#FABLED LANDS OR LEGION OF SHADOWS SERIES#
Have a look at our review of Destiny Quest – The Legion of Shadows, where this is explained in more detail 😉īut back to the Fabled Lands books and the Legends of Harkuna: What makes this gamebook series different? How is the adventure structured? What are the advantages and disadvantages?. If you are just wondering what we are talking about and are reading about game books for the first time – they are basically a mixture of role-playing game and fantasy novel. So it doesn’t matter which volume you start with! Nevertheless, you can take your heroine or hero with you from one adventure to the next, with all the skills and equipment you have acquired. Unlike most gamebook series, however, the Fabled Lands Books are not chronological. Once again I have tested a gamebook series, this time actually two books in one book, because the 2nd anthology of the Fabled Lands series Legends of Harkuna combines the volumes The Sea of Terror and The Valleys of Darkness. Tales of Maj'Eyal a lot too hard for the kind of relaxing immersing game I want.In the Fabled Lands books, the main character is none other than yourself and you experience adventures in a fantastic world! The Legends of Harkuna series also offers different characters to choose from and can be played in any order! You can sail to fantasy japan, get into a duel on a bridge with a demoness, head to "The Black Pagoda", meet a demon gorilla, drink wine that almost kills you, and then make a pulse-pounding escape all in under 15 minutes in Fabled Lands and for my money it's one of the game's greatest strengths, everything keeps feeling fun and varied because you're never stuck doing any one thing for too long.Įlder Scrolls/Fallout series I like em a lot and as such have already played emĭragon Age/ Mass effect too linear and combat takes too longīaldur's Gate 1 & 2 see Elder scrolls above Nothing takes too long this is a big strength of fabled lands over something like, say, Dragon Age. Fabled lands doesn't have much for characters but if the game had really strong NPCs to interact with it'd be a plus.Ĭharacter growth and advancement half the fun of exploring all those novel locations and interesting societies is when you nick all their good loot and kill all their most badass monsters. Open world, non-linear RPG that either has no main quest or one you can do at any time with no pressure.įocus on world and exploration I'm basically looking to get lost in the world so it should be an interesting place. And i'm looking for something else in the same vein, textbased or not.
#FABLED LANDS OR LEGION OF SHADOWS FREE#
And now it has a Java App Version to free you from the tyranny of paper cuts. For those unhip squares not in the know about CYOA books from the 90's Fabled Lands was a series of detailed gamebooks that were like DnD meets choose your own adventure, you adventured about doing heroic deeds and exploring dangerous locales armed with only your character sheet, a fistful of dice, and (probably) brazen cheating.
