A perfect showcase for the power of indie developers; a deck building, roguelike, action RPG.

Phenomenal combination of genres; unlocking new cards is a blast

Some technical issues; trap sequences

Hand of Fate is a devastatingly addictive adventure game that mixes card collecting with fast-paced third-person action and board games. All though full of disparate ideas, the game is never confusing.

Only played once and love it
