Fabled Lands adaptation on Steam

[nathanh]

A Fabled Lands digital adaptation has just been released on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1299620/Fabled_Lands/. It covers four of the six books (the ones on the north continent). It's a pretty faithful adaptation except with a very light tactical combat layer added on, and I think a few loopholes or feelbad moments have been removed. I played in Early Access when only books 1 and 4 were available and I had fun. I'll be going back to it soon.

I think you can safely ignore some of the recent "Mixed" reviews---the negative ones seem to be mostly from people who don't realise it's a gamebook adaptation.

I have played it and I have enjoyed it - the map and encounters are faithful to the books, but provide bonuses that the books don't like automatic tracking and difficulty levels.

The combat system uses a mini map and your characters have special combat abilities and ranged weapons, meaning that you can use strategy to win and you are not at the mercy of dice rolls. I enjoyed the combat - it required thought but did not drag on.

I have played as a wayfarer (one of the easier professions besides warrior IMHO) on book 1 so far and enjoyed it. I have cleared out the rats and met the king. I look forward to more!
