If you're interested in playing something vaguely Fable-related that also happens to be a competent CCG, you'll be happy to know that Flaming Fowl Studios' CCG/RPG Fable Fortune has left Early Access and is now available on Steam and Xbox One as a free-to-play title. Here's a brief official description:
A collectible card game that combines the iconic world and characters of the Fable series with fast-paced tactical gameplay. Choose between Good and Evil to alter your special abilities and even the cards in your deck. Compete in leagues and events, or take on a boss with a friend in co-operative mode.
Fable Fortune is a game of Choice and Consequence. Play as one of six unique Heroes in a card game with fast-paced and thrilling tactical gameplay.
At the start of a match, you must choose your quest. Completing quests earns unique rewards which can help turn the tide of battle.
On completing a Quest, you must choose, Good or Evil?
Turning to Good or Evil changes the abilities your hero can use, but also the powers and properties of your cards.
This means you can react to your opponent, changing your strategy and the cards in your hand based on the choices you make.
The game's official launch is accompanied by a sizable update and a series of limited time events. You can find all the specifics right here. An excerpt:
Hello, Heroes!
Today is a big day, as Fable Fortune globally launches as a free-to-play game! It’s been quite journey over the last 7 months, we’ve come a long way, and working closely with you, the community, we feel like the game has improved immeasurably.
This is quite the update as well, we’re bringing you a sparkly new deck helper for anyone struggling with ideas for decks, or just needs a push in the right direction; Achievements; co-op voice chat for Xbox players; new cards; and a whole lot of events and special rewards to celebrate the game launching. Fairfax Castle will be making an appearance as a brand new location in the new Heroic Tales adventure, and will be coming to a PVP season soon.
In terms of balance changes, we’re looking to reduce the tempo swing a lot of low cost cards can achieve, by increasing their cost and therefore reducing how much more you can do on that same turn. In particular Sand and Temple are guilty here, having access to some very cheap, very efficient removal spells. A couple of Mythics are getting some love with this update as well and we look forward to seeing what players do with their newfound power.
For new players who may be unaware, whenever we make balance changes to non-Basic cards, you may salvage those cards for 100% of their crafting cost for 2 weeks after the changes.
