05): The reviewer would change the review to positive if UI options, such as a customizable UI or a legacy option, were added. - Poor Spanish voice acting (weight 0.05): The reviewer recommends playing in English to avoid the poor Spanish voice acting. - Play "Cursed King" instead (weight 0.05): The reviewer recommends playing "Cursed King" instead of this game. - Irrelevant points (weight 0): These points are too vague to be useful. They do not provide any specific feedback about the game. Other player notes: - Varied experience with franchise (weight 0.14): Reviewers had varying levels of experience with the Fate franchise, ranging from extensive playtime with the original to no prior experience. This suggests the game appeals to both veterans and newcomers. - Questionable Chinese voice acting (weight 0.06): The reviewer questions the authenticity of the Chinese voice acting, wondering if it's AI-generated. This raises concerns about the quality and effort put into the localization. - Hopes for Steam Workshop support (weight 0.05): The reviewer hopes for future mod support through Steam Workshop. This would allow the community to create and share content, potentially extending the game's lifespan and adding variety. - Body type character creation icons (weight 0.05): The game replaced male/female icons in character creation with body type A and B. This is a specific detail about character customization. - WildTangent's DRM history (weight 0.04): The reviewer mentions WildTangent's history with trial games and pseudo-DRM installers. This is a reference to the publisher's past practices and may be relevant to players familiar with their older games. Emotions: No emotions}
