PC Gamer UK April issue: Fable Legends

PCG 277 top

Fable Legend's intriguing premise is simple: four co-op heroes face off against a player-controlled villain with an army at their beck and call. We've played both roles, and examine Lionhead's innovative take on the Fable world in this month's six-page cover feature.

But it's not all wizards this month! Oh wait, to be honest there are a lot of wizards. The PC Gamer team of newbies, under the instruction of our seasoned Dota 2 aficionado, Chris, don robes and take on the PCG alumni at RPS. Wizard drama ensues. Elsewhere, we get strategic with Sid Meier's Starships, Blitzkrieg 3 and Hearts of Iron IV, and hit the open roads of American Truck Simulator. Plus, there's a chance to win an Apple Watch inside every issue.

The issue, which is in shops now, can be ordered through My Favourite Magazines. Digitally, you'll find it on the App Store,Google Play, and Zinio, and you can subscribe to get issues delivered directly to your door.
