Gameplay
Engine

The German studio Paraglacial took its first steps in the gaming industry by assisting in the production of SpellForce 3 and also the expansions for this strategy game. In 2021, however, it began work on its debut own project. The developers from Garmisch-Partenkirchen were inspired by Hellraid - a cancelled project of the Polish studio Techland, which in turn was reminiscent of the cult classic Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. This is how Fatekeeper was created.

Gameplay

Similar to the cancelled Polish game, Fatekeeper combines the fantasy atmosphere and spectacular action in a first-person view (FPP) with characteristic RPG elements. This is a game designed in an old way, in which we go through linear levels equipped with traditional branches encouraging exploration.

Careful observation, sometimes combined with solving puzzles, is rewarded with various items. The inventory system in Fatekeeper is somewhat reminiscent of action RPG games of the hack'n'slash type. In addition to two quickly interchangeable sets of weapons, we equip the character with armor, a helmet, a necklace, and rings, and we also pick up potions and weapon oils. This is complemented by developing the hero's skills and an extensive study of spells.

The combat system is moderately dynamic. The health bar discourages from overwhelming enemies with a hail of blows. Instead we should rather rely on dodges and blocks, especially at the last moment. This can give us a chance to knock the enemy off balance and launch a deadly counterattack, or to perform a brutal "finisher".
