These are put towards upgrading your sword and forging new ones with elemental properties (fire, ice and wind). Although there are no other weapons or gear available, you do pick up resources from chests hidden down alternate paths. There is a small amount of depth added to this combat kiddie pool as you unlock new abilities, however the tried and true “mash attack button” strategy never failed me during my entire playthrough.
Your dastardly proficient moves are made primarily by mashing the attack button and moving the left stick in the direction of an enemy. Unfortunately underneath all the flash is just fizzle. The combat is fast and acrobatic as Reynardo pounces from target to target swinging his sword and countering attacks, similar in feel to the recent Batman: Arkham games. These narrative paths are told through illustrated pages and dialogue spouted from your character as you rampage through levels. Although, making the wrong decisions is necessary to unlock certain “truths” that will lead you to the best and final outcome. Whether you save a friend or hunt down a mystical weapon, each has vastly different events and outcomes. Each time you play through the branching narrative you are able to take different paths through the linear story. Here lies the primary concept behind Stories: The Path Of Destinies (from now on referred to as Stories). After his swift demise at the hands of an evil emperor however, he soon realises that, apart from not being dead, he has the ability to change the decisions he made along the way. You play as Reynardo, a retired pirate fox, who inadvertently comes into possession of a book with mysterious powers.

Narration and music that feels like it has been transplanted from the Trine series sets the magical and heroic tone. With the power to choose your own destiny, the tale is yours to tell, and then retell once you realise that you made horrible, horrible, mistakes.

MonsterVine was supplied with PC copy for reviewĪction role playing games (or ARPG’s) are primarily known for their frenetic combat, deep skill trees and only a fleeting interest in a little thing called “story.” However, Spearhead Games has endeavoured to flip that paradigm on its head and create a hack ‘n slash experience embedded within a romping tale of high flying action and adventure.
