Exit Fate

Exit Fate is a Suikoden-style RPG made in RPGMaker.

Gameplay[]

thumb|320px|right|Exit Fate - Playthrough by Atrea, Part 1 The player fights battles with a maximum of six characters in the party at once, who all share magic points rather than having individual magic points. The player's main goal is to complete a series of quests to finish the game, but there are numerous side quests, including collecting up to 76 playable characters to fill up one's army, each of which must be recruited under different conditions. The more characters one recruits, the stronger one's army. There are top-down army battles where you can use all the characters collected at once. There is also a bribe system which allows the player to pay enemies money in order to escape a battle.

Story[]

Characters[]

There are a huge number of characters in the game; the main three characters are all childhood friends who take different paths and wind up on opposing sides and are eventually reunited again. The interrelationships between the characters are complex but not ornate.

Plot[]

The plot revolves a war between several countries, which eventually leads to the foundation of a new independent state under the main character's leadership. The plot of Suikoden shares much with Romance of the Three Kingdoms in motifs, with master strategists and their strategic choices which determine the outcome of battles and duels between generals being the primary plot elements.

Controversy[]

The game has been criticized for taking tiles and music from other games. Most of the tiles in the games are taken from the Suikoden series, and most of the music in the game is taken from other RPGs (including Suikoden, the Final Fantasy series, and Chrono Trigger). The portraits, enemy sprites, and in-battle player sprites are all original, however.

Trivia[]

  • It shares some similarities with its spiritual predecessor, Last Scenario.
