The WhatsNext verdict

For Players drawn to storybook fantasy worlds, unusual world-building, and a colorful cast of characters: Fa’Diel takes shape as you place artifacts on an empty map, creating towns and dungeons as your journey unfolds. Its interwoven stories and distinctive handmade look give the adventure a dreamlike character. Tradeoff: The open-ended structure can feel fragmented, and combat and progression are less compelling than the world and its stories.

The setup

What you are walking into

Set off on a journey to find the mystical Mana Tree seen in a dream, before discovering... the world map is empty! During your travels, you’ll acquire special artifacts; place these wherever you’d like on the map to bring towns and dungeons to life and advance the story. Meet a colorful cast of characters, square off against fearsome monsters, and explore the vast world of Fa’Diel. Not only has the music been rearranged for this remaster, you can also alternate between the new and original soundtrack. Other features have also been added, including the ability to turn off enemy encounters. The game includes ""Ring Ring Land"", a mini game never before released in the West.
