It’s tortoise vs hare in Running Fable on Xbox and Switch
We all know that the hare can run faster than the tortoise. But in the famous fable it is indeed the latter that won out in the end. You see, sometimes it’s wits that will see you over the finish line first. Will you rewrite history in Running Fable on Xbox and Nintendo Switch, the latest arcade racer to hit the market?
Racing and Strategy!
Releasing right now on Xbox and Switch, following a PC launch in November 2022, Running Fable features a unique blend of racing and strategy that ensures it’s not just the fastest of players that can take the chequered flag.
In this colourful cartoony forest, you will play as a customisable hare or tortoise, and take to the field in a number of maps.
Where the strategy comes in is that you get the opportunity to place down a number of traps along the route before the action takes place. From a top-down view, you and your opponents will be able to set down traps, which will only be shown to others once the race starts. Bear-traps, storm clouds and cages will all be on offer, allowing you to use your brain instead of brawn to triumph in your race.
And with up to ten players in an online multiplayer match (with full cross-play between platforms), the chaos will very quickly ensue!
Key Features
- Real time item placement – strategically set items and traps all over the map. The other players won’t be able to see your placements until the race starts! You can choose to place a trap in the land, water, air, or even beneath a bush, drastically changing the racetrack.
- Race to the trophy – Run, jump, Dodge, fly, and hare your way up to the trophy!
- Trophy Points + Trap Points = Round Score – Build up your total score by reaching the goal as fast as possible, or by placing your traps cunningly. A mix of both is the key to celebrating victoriously!
- Customizable characters – Up to 40 different customization options. Each player can dress up their characters with a great variety of hats, outfits, and taunt animations, even between each round within the online lobby!
The Flag Drops!
Surely one for fans of arcade racers like Hot Wheels Unleashed, Running Fable on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch and PC is now available.
You can head to the track on Xbox by picking up a copy on the Xbox Store. It’ll cost you £6.69. And standby for our full review.
