  HOW TO FIX THE "APPLICATION ERROR" BUG! Method #1 1. Open the game directory and set the Compatibilty Mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 3) 2. Locate the .dat file named "default_config.dat" and open it with Notepad 3. Change the setting "FULLSCREEN" from "1" to "0" and save it 4. Launch Fate: The Cursed King and it should work fine now The only downside is that selecting the Fullscreen option crashes the game UPDATE - Do NOT select the "Fullscreen" option from the settings. It will make the game crash and retrying this method wont make it work anymore. METHOD #2 - Results in a perfect fix but requires downloading some files. 1. Head onto reshade.me and download the problem and save it to your desktop 2. Extract it onto your desktop (or directory of your choosing) 3. Open the extracted folder and double click on the Mediator.exe file 4. On the left hand side, there will be a bar with the world "Add" next to it, click on "Add" 5. You will need to navigate to your Fate.exe which is in C: > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > Common > Fate the Cursed King. Click on Fate.exe to add it to ReShade 6. Make sure the mode below the bar is set to Direct3D 8 7. Hit "Apply" at the top of the window and close everything out 8. Try playing Fate and it should work perfectly fine without and Fullscreen or windowed bugs. Enjoy (Do not credit me for this fix, I just reposted this so more people will see)

  I've always have been a big fan of the FATE series. My first ever full fledged PC game (that wasn't educationally intended) Was the original FATE. This, FATE: The Cursed King, is the last installment of the series, and I reccomend playing this one above all the other ones. This series is one of the few where it just keeps getting better by the next installment. Without changing what wasn't broken. If you've played the first, you can easily adapt to this one. While adding new elements as well, and FINALLY having no level cap, this is definately worth your time. Also, if you've played Diablo 2, you'll notice similairties with the inventories. [b]That's fucking awesome.[/b] Easily anyone can pick up and play this. You also can get Henchmen, which have three different styles you can make them think. Heal, Defensive, and Offense. Also, like yourself, you have complete control (besides moving them) of them. Spells, items, weapons, inventories...It's all grand. The amount of loot in this game is absurd, as well. Everything from the previous games are here, while also new ones and designs are added. Plus, FIVE. DIFFERENT. INFINITE. DUNGEONS. Also, I've made a guide for the game. It's really only useful if you've never played a FATE game, but It's also the only guide for the game. I've put a decent amount of effort into it- I spent my time to make a guide for this game. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=352488747 Shouldn't that say enough? Doctor's orders- Toss your money at this game.

  I still remember playing the first FATE on a potato and got furstrated because the free trial ended. Recommend this game because it has probably the most immersive customisation you can have in a game. Besides, this game is very relaxing and you can progress on your own pace without restrictions. Pros: - Featuring large customisation options including: helmets, bodyarmor, belt, gloves, boots, rings, necklaces, cloaks and more. - The game got an abundent of loots like gems and relics, which you can equip it on your equipements or weapons. - Large selections of weapons and shields that divides into many different tiers and types. - A pet system and fishing system. Feed the fish to your pets and they can transform to powerful creatures. - Mercenary system where you hired NPC with random stats and equipements to fight with you, they can levelup and you can give them better equipments as well. - Fame system, higher fame access to better service. - Immersive spells options and stats system. Different stats gives you different advantages over certain situations. - Featuring many dungeons and every dungeons has hundreds of levels to explore = long playtime. Cons: - Although you encounter differnet enemies, dungeons can be repetitive. - It's furstrating to grind for money and legendary loots at high level. - Most quests are pretty boring, involving fetching certain items or killing certain bosses. Conclusion: Highly recommended, I'd give it a 8.5/10

  I call this Diablo Junior. Affectionately. This is a great game. Random levels is a big deal to me. Fishing. Feeding fish to your pet. I feel that if this game didn't have the whole "cute" vibe it would be more a lot popular. If you get it for under five bucks it's a steal. It's not a masterpiece but it is fun. Very accessible to younger players too.

  An older game. I think.....4th in the Fate series. There's no real class system, which, imho works for this game so you could wind up with a decent summoner who's an expert with a sword/bow/hammer/etc. This game has a virtually limitless amount of levels (character *and* dungeon). What's good: -the price right now is a steal....I spent more money on coffee this week. -lotsa possibilites for how you play your character -AI 'teammates' -It is a diablo/roguelike type of game, and I've always liked those -Single player (see 'What's Bad' below) What's bad: -Gets a bit repetative after a while -Getting better gear means you have to either grind for the attribute level and/or gold and Fame level or use a cheat code -No multiplayer that I'm aware of (see 'What's Good' above) -The Fishing aspect is.....just....so....painfully monotonous. Same prob. in Torchlight. I just buy the damn fish I want from the random fish vendor.

  Fishing simulator here. Seriously, the best way to get gear and gold at the start is to fish. Also use the better fish for pet food and bam! your pet is a killing machine. The graphics may be old, but it is offline and my cable carrier is being a douch lately. For an offline game, it is worth the sale price

  HOLY SH*T THIS GAME MADE ME WANNA RETIRE!? Only 10 hours in and I don't want to return to my normal life. All I think about is Fate: The Cursed King. You need to play this. Tons of weapons, spells, enemies and YOU CAN FISH. Any game with fishing is a 10/10 for me. Now play this game or I will find you.

  Befor Torchlight, there was FATE. It is still as good as it was since the first installment all those years ago, and it still holds up. 10/10, I owe my addiction to video games to FATE.

  Ive always loved the Fate games. This is definitely one of my favorite childhood games, I remember bieng in third or fourth grade and me and my brother taking turns on just the demo of the game, and that time held some of the greatest moments of my childhood, and when I was in fifth grade I bought the full game disc with my own money and played that for hours a day, and now to this day I have every Fate game on disc except for this one Cursed King, so when I saw it was on steam, I bought it right away. [h1] Gameplay [/h1] You start off by selecting what difficulty you want the game at and the kind of character you want to be, there are a total of 5 characters, one of them new to the series, and you can customize your looks and name, and then you can choose a pet, two pets are new to the series, and you choose your name for your pet as well. Then, the majority of what you do in the game, is accept quests from different people in town, and go out to the dungeon level, complete it, come back, and get paid. You level up and improve certain skills, you identify rare items you find, you can combine gems and weapons for powerful mixes, you can gamble your money away and hope for a great item, you can fish and cross your fingers for a lucky item, you can collect different cards and redeem them in town for extra skill points, you can find wanders in dungeons that have items for sale, you can find a statue that can give you ancient gems, you can transform your pet into a complete monster just by givin em a fish, you can learn spells that can summon mobs, throw a fireball, heal you, and so much more. This game is the greatest RPG dungeon crawler I have ever played, and topped off on all of that there is steam trading cards and achievements! For only $8 this is an amazing game, and you may consider buying the others in the set as well, as there is different monsters, and different worlds to explore. [h1]Whats the differences between previous games and this one?[/h1] This game has added: -1 more character to play as -2 more pets to choose from -Keys, that unlock different sized chests and have better loot than normal chests -Allies, AI-controlled allies that will fight for you, and you can put on items on them just like you can with yourself and they have skills too, quite a big edition -More spells, not sure how many have been added, but I know the summon tesla spell is new and I remember I few others, I will update the review if I find out -1 more new fish, the tadpole I believe -Tons of more monsters -Tons of more weapons - Different achievements to earn - Different emotes, backgrounds, and trading cards to collect - And of course, I brand new world, with brand new characters in town So is it worth getting this Fate if you have the last one? Well, there isnt a WHOLE lot added to this new Fate, but there is a few gamechanges aspects like keys and allies, I recommend this game to older Fate players if they are REALLY into Fate, and truly want to expierence all the different titles have to offer. [h1] Final Judgement: 8.5/10 [/h1] Fate: The Cursed King, is a great addition to all of the titles. The core gameplay might seem repetative to some, but there is so many features players can play into, like names of items, and all of the spells, and fishing, and identifying items, and Tarot cards, and so much more. If you like RPGs, or like Dungeon Crawlers, you want to pick up this game right now, its a great edition to your steam library and for only 8 bucks you might even consider picking up some of the earlier titles :)
