Description official description

Threads of Fate combines the gameplay of a 3D action game with an RPG character system. The game provides two different main characters and two different storylines.

The young warrior Rue embarks on a journey to revive his lost beloved guardian, Claire. Mint, who lost her right to the throne of East Heaven Kingdom, is seeking world domination and vengeance against her younger sister. Both of them live in the same world at the same time and both of them are looking for the same powerful relic to help them achieve their goals.

On their journey both characters have to explore areas filled with puzzles and enemies. To solve certain mysteries or clear certain obstacles, they have to make use of special abilities. By using collected coins, Rue has the ability to shape-shift into the forms of defeated monsters, whereas Mint can learn and use a variety of powerful magical spells.

A different spin off of classic RPGs.

The Good
You embark on a fantastic journey to a beautiful land as one of two characters. You can play as Rue, a young man trying to bring back his lost love, but he hides a mysterious secret. Or you can play as Mint, a selfish royal brat who is denied her rise in heirarchy from her sister, Maya. Both adventurers are seeking a sacred power, one that gives them the ability to do anything, and the path to claim it is near to impossible... or is it? During the quest, is you play as Mint, you use special magic and skills to fight enemies and solve puzzles ranging from easy to pretty moderately challenging. Some equipment can be found/bought to use on the quest, and enemies are fun to fight against. Rue on the other hand, uses a large blade that looks like a sharp lollipop. It's pretty cool actually, and you can kick some monster ass with it. Rue has a special ability which allows him to change into certain monsters he defeats, each with a unique attack and style of playing. Using the aid of the defeated monsters, you can accomplish tasks or solve puzzles. Plenty of free time to explore as well. During the quest, cutscenes arent high-quality anime or CG's. Instead, they just continue to use the characters as you see them, and to tell the truth, the characters really look good. There's never a stale non-moving moment, and this game is anything but boring. While playing, sometimes the adventurer's path cross, usually resulting in funny or akward situations. This is a good game. Good music too. Sounds arent re-playing constantly and monsters actually have unique sounds. Fun game, truly.

The Bad
Well, voices would have ruined it in my opinion. Two-player compatability with Rue and Mint would've been cool too. I honestly wished the game was longer, or for a sequel to be made.

The Bottom Line
A fun adventure/rpg game that wont leave you hanging. DEFINATE buy.
