Fable Legends - Short Preview Roundup

Here are a few previews from Pax East 2015 I found this month for Fable Legends.

Before I got my hands on the game, I walked around the demo area to see what I was up against. It was an unremarkable setup – monitors, controllers, and two guys with headsets frantically trying to kill monsters. Then I walked around to the other side. Two other players completed the four-person team. One was using an Xbox One controller, while his compatriot was sniping enemies with his bow using a mouse and keyboard. It looked like I was going to see how well the game's cross-platform play worked.

The only trouble with the fighting system is that healing is rather scarce, with only healing potions being to restore lost hit points. Sometimes it's better to fall in battle and wait about a half-minute for the grace period to end, before being revived by another player which recovers half of your total health. This risky method of healing ensures that you don't waste a health potion that's far more useful in the final stage of the level. We'll have to see how the game deals with this curious balance issue.

The game’s design is a familiar one, as it looks like the Albion we have gotten to know over the years. The beautiful graphics are definitely something to look at, and it’s by far the most well-developed Fable multiplayer experience yet. Remember Fable III‘s co-op? Lionhead has really put their effort into the game’s multiplayer mechanics to get it to run smoothly, and it works.
