About Tails of Fate

Tails of Fate is a 2D action RPG with heavy Metroidvania and soulslike influences. Set in the fantasy realm of Fauna, it tasks players with battling through kingdoms and dungeons filled with punishing bosses and dynamic enemy AI. Chase the Bunny developed it, releasing it December 31 2026 on PC and Linux. The game blends handcrafted pixel art with challenging platforming and resource management. It’s a singleplayer experience where exploration and combat are intertwined. Think fast reflexes mixed with strategic upgrades in a world that demands patience.

Gameplay

You spend most sessions fighting through procedurally generated sections while mapping out permanent upgrades. Combat requires precise dodging and timing attacks to survive tough encounters. Each boss has multiple phases and punish mistakes harshly. The world is split into interconnected regions, but backtracking is frequent due to restrictive item gates. Controls are tight but combat can feel punishing during early attempts. Platforming sections test reflexes with moving hazards and narrow ledges. Managing limited healing items adds tension. Progression relies on grinding experience for stat boosts and weapon upgrades.

What Players Think

PlayPile community rating is 8.2/10 but completion rate is just 43%. Average playthrough takes 28 hours with 65% of players labeling it determined, 28% confused. Critics gave it 78/100 praising visuals but noting inconsistent difficulty scaling. Some reviews call it "addictively brutal" while others complain about unclear quest markers. 7% of players report frustration over repetitive enemy patterns. Achievements (25 total 1720 points) are gated behind optional challenges like defeating bosses with specific weapons.

PlayPile's Take

This is a niche title for RPG fans who thrive on challenge. Price at $29.99 feels fair for the content but the 28 hour average playtime suggests it’s not a quick buy. The difficulty spikes and confusing UI might turn off casual players. If you enjoy methodical progression and punishing boss battles, it offers value. But be prepared to invest time and tolerate occasional design quirks. Worth it if your patience matches your skill.
