With the launch date of Fable 3 only just over a week away on October 26th, Microsoft has launched a new Fable 3 Android and iOS game to get you in the mood.
Fable III: Kingmaker is a new game that Europeans can play and is web-based, requiring you to register to play. Once registered, the game uses a FourSquare-like location system using flags that you can plant to earn gold. Watch the demo after the jump.
Gameplay Mechanics and Rewards
Each flag you plant earns you 50 coins, while new location tags earn you 100 coins, and real specific locations can earn you between 2,000 – 5,000 in gold. At the moment, most of the high reward locations seem to be game shops, but even here you need to be quick as once 100 users have flagged the location, it then disappears. This adds a competitive edge to the game, encouraging players to explore their surroundings actively and strategically place their flags to maximize their gold earnings.
Choosing Sides and Strategic Gameplay
Users pick a side to play either Royals or Rebels and can gain territory by planting flags in enemy territories. This faction-based gameplay adds another layer of strategy, as players must decide whether to fortify their own territories or venture into enemy lands to expand their influence. The game also offers a massive 15,000 coins payout for those players who pre-order the Xbox 360 version, providing a significant incentive for early adopters.
The game’s integration with real-world locations makes it a unique blend of augmented reality and traditional gaming. Players are encouraged to explore their cities and towns, discovering new places and potentially meeting other players along the way. This social aspect can lead to alliances and rivalries, further enriching the gameplay experience.
Moreover, the game’s design encourages physical activity and exploration, which can be a refreshing change from more sedentary gaming experiences. By turning everyday locations into potential gold mines, Fable III: Kingmaker transforms the mundane into the magical, making every trip outside an adventure.
