Gameplay[ | ]
Hand of Fate is a card-based game with a uniquely integrated battle system.
You play against the dealer, traveling a medieval world. This world is created by placing the cards from your deck, and the dealer's cards, in different patterns, creating a sort of board game. The goal of the game is to get the end of each area and defeat the boss, while surviving the encounter cards.
All encounter cards either lead to RPG style choices, loot, a card picking game, gain/pain cards, traders, or batman style combat. These can all overlap and most often do. There is also always a little story for each encounter card, which adds a lot to the game. (by the way, I make it sound way more complicated then it is.) You get more encounter cards as you progress the level, receiving them all at the end.
The end goal of each level is to defeat the boss. This can be a Jack, a Queen, or a King of different suits; the suits symbolizing the monster type.
Features[ | ]
- Tabletop card game brought to vivid life.
- A unique take on roguelike gameplay.
- Visceral action-RPG combat.
