Hand of Fate 2

In a world of more indie roguelike deckbuilders than you can throw a stick at, it's super refreshing when they are presented with this level of quality - especially when it takes everything from the first game and does it even better Feels like your own personal D&D game with arkham style combat for the encounters

It's entertaining, but it severely lacks polishing. Especially the combat is gruesome due to what I would consider outright bugs. For example, you are behind an enemy, backstabbing them. They want to retaliate. Do they turn around so you have some sort of clear visual cue to which you can respond? No, they teleport. All of them, no exceptions. Without delay, without an animation, you suddenly have to already be dodging a hit. This is fine, it's annoying but playable. The problems really start when you encounter Ogres. These guys also have busted hitboxes, huge damage and really short attack animations, meaning that you WILL get hit because there is simply no time to respond. You can build around this, but sometimes you get hit by a curse of lose your equipment and then it's simply over. 9 out of 10 times you not winning your run isn't a skill issue, which is fine in an RNG roguelike to some extent, but in this game it gets really annoying really fast. 6/10, super interesting concept but lacks the finishing touches

Competent, with mostly serviceable combat, stellar presentation and audio, and a very unique gameplay loop unlike anything else on the market.

I want to like this game more then I do, I like the concept of a deck builder but mixing with a 3rd person combat system seems to just not work here. The 3rd person combat is just not as flushed out as the deck builder rogue like mechanics, yet it is supposed to be the center focus of the game. Namely the 3rd person fighting mechanics are not even up to the level of ryse son of rome.

I've played this game A LOT on PS4, but I decided I needed it again on PC, but I never had the DLCs. Sad to hear that the devs are basically in maintenance mode, because this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RIPS, and I'd love for a new one. It's been almost 10 years! That's crazy. Love this game, PLEASE BUY IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT. BATMAN ARKHAM GAMEPLAY WITH A CRAZY CARD GAME.

Picking back up This game again after four years, and I just found out that the card draw game that other review about is actually not totally random, you can track which card goes to the top of the deck if you observe carefully, it is all about manipulating the odds to your favor, which fits the theme of the game. The RNG is just a surface.

The graphics in the game are made in the style of dark fantasy with colorful and detailed card elements that create an atmosphere of mystery and danger. Voice acting and music are also perfectly combined with the gameplay, adding additional depth and emotional component. Hand of Fate 2 offers an extensive character development system, a variety of quests and many opportunities for making decisions that affect the outcome of the game. This creates a sense of meaningful choices and a unique experience for each player. The game also has many additions and updates, which adds to its duration and increases its replayability. Overall, Hand of Fate 2 is an exciting and addictive game that perfectly combines elements of a card game, action and role-playing adventures, and offers players a unique and exciting gaming experience.
