About FARA
FARA is a text-based browser roguelike that opens right in a tab. The dungeons are generated as you go, a character that dies is gone for good, and there are more than 60 classes to try. It reads as an endless sandbox.
Your quest is to gather Key Fragments until the Astral Key is whole. Fragments turn up in odd places: deep in dungeons, at the bottom of lakes, even in the pockets of strangers. On the way you can wrestle honey badgers, collect cats and ride grizzly bears, which tells you how seriously it takes itself.
Big moments earn points. When a character dies, those points go into a running total that opens up new options for your next run. You can play FARA online here with nothing to install, and FARA free means no sign-up either. It's still in alpha and quite buggy. A typical session runs about an hour.
How to Play FARA
- Move with the arrow keys.
- Press Tab to cycle through targets.
- Press E to interact, A to attack and T to take things.
- Use the mouse as well. It handles almost everything.
- Gather Key Fragments to complete the Astral Key, and expect your points to carry over after a death.
What to Expect in FARA
FARA pairs a dry, text-driven look with a playful tone. You can wrestle animals and start a collection of cats, and the world follows that spirit. It's a roguelike, so expect danger, though it's happy to be silly.
Replay value comes from the structure. Procedural dungeons, many classes and a persistent score total mean each run feeds the next, so you're not starting from nothing every time. That softens the sting of permanent death.
It's in alpha, so it's rough. Expect a few glitches. Once you've learned the few commands, though, it moves along quickly, and Tab helps when several things crowd the screen. Use your first run to learn the rhythm, then pick a different class to see how the game changes.
Tips for FARA
- Press Tab to choose your target before you attack, so you hit the right thing.
- Remember that dying is permanent for a character, but your score carries over and unlocks new options.
- Check unusual places for Key Fragments. They can be at the bottom of lakes and in strangers' pockets.
- Try different classes. With more than 60 to pick from, each run can feel different.
- Expect bugs, since the game is in alpha, and send the developer feedback if you find any.
