About

Reynardo the Fox is a clever rogue, but he’s not as clever as he thinks. He's got himself sucked into a Rebellion against the mad Emperor, and now he’s got fateful choices to make. Should he rescue his oldest friend, the shiftless Lapino; wield a gem cursed by a dead god; or resurrect a weapon lost at the beginning of time? Worse, he’s still in love with the Emperor’s adopted daughter, who he met in sword fu school. He’s got dozens of ways to screw this up; but is can he find a way to win his war? Stories: The Path of Destinies is madcap epic fantasy where each choice you make takes you into a different story. But each story — some dark, some romantic, all action-packed — is true in its way, and will lead you to victory if you pay enough attention...

Branching storylines, cool combat, and rewarding RPG elements work in tandem to form a memorable adventure, but one that needlessly stumbles and falls over various technical issues. This certainly isn't the true ending that we were hoping for.

With solid top-down combat and exploration tying those decision points together, Stories delivers an interesting take on choice-driven storytelling.

“It was time to choose,” says a chunk of opening text from Stories: Path of Destinies says. You’ll be choosing and dying a lot in this action RPG. It
