Stories: The Path of Destinies

Stories: The Path of Destinies stars Reynardo, a swashbuckling fox who becomes involved with a group of rebels that are under attack from the mad emperor. It's up to Reynardo to make the choices that will save as many people as possible and come up with a plan that will get them all out of this sticky situation.


The game is divided into different levels that are represented by chapters in a storybook. At the end of each level, players will be asked to make a decision that will effect the outcome of the story, giving the game the feel of a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

The game has frequent checkpoints and decently short levels after which progress can be saved.

Much of the gameplay is concerned with fighting the same types of enemies, so once players get this down they shouldn't have any trouble.

• What do you think of the branching storyline? Did you replay the game enough times to get the "good" ending? If so, was it worth the effort?
• Did you mind playing through the same levels more than once? Why or why not?
• In a game like this, does good storytelling trump limited gameplay mechanics in your opinion?
