\"FEARLESS_BOX\"<\/a>Bounty Hunter Leon receives a call to pick up a lady and take her to a specific location.\u00a0 But when they arrive, Leon finds out that the person who summoned him for the job WAS the lady in the first place!\u00a0 Turns out she\u2019s a princess and is forced to marry an evil tyrant who owns a fearsome beast.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s up to Leon, his friend, and the princess to defeat the monster and save the day.\u00a0 Fearless Fantasy is an RPG tailor-made for mobile devices, and is available to download on iOS (reviewed on iPad here).<\/p>\n

Since this is an RPG made for tablets and other mobile devices, you don\u2019t do many of the things you usually do in console RPGs like explore a vast overworld, talk to townsfolk, or tromp around dungeon mazes.\u00a0 All you do here gameplay-wise is partake in turn-based RPG battles.\u00a0 On the world map, you tap on battle icons that will start a wave of three to four battles.\u00a0 Before and after the fights, your characters will converse and that\u2019s where you get the story from.\u00a0 When you start a wave of battles, you can choose Easy, Normal, or Hard, so players of all skill levels can enjoy it.\u00a0 While you get more stars by tackling these waves on harder difficulties, you get the same amount of gold and experience points either way, so it really doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

In the battles, you and your enemies exchange blows in typical RPG fashion.\u00a0 But to perform your attacks, you\u2019ll have to swipe and tap on the screen at the right time.\u00a0 Symbols will appear on the screen prompting you to tap or swipe, and you must execute those action right when the outline reaches the symbols.\u00a0 There are status ailments that keep you from seeing these symbols, so watch out when that happens!\u00a0 When enemies attack, you\u2019ll have to do those same kinds of actions as well, and if you pull them off perfectly, you\u2019ll dodge the attacks entirely and won\u2019t suffer any damage.\u00a0 Only problem I had with this was that magic spells, even curative ones, need to have these actions performed as well on the screen. And if you mess up, which is easy to do, you won\u2019t get healed at all.\u00a0 So keep plenty of food and other items on hand since magic isn\u2019t very dependable in this game.<\/p>\n

After battles, you\u2019ll earn experience points to help you level up.\u00a0 When you do gain a level, you can assign skill points to your attributes (strength, speed, etc.), and upgrade your magic and special attacks.\u00a0 The neat thing is that your decisions on what to upgrade aren\u2019t permanent, as you can rearrange your earned points at any time in the upgrade screen.\u00a0 Make sure to visit the shop as well, so you can spend your earned coins on items and better weapons and armor.<\/p>\n

The only problems I had with this game was the actions in the battles felt a little limiting, since you just tap and swipe.\u00a0 And they\u2019re not very forgiving if you mess up, either.\u00a0 Also, the storyline wasn\u2019t very enthralling and some of the character designs were a bit off.\u00a0 If you want to play a better RPG tailor-made for tablets, I recommend Steven Universe: Attack the Light<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Even though it\u2019s based on a cartoon, the action-packed battles are way more fun and interesting.\u00a0 But if you can\u2019t get enough of these types of RPGs, Fearless Fantasy is still a decent distraction anyway.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though you slash monsters with swords, shoot them with arrows, and zap them with magic attacks, they just disappear when defeated.\u00a0 And your guys just fall over when they run out of HP.\u00a0 So violence isn\u2019t too bad.\u00a0 Even though a lot of the game has spoken voice, reading skill is still helpful for the menus and shops.\u00a0 Older kids and above would probably get the most enjoyment out of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
