FATE is a hack and slash ARPG like Diablo or, more accurately, Torchlight since it was designed by the same person, hence the fishing and pets.
It's effortless to pick up and play and there's no story to speak of. At the start of the campaign a random boss is generated and you have to explore your way down the dungeon to seek and destroy it.
Along the way you can grab randomly generated secondary missions that make the best method of gaining experience, fame and good items.
I like the degree of freedom afforded to the player to customize your character, although there aren't many options for appearance or starting skills, this also means there are no classes or limitations to make any character you want.
As an example, my first character ended up being a medium armor wearing archer that can summons giant beetles. The only thing it's missing is a way to respec points, but you can always make a descendant for your character in the next playthrough.
Overall, I made a positive balance out of FATE. I feel like it's missing some character of its own, but it's really fun nonetheless.
