Lee Bradley

Microsoft has launched the third installment in its Arcade NEXT season of games. Fable Heroes, a spin-off of the Lionhead created RPG series is out today. Weighing in at 1.39 GB, Fable: Heroes is a hack and slash affair with a charmingly childish art style. It costs just 800 MS and you can download it here.

To celebrate the launch of the game, Microsoft has also released a couple of videos. As well as the launch trailer, there’s a vidoc talking you through some of the game’s features, while also providing some behind-the-scenes action at Lionhead. Next week, Minecraft steps up to the plate.

  • Game looks pretty fun, only other game I bought out of this pack so far was trials evo, and iv played that game everyday since release haha
  • I wonder if this will love up to the hype. Certainly looks like it will play like castle-crashers, which is still one of the best games our there.
  • I just like seeing 800 point games. I've stopped paying 1200 alongtime ago.
  • What Da Hell Is This O_o
  • I've got it,its pretty decent.
  • Found it dull but im guessing its more a MP game.
  • do not want
  • Don't waste your money people.
  • I will be buying all games save TRIALS, Is there a "bonus" for buying them all? If not Im good. If yes I guess I can always DL it to my son's 360. OT- Downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. Looks like it could be a fun family night style game since we all like Castle Crashers... and hey it's based on FABLE. AFTER THOUGHT- In stead of FABLE HEROES why not call it FABLE: Abion Heroes?
  • Is this Zelda: The Wind Waker? NO! Is this Castle Crashers? NO! It's a combination of both of them, Fable Heroes! Look's funny, lol.
  • Fooks lunny.
  • I would have preferred they kept the name Fable Foursome
  • +1 for referencing Gauntlet.
  • @9 I don't get why you've been thumbed down...obviously people raged because you don't want Trials *SHOCK-HORROR*... an opinion?!? How audacious! OT: Have some spare MS points, will have to check out some gameplay footage/let's plays for this to see if it's any good :)
  • Big fan of Castle Crashers so I will try it for sure.
  • Can this be played (in an enjoyable way) with only 1 person?
  • Fable is horrible. it got worse and worse with each new game. and this looks like it could be the worst of them all.
  • @16 it's ok on your own, if you enjoyed castle crashers and stuff on your own you should enjoy it. In my opinion though, playing it solo seems a little dry with little competitive edge from the AI companions/rivals. You will have more run playing with friends whether that be on the same console or over Xbox live. Trying to cooperatively beat the level whilst trying to best your friends at collecting coins and buying your character abilities is what the game was intended for. If your unsure the trial is always there to download.
  • This game fully encompasses the overlapping feeling I have with any fable game that came after the first one... Meh.
  • Thanks 18
  • This looks stupid, please stop making games more cartoony. I would much rather that Fable got more brutal.
