Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fabled Lands runs incredibly smooth, and even has many built in options to optimized gameplay for humbler rigs such as my own.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is a very serviceable turn-based, hexagon-mapped 'tactics' style affair complete with initiative tracker, companions (at times), and the ability to use both weapons and inventory items as one would expect in a TTRPG style game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While not quite novel length in presentation, the lore provided and the encounters with the various NPC's - friendly, hostile, and possibly even insane - mean that Fabled Lands is a world with its own unique story to tell.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals preserve the style of the books, but enhanced for the PC screen.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The interface is functional, the art restrained, and the presentation focused on conveying information efficiently.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The starting classes feel different from each other, and gets away from the "banging two action figures together until one breaks" result which would happen if the books' original combat system had been implemented exactly.
