About This Game

Venture into a handcrafted world where ruins whisper of past cataclysms. Master the art of sword and sorcery and forge your path with relics, spells and choices that shape who you become in this first-person RPG.

A Handcrafted World


While Fatekeeper follows a focused narrative path, the world invites exploration. From ancient battlegrounds, vast underground caverns and serene forests to crumbling sanctuaries forgotten by time, each area rewards curiosity with hidden lore, forgotten relics, and unexpected encounters.

Melee & Magic

Battle a wide variety of foes, each with distinct patterns, strengths, and weaknesses. Success demands both skill and preparation. Engage in reactive melee combat, unleash spells with precision, and adapt your tactics on the fly. Your build matters—but so does how you wield it.

Progression

Fatekeeper offers rich progression mechanics that go far beyond surface-level stats. Build and refine your character with meaningful choices across combat styles, attributes, and spell schools. Whether you lean into raw strength, nimble precision, or devastating sorcery, the game supports a wide range of viable and unique builds.

Armor & Weapons

Discover, loot, and master a wide variety of weapons, armor, and artifacts. Customize your loadout to suit your playstyle, and experiment with powerful combinations to overcome increasingly challenging enemies. Every item matters—and the right gear can be the difference between victory and ruin.

I don’t think I’ve seen as many as “10 Friends want this game” for anything since Red Dead Redemption 2…

haha, I am just waiting for my next Counter Strike 2 drop, I have been selling all the skins I get and I should be able to afford this game after the next one. I now understand why there are so many bots in that game. Only thing is, if this doesn’t come out on Geforce now, buying it would be pointless

It costs R105.60 if you get it before 16 June. A half decent CS2 skin or two and you’ll be there.

Is it souls like or not? In other words, can you see damage numbers and is it not a roll around and dodge hits simulation?

Looks more like a first person, action adventure game, with dodging (not rolling) and parrying mechanics. There are boss battles, but I don’t think they are going to be on the souls-like level, if i manage to get it this week I can possibly provide a better description.

Its not. No damage numbers. Physics based combat. You can kick enemies and if you hit them with the sword the will physically react, i.e. be knocked around.

Source: I bought it.

It’s a first person RPG. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is the vibe I got and why I bought it. Its not a soulslike but it does use a similar checkpoint system. Not sure if enemies always respawn but when you die you go back to the last camp fire you rested at and unlike souls games nothing you did after that save will be kept (in a souls game you keep items you loot etc if you die, not here). There is no quick save or anytime manual save. Still figuring out the healing options as well, seems you have to make potions and thats the only way. It’s very impressive visually.
