Kingdoms of Amalur — Steam Gift

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning — a fantasy RPG worth finishing

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is the remaster of the cult 2012 role-playing game, released on September 8, 2020. The original was built by Big Huge Games under 38 Studios, with a remarkable creative team behind the world: author R. A. Salvatore wrote tens of thousands of years of Amalur's history, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane shaped its art style, and the lead designer was Ken Rolston — the very person behind Morrowind and Oblivion. The remaster sharpened the graphics, lighting and balance, folded every original add-on into one package and brought the game back to Steam in modern form.

In short: this is a massive open-world RPG with a vivid, hand-painted look, fast and physical combat, and a progression system that never locks you into a single class. Buy a Steam gift from us and the game goes straight to your library through our bot, with no key juggling.

The combat people still come back for

Amalur's pride is its combat. Unlike many RPGs where fights boil down to “press attack and wait,” here the action feels closer to a hack-and-slash: combo strings, swapping weapons on the fly, dodges, spells and finishers. You can fight with a longsword, instantly switch to faeblades, throw a couple of fireballs and roll away. There's also the Reckoning mechanic: a fate meter fills during battle, and at the right moment you enter a mode where time slows, your damage spikes, and finishing blows hand out bonus experience.

The Fate system instead of rigid classes

Amalur has no fixed class at the start. You pour points into three branches — Might (warrior), Finesse (rogue) and Sorcery (mage) — and pick a “Destiny” that grants passive bonuses for your style. Want to change course? Any Fateweaver can reset your skills so you can rebuild from a pure mage to a hybrid. That gives the genre a rare freedom: the same story plays out completely differently depending on who you decide to become.

What's in the base version and the FATE Edition

We offer two gift variants, and the difference matters:

• Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning (base) — the full 2020 game. It already includes the original add-ons: “The Legend of Dead Kel,” “Teeth of Naros,” plus the weapon and armor packs. You don't need to buy a base separately — this is the complete game. What it does not include is the newer Fatesworn expansion.
• FATE Edition — the same, plus the Fatesworn story expansion and the official soundtrack (35 tracks). Fatesworn launched on December 14, 2021, developed by Kaiko and published by THQ Nordic: a new zone called Mithros, a continuation of the story after the main campaign's finale, a level cap raised from 40 to 50, and roughly eight hours of new content. If you want the maximum, this is your pick.

How much there is to do

Amalur isn't a one-evening game. The main story alone easily runs 20–30 hours, and with side quests, factions (House of Ballads, the Travelers, the High Court and others) and full world clearing, the count climbs into the hundreds of hours. The world spans varied regions — from the blooming forests of Dalentarth to grim lands torn by the war with the Tuatha. It's a classic time-sink you'll happily return to.

How you receive the game: a Steam gift via bot

We deliver Amalur as a Steam gift, not a key. You provide your friend invite link and your account region, place the order, and our bot adds itself to your friends and sends the gift. You don't need to accept the friend request manually, and Steam Guard isn't required. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes. Once you accept the gift, the bot automatically leaves your friends. Two conditions Steam needs before it releases the gift: your account region must match the chosen variant's region (this one covers 42 regions), and you must not already own the game.

Common questions before buying

“Is the base enough if I'm new?” — yes, the base Re-Reckoning is the full game and lasts dozens of hours, while Fatesworn becomes relevant at higher levels. “What if I want it all at once?” — go for the FATE Edition with the base, the expansion and the soundtrack. “Do I need to buy anything extra?” — no, both versions are self-contained, they're not upgrades layered on someone else's purchase.
