Fate’s Theater

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A cool game for indie fans
