About the game

Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan is an app-driven cooperative fantasy campaign for 1-4 players, casting you as heroes navigating a city full of political intrigue and monstrous threats. The companion app narrates the story, tracks your choices, and runs tactical combat encounters, so no gamemaster is needed. Meaningful narrative decisions branch the sprawling story down different paths, while fast, dynamic combat lets you backflip and slash your way through danger. Sessions are flexible, playable in under an hour or stretched into a full evening.

Hobbli's Notes

An immersive, beautifully produced RPG-lite adventure that makes dungeon-crawling accessible without a game master. The app-driven storytelling is a real strength, though it does mean the experience depends on having a device on hand.

What we like

  • App-driven storytelling removes the need for a gamemaster.
  • Flexible session length fits both quick nights and long evenings.
  • Tactical hero combat offers satisfying depth.
  • Branching narrative choices boost replayability.

Keep in mind

  • Requires a companion app and a device to play.
  • Full campaign represents a large overall time investment.
  • New players may need time to learn the tutorial systems.

Who it's for

Fans of cooperative narrative RPG adventures, ages 14 and up, playable solo or with up to 4 players.
