See Fable: Heroes in action

Next up as part of Microsoft's Arcade Next promotion - that's seen
good and bad hit the digital service in the last fortnight - is Lionhead's Fable: Heroes.

A multiplayer hack'n slash that looks to take cues from the likes of Castle Crashers, it's a far cry from the sprawling RPG that we're used to in the retail versions, but at least retains the franchise's signature colourful fantasy style.

The game's out this Wednesday, and we'll have our review ready the same day. For now, check out the footage in this gameplay trailer.
