As a mercenary, Gauly isn't liked very much. He still gets hired for jobs though, and this one should be simple, or so you would think. A simple escort mission for the church soon turns into something bigger - something that affects the whole world.

Fated Souls suffers from numerous issues. There's a lot of slow backtracking in the game, which isn't made much better by the fact you get initially teased with fantastic movement speed. This backtracking involves a lot of not knowing where you actually need to go, so what you're really doing is playing "where in the world is the right NPC to talk to". This is made even worse by the fact battles progress incredibly slowly. Learn to use and abuse magic - it's a major saviour.

It's incredibly hard for me to recommend this game unless you're ready for a lot of headaches.
