Fun gameplay, fast combat, but still a good amount of challenge. This is a fun one for people looking for something light. Graphics look great too, which never hurts. The controls are easy to pick up as well, although WASD movement doesn't seem to have support for diagonal movement which is a bit annoying.
I was looking for a time waster for work, and Rogue Fable III really hit the spot. In the same vein as games like POWDER, this game isn't a replacement for a more dedicated roguelike session, but aims to scratch the same itch within a shorter period of time. The overall speed of the game is its best quality, you can clear floors within 30 seconds if you're comfortable with the hotkeys and combat. I don't think the game looks or sounds particularly great, but everything is readable and there weren't many times I was confused as to what was happening on screen, so it's hard to complain that much.
Anything I would change about the game's core mechanics would defeat the purpose of a roguelike you can clear in 30 min or less. If you see this on a steam sale for $3, you'll get more than your money's worth.
