Video Game Fables is a solid if simple RPG that suffers from the baggage of its meta nature. The lighthearted dialogue will make you smile and there are glimpses of compelling RPG design strewn about the experience. The game just never truly rises above the height of the conventions it seeks to overthrow, which given the subject matter, is a distracting misstep that weakens the overall experience.
Get on Steam"Video Game Fables" is a humorous RPG set in a forgotten game world, where the script has been ruined by "The Forsaken Princess." Join Princess Aru, NPC Nate, and Tator as they attempt to restore order, with strategic turn-based battles, unique XP system, and skill crafting. Look forward to surprising boss fights and varied playstyles based on equipped weapons.

60%Video Game Fables: A Truly Spectacular Indie RPG – PC Review
Video Game Fables is a truly exceptional indie RPG. While it would have been easy to merely copy the tropes of the genre, developer Momiji Studios has crafted something entirely new. The game's myriad of systems revolutionise the turn-based genre in ways since thought impossible and it's witty script and colourful cast of characters propel a unique and memorable narrative forward at a brisk pace. Despite its indie roots, Video Game Fables has been so expertly crafted, featuring slick UI, clever mechanics and gorgeous visuals, that you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a triple-A experience.
100%Video Game Fables Review
Video Game Fables is a twist on your classic turn-based RPG with new fighting mechanics and an original story with a great sense of humour and non-typical heroes forced to save the day. There is a lot of grinding required but the system to level up your characters and weapons is interesting.
