Continue Play's Dale Morgan evaluates Faif, the ios and Android game that crosses gambling with swords and sorcery from Beavl.
"It’s easy to like Faif, but it’s also easy to feel frustrated at the length of some rounds or the lack of meaningful player progression. Perhaps if there had been random loot awarded after each match, things would stay more interesting for longer; and the lack of multiplayer certainly hurts its long-term appeal. As it is, it’s a pleasant diversion in need of a bit more work before it can become something truly special."
Hardcore Gamer: In its latest update, multiple new features were implemented, making the already fantastic game just a smidgen better. Here's a breakdown of Faif's latest.
Cult of Mac: Faif is a weird game. It’s kind of like Bejeweled, only you’re not trying to match anything. And it’s kind of like a role-playing game, except you’re not really on a quest (or are you?). It’s sort of like gambling, but you don’t win anything, and it’s a smidge like a free-to-play game, but you don’t have to pay real money for the in-game currency.
All of these kindas and sortas add up to a unique experience that I think I enjoy, but I’m honestly not sure.
