Like the prior games, Ring of Fates will support up to four players in multiplayer mode, as well as sporting the option to go it alone in single player. In the event one decides to play with some friends, everyone involved votes on a group leader, and then they get down to business.
While going through multiplayer, there will be five classes to choose from: Warriors, Archers, White Mages, Black Mages, and a support class. Warriors are the melee fighters for up close combat, while archers rain arrows from a distance, and black mages bombard enemies with arcane attacks. All the while, others take care of healing. The support class appears to fill a micromanagement role where it creates special orbs that magic users need in order to cast their spells.
Generally, the action will take place on the top screen, while players issue commands and sort through menus via the touch screen. However, it is possible to swap the screens, allowing players to attack enemies simply by poking them with their stylus pen. Going this route is also expected to open the door to special combo attacks.
Single player mode will follow the adventures of the twins as they unearth the mysteries of a red crystal, which reminds me of a lot of free pc games download puzzles. Along the way they will meet new characters like Meeth, the spell caster Alhanalem, a lad named Gnash, and the twins’ father, Ratov. Don’t worry you don’t have to memorize the names, just play and have fun!
