Fearless Fantasy is a 2014 parody role-playing video game developed by Enter Skies and published by tinyBuild for Microsoft Windows, iOS, and Android. The game follows Leon, a bounty hunter, that gets a task to rescue a person from the king's guard.

Gameplay

The game puts the players in a charge of leading a party of three: a knight, a hammer wielder, and a healer.[4] The trio work their way through a series of battles, interrupted by animated cutscenes and places to purchase certain equipment.[5] There are no exploration elements throughout the story.[6] While Fearless Fantasy is a turn-based role-playing video game, its combat is based on the gestures.[7] In each turn, the players are able to choose a type of attack and have to properly create a successful combination of prompts to launch it.[8] All party members and enemies have an "Active Time Battle" meter alongside their hit points and energy bars which will determine the order of their turns.[9] Imagined as a parody, it often inserts jokes during the gameplay (swords are doubled up as laser rifles, matryoshka monsters, a troll move that attracts attention of the enemies by dancing, and others).[10]

Reception

Upon its release, Fearless Fantasy was met with "generally favourable" reviews from critics for the iOS version, with an aggregate score of 84%.[11]
