![]() It only requires you to hold down the ability’s icon, which is fine, but the description stays up after you let go. Spend enough time with Fates Forever and you’ll notice a number of such UI niggles pulling up a spell’s description, for instance. Going right is no problem, but spell icons block a not-insignificant portion of the southpaw side. Since the two-lane field is entirely horizontal, there’s a great deal of walking left-to-right and vice versa. If anything, you’re more likely to hit your spells too often. Dragging from the hero to your target determines the direction of the spell. Others, which require targeting, create a “bubble” around your chosen hero. They’re set as virtual buttons on the left-hand side of the screen, for use at any time. Speaking of timing, you shouldn’t struggle to pop your abilities. That’s absolutely suboptimal in a genre that’s half positioning, half timing. Holding your hand over the screen reduces visibility, and its just generally imprecise. You can also drag a finger in the appropriate direction, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Tap where you want to move, and you’ll move there. Tapping the precise target you want takes some getting used to, but you do get used to it. Eventually you’ll have to contend with the three other players trying to do similar to you and yours, but that’s blessedly simple thanks to the controls.īeing an isometric game, the touchscreen works just like a mouse. Kill minions, get gold, buy items, and destroy buildings. The way you spend those 15 minutes, however, is more-or-less identical to League of Legends and its menagerie of bandwagon jumpers. I find it still a teensy bit long for a mobile commitment, but it’s better than the alternative. With these condensed tactics come condensed matches. The consequences are a play area that’s far less open, and a reduction in player count from ten to six. Rather than the “three-lane square” from Dota 2 and League of Legends, we have only two, stretched over a relatively straight line. The crux of Fates’ differentiating factors is the map. Of course now we have not just one, but a decent handful of upcoming, mobile MOBAs, and “fine” may soon not be good enough. In Fates Forever, the answer to each of these questions is the same: it’s fine. How would it control? How do you condense hour-long sessions for portable play? Is it even possible to play properly without the precision of a keyboard and mouse? It was an inevitable development in this all-consuming industry trend, and one I’ve been waiting on with some interest. ![]() ![]() It’s a MOBA that you play on your tablet.
