"Farabel is a turn-based strategy game where you start at the end of the story; but that’s not all. In Farabel, the whole gaming experience is turned upside-down. You start your adventure with a hero at maximum power. With each jump into the past, your character is left slightly weakened, as the game become more and more complex. Develop your cleverness, your strategic prowess, and your inventive capabilities in order to survive!
To win at Farabel, being powerful means nothing. You have to be clever! And you have to get more and more clever as you go."
Farabel is an experience where sacrifices must be made, but is the sacrifice of your time worth it in the end?
My time with Farabel was fun not only because of the twist on gameplay but also the lightheartedness of it all. Farabel tried a twist of gameplay and in this case, it worked out, something that isn't always the case. Fans of turned-based strategy RPGs should certainly check this game out.
Strategy games are woefully under-represented on the Switch but perhaps the bigger issue is the lack of high-quality entries for the genre...
Overall though, releasing this close to the end of the year, Farabel is definitely a stealth turned based strategy hit. While not overly long, the elements in place make for quite a difference from your normal bouts of armies and heroes going up against one another.
