Hand of Fate is a rouge-like RPG with a collectable card element. Choose a deck of cards and then battle against a dealer, jumping into short real time action battles between draws.
Featuring an interesting mixture of deck building and combat, Hand of Fate is an atmospheric game offering endless new experiences. Each game begins with a card selection with players choosing from equipment and encounter cards. The dealer then randomly selects a card, offering the player a choice or random pick. This can lead to bonuses, combat sections or random chances. Players must win against enemies in short and sweet combat sections, duelling it out in a fairly standard third-person hack and slash style. Games are won when the players reaches the end of a level and defeats a boss, earning new cards for future games. Hand of Fate has tight and responsive combat alongside a heavy reliance on RNG and rouge-like elements which can lead to a tiring experience especially in the later game. The dark and brooding atmosphere, coupled with the dialogue serving as story, has a tabletop RPG feeling which will certainly appeal to fans of the genre.
Hand of Fate is an ambitious take on both a card game and a RPG. The mixture combines well despite a certain level of repetition.
