Gameplay

In At Fate's End we watch the action from the side.

Action platformer

At first glance, the game does not stand out with anything special against the background of the genre scheme. We go through locations, jump on platforms, avoid traps and bypass terrain obstacles, as well as engage in conversations with NPCs and fight battles with opponents. The fights are dynamic, and on the battlefield we must be constantly moving, avoiding the attacks of adversaries and launching quick counterattacks with the sword.

Sword and word combat

Nonetheless, At Fate's End draws attention due to its unusual system, which allows us not only to eliminate enemies in hand-to-hand combat, but also to engage in "tactical" conversations with them. If we skillfully lead a given conversation, it can allow us to "defeat" the enemy without shedding his blood. However, for this to happen, we first need to acquire the appropriate knowledge (even about the secrets of our interlocutor, male or female), in order to gain a psychological advantage over him (or her).

Shaping the hero and the story

As we progress, we gather power swords of power, which develop the protagonist. Our actions and the choices we make determine how we will achieve them, as well as how our adventure will unfold (and end).
