    The gameplay of Fable Fortune has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its unique mechanics like morality and quest systems that add depth and strategy, while others criticize it for being too similar to Hearthstone and suffering from balance issues. The game offers a variety of classes and cooperative options, making it enjoyable for fans of card games, but some players find the mechanics unoriginal and the gameplay slow. Overall, it presents a fresh take on the genre, though it may require patience to fully grasp its systems.

    • “The gameplay is fresh; RNG feels balanced; and the win rewards are fair.”
    • “The game has great mechanics and it's easy to earn gold. You can play with friends to defeat challenging bosses, beating them gives you coins and card packs as you earn medals.”
    • “Fable Fortune adds to the classic card game mechanics a guard system that allows you to select each turn which one of your units in play will taunt; there's a morality system that allows you to upgrade your hero power once you complete a quest of your choice.”
    • “Quite frankly it's an incredibly poor attempt at a card game with massive gameplay balance issues.”
    • “A barebone tutorial, no card/event history explaining what happened, obnoxious sound effects, boring slow gameplay and the flaw of having no more than one mob on taunt at a time.”
    • “Basic mechanics don't even work (had two death cards that are supposed to summon/damage on death do nothing at all when they got killed).”
  • story
    128 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of depth and connection, primarily revolving around a simplistic hero-villain dynamic. However, it introduces a unique morality and quest system that adds layers to gameplay, allowing players to choose between good and evil paths, which can alter their hero powers and card effects. While the story mode is limited and challenging, the quest mechanics provide a fresh take on traditional card game narratives, making each match feel distinct.

    • “The game feels familiar to Hearthstone and other CCGs, but also does enough to set it apart like the morality system, completing quests during matches, and farming ingredients to craft cards.”
    • “Not only are the graphics amazing, but I have never seen a TCG where you can make your own storyline and choose between good and evil.”
    • “During the PvP or co-op quests, you are given quests which will change your morality, altering your hero power and certain cards in your deck, making each match unique with a different playstyle so the game doesn't become tedious and boring.”
    • “Poor mechanics and not much of a tie-in to a story that consists of 2-3 groups (hero/villain/and second villain).”
    • “The story mode is only playable in single-player.”
    • “I did manage to win twice, but for the first two games in story mode, it's extremely hard.”
  • graphics
    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful artwork and unique art style that resonates with the Fable series. However, some users note that the overall graphical quality feels generic compared to competitors like Hearthstone, and there are concerns about the game's heavy resource demands on less powerful machines. While the visuals and animations are generally well-received, a few players express disappointment in the lack of charm and creativity in certain card designs.

    • “The artwork is 100% beautiful.”
    • “The visuals are great and take a step beyond what most other card games do.”
    • “Not only are the graphics amazing, but I have never seen a TCG where you can make your own storyline and choose between good and evil.”
    • “Sad to say but this will be another fly-by-night game unless it has so many changes. Sad to see all that artwork go to waste due to greed.”
    • “Huge fan of the Fable series, but half the cards felt super generic, and the overall graphics are poor for the genre.”
    • “Resource hog due to heavy graphics.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many players praising its nostalgic ties to the original Fable series. Reviewers highlight the enchanting and varied compositions that enhance the gaming experience, making it a key element that fans of the franchise will appreciate. However, some users reported technical issues, such as the game freezing their laptops, which affected their ability to enjoy music outside of gameplay.

    • “Fable is my favorite game and the music alone gives me a huge nostalgia rush.”
    • “Both the menu and the matches themselves have great music, and it'd be a shame to mute it.”
    • “This froze my laptop up when playing on there, leaving me not able to listen to music out of the game while playing in-game.”
    • “The music really sets the tone of Fable right off the bat, a very mystical tune that goes between high and low settings.”
    • “Although there doesn't seem to be too many people online, for anyone who is a Fable fan, this is a must buy; it has the music, characters, sounds, and quirks.”
  • grinding
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often feeling that it does not respect their investment of time, especially in PvP where powerful cards are locked behind extensive grinding or monetary investment. While some appreciate the unique mechanics and moral choices that add variety to gameplay, many express frustration over the necessity of grinding for competitive decks, with estimates of over 30 hours needed for a decent setup. Overall, the game is compared to Hearthstone, with some players noting it offers a more balanced progression system, but still suffers from the grind-heavy nature typical of collectible card games.

    • “Just like Hearthstone, this game requires you to pay money just to have a chance in PvP (10 losses in a row). In PvP, it's obvious how some cards and heroes are way too good. I feel like grinding in the game doesn't respect the time I put in and doesn't feel like I'm progressing.”
    • “If you progress too fast in the ranking, you encounter lots of powerful legendaries and cards you could never hope to access without hours of grinding, easily 30+ hours for one good deck, and that's probably on the cheap side.”
    • “That kind of makes the PvP not mean much other than farming the exclusive cards and money for packs.”
  • humor
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its dark humor, unique characters, and charming references to the beloved Fable series, making it a delightful experience for fans. While some reviewers note it may not reach the comedic heights of other games like World of Warcraft, it still offers enough wit and charm to be an enjoyable time-waster. Overall, the humor is a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's appeal and fun factor.

    • “The game is fun, beautifully rendered and animated, and has that fantastic fable humor we love.”
    • “Not only is it a game that has the sound and feel of Fable, but it is also just a fun game full of humor.”
    • “[Remember Fable? It’s Fable…in card form, humor and goofiness is intact, new twists on card battle format are pretty good.]”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is plagued by significant stability issues, with numerous bugs causing crashes and freezes, particularly during matches and when using certain features. While some players find it enjoyable enough to pass the time, the overall experience is marred by these technical problems, leading to frustration and a call for improvements.

    • “The client is still really buggy, but the game is worth playing even if it's only because the Fable franchise is so charming and fun.”
    • “It is buggy as all hell. If you try to use the little emote talk thing during a movement or turn swap, the game crashes. On my girlfriend's PC, it randomly dies in fullscreen but not in windowed mode. Who knows what other issues people are experiencing.”
    • “Extremely buggy.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy has been criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing frustration over the reliance on microtransactions instead of offering meaningful content or advertising additional features.

    • “It's just a cash grab.”
    • “They could have been promoting actual content instead of focusing on monetization.”
    • “Why would I want to make microtransactions?”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of Fable Fortune is characterized by a unique blend of magic and wit, immersing players in the enchanting world typical of the Fable series. The game encourages experimentation with mechanics and synergy, offering a rich experience beyond just PvP, making it appealing to fans of the franchise.

    • “You really feel the special atmosphere of Fable games.”
    • “If you like a mix of magic and a witty atmosphere, experiment with mechanics and synergy in a game that offers more than just PvP as an endgame, you're going to enjoy Fable Fortune.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express frustration with the character development in the game, criticizing the reliance on predefined heroes rather than allowing players to create and develop their own avatars. This approach limits personal connection and investment in the characters, leading to dissatisfaction with the overall design and depth of character progression.

    • “They could have had it attached to WoW and allowed your character to be your avatar, giving you abilities to use instead of sticking you to some 'hero' who you may not even know or hate because Blizzard doesn't understand lasting character design.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the emotional impact of the game is somewhat lacking, describing it as feeling "empty" and leaving them unsatisfied, particularly in response to interactive elements. While not detrimental to the overall experience, this emotional void contributes to a sense of disappointment.

  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is well-optimized, as users report smooth performance even on older hardware, such as the GTX 650, and it continues to run efficiently on more recent graphics cards like the GTX 1070.

    • “I used a 5-year-old GTX 650 previously while playing this game on the highest settings, and it ran pretty well. Now, I'm playing it with my GTX 1070, which also runs smoothly.”
