The player will alsohave their own farmin Paw Village, where they can grow resources on their plot of land. Planting seeds will lead to harvestable crops that can later be crafted into helpful materials including provisions, tools and gear, or items that can be exchanged in town.

This includes access to a book of spells that can deal massive damage, shift enemies around the battlefield, and apply various status effects.
There does seem to be a bit of story toKitaria Fables, beyond the standard structure of earning more money,getting better loot, and other basic progression systems. The idea seems to be that Paw Village is under siege and its people at war, leaving it up to the player to restore peace. To do this, they have to gather the Lost Relics and the secrets behind them. How robust of a storyKitaria Fableshas to offer remains to be seen.
Comparisons to other action-RPGs, such as theRune Factoryseries orMy Time at Portia, seem apt. This genre of life sim experiences likeAnimal CrossingandStardew Valleycrossing over with dungeon crawlers is increasingly popular. Some have even added multiplayer, like the upcoming MMORPGPalia.Kitaria Fablesdoes offer 2-player local co-op, for those interested. Regardless,Kitaria Fablesis the latest title in an increasingly popular genre of games. It’ll be interesting to see how well it stands out from the pack.
