Now and again you find true jewel. The indie scene containing it's many shareware and
freeware titles is a fantastic source of these gaming gems.
A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a game called "Fate". At it's core it is a smaller
more colorful fantasy version of Diablo. Random generated levels, monsters which gives
a huge replay value. You can basically run around in these dungeons killing monsters
forever. It looks and sounds fantastic. The controls are simple without taking away choice of
tactics from the player.
Since I discovered this game both me and others have played it constantly. The thing is that
despite the fact that it's quite repetitive after the ten or twenty levels, it still manages to serve
you new cool weapons, spells, monsters and a nice increase of difficulty levels.
So for some reason you come back again and again. Like any good game should aspire to
offer.
As long as you do not install it on a windows vista system and keep away from the many mods
the stability of the software is very good.
So at a price of 1/4 of a full commercial game, you get a almost never ending fun and mayhem
until the end of time. THAT is the true wonder of indie shareware games in my book!
