What is Hand of Fate?

This single-player fantasy roguelike combines deckbuilding with action-RPG combat. You build a deck that determines the dungeon floors in each run, move through card encounters, unlock new cards and gear, and fight enemies in 3D combat as you seek to defeat the Jack, Queen, and King of each suit.

For you if...

+you like unlocking cards to change later dungeon runs
+you enjoy fantasy adventures with a tabletop structure

Not for you if...

−you want cards to handle fights instead of action combat
−you prefer a fixed adventure to repeated runs

What players say
