Hand of Fate brings card gaming to video game life. A sublime blend of tabletop card gaming and video game magic, inspired by tarot and fantasy.

Hand of Fate is a card based roguelike, in which the player builds a collection of cards into a deck, which is then used to deal out the dungeon floors through which they adventure. Upon entering a combat, all of the cards the player has collected fly into their character's hands as fully modeled 3D assets, and combat begins.

Hand of Fate uses a deck building mechanic that allows players to choose both the types of loot they will gain and even the type of adventure they will embark upon.
Most roguelike games use randomness to increase game difficulty, Hand of Fate uses Deck Building mechanics so the player can completely customise and control their game experience, which is then randomly distributed as the dungeon level they delve into.

Got a favourite combo of weapon and ability? Stack the deck with those to increase your odds.

Need to defeat the Jack of Skulls? Swap in holy weapons and abilities to do extra damage to undead.

🌍️ Wikipedia:

Hand of Fate is an action role-playing video game developed by Defiant Development. The game was released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 17, 2015. A PlayStation Vita version was announced but ultimately cancelled due to development issues.

Gameplay

Hand of Fate is an action role-playing video game with roguelike and deck-building elements. The player takes the role of a nameless hero that meets a strange Dealer in a "cabin at the end of the world". This dealer narrates the player's adventure, dealing the game's cards, rewards, penalties, lore, and commentary. He also serves as the primary antagonist for the game.

On starting a new game, the player is given a starting deck of cards, consisting of equipment, hero class, and encounter cards. The player earns more cards as they progress in the game, which they can use to customize their deck up to a fixed size. Further, the dealer has his own deck from which elements such as more challenging encounters and monsters are drawn that also grows as the player gains cards and progresses through the game.

In the game's Story Mode, the player must defeat thirteen bosses: twelve court cards and the Dealer himself. These bosses, representing the royalty of each suit, must be defeated in order, but the player can return to previous bosses to challenge again and unlock new rewards. After a certain number of these bosses are defeated, the player also unlocks Endless Mode, which provides an infinite number of "floors" of increasing difficulty for the player to challenge with every card they have collected up to that point.

To progress in Story Mode, the player must complete a "dungeon" by exploring two or more "floors" created by a tableau of randomized, face-down encounter cards dealt from the combined deck of both player and Dealer. In addition to random encounters, each floor also includes either an exit encounter that lets the player to reach the next floor, or a boss encounter on the final floor of that dungeon. The player starts with a limited amount of health, food, and initial equipment, modified by the player's selected class card and certain conditions obtained over the course of the story. To navigate each floor of the dungeon, the player moves a token across the tableau one card at a time, revealing it if face down. When each card is encountered, the Dealer narrates the event and resolves its effects.

Events can include meeting non-player characters, shops to buy and sell cards that benefit the player for the remainder of that dungeon, enemy encounters, or chance events that may benefit or hinder the player. Some of these events include a tree of options that the player can choose, while chance is presented as four shuffled cards representing rates of success or failure. Each movement step consumes food, and certain events can cause the player to gain or lose health, food, gold, blessings, curses, or equipment. The latter three can augment the player's attack power, defensive power, health, speed, or provide special abilities or conditions both inside and out of combat.

If the player encounters a monster or maze of traps, the number and type of enemy are determined by cards drawn by the Dealer (if any). The game then enters a third-person perspective action mode, where the player can attack, dodge, reflect and counterattack enemies and traps represented by the cards that were drawn. Damage taken is reflected in the player's overall health, which can be recovered normally with food or at certain shops and healers. On completing some encounters, the Dealer will present special tokens representing new cards that the player will receive at the conclusion of that dungeon, regardless of whether they won or were defeated.

If the player's character loses all of their health (i.e., by encounter or starvation) or chooses to forfeit from the in-game menu, they lose that dungeon and the board is reset after they receive their tokens. If the player successfully beats the dungeon's boss, they progress one step forward in the story. The Dealer awaits the player for the final showdown and confrontation, so the player must pay close attention to deck-building, strategy, tactics, and chance in order to succeed.

📕 Description [fr]

Un RPG avec une mécanique de jeu de cartes sur table, par le studio Defiant Development.
Il utilise le moteur Unity.

Hand of Fate est un RPG d'action avec une mécanique de construction de deck et une atmosphère de jeu de rôle sur table, dans lequel le joueur se retrouve assis devant une table, faisant face à un maître de jeu (MDJ) lui distribuant les cartes - pour un jeu à l'intérieur du jeu. Après une première phase de construction de Deck (définissant les équipements, compétences, rencontres et événements), le MDJ ajoute ses propres cartes et démarre la partie - matérialisée par une série de cartes, le pion du joueur posé sur l'une d'entre elles qui à ce moment se dévoile, mettant peu à peu en place la situation (arène avec des ennemis) complétée par d'autres cartes (équipements) qui ont été tirées. S'en suit la prise de contrôle du nouvel avatar pour un affrontement en arène.


Hand of Fate donne une vie de jeu vidéo au jeu de cartes. C'est un sublime mélange de jeu de cartes sur table et de jeux vidéo de magie, inspiré par le tarot et le fantastique, apportant une série de quêtes rejouables à l'infini.

Hand of Fate est un roguelike basé sur un jeu de cartes, dans lequel le joueur construit une collection de cartes dans un deck, qu'il utilise ensuite pour négocier les différents niveaux des sous-terrains à travers lesquels il mène ses aventures. En entrant dans un combat, toutes les cartes que le joueur a recueillies volent dans les mains de son personnage en un effet 3D modélisé, et le combat commence.

Hand of Fate utilise une mécanique de construction de deck permettant aux joueurs de choisir les deux types de butin qu'ils acquerront et même le type d'aventure qu'ils vont entreprendre.

La plupart des roguelike font appel à un mécanisme aléatoire pour augmenter la difficulté du jeu, Hand of Fate utilise une mécanique de construction de deck permettant au joueur de personnaliser et contrôler entièrement leur expérience de jeu, qui ensuite est distribué aléatoirement à mesure qu'ils s'enfoncent dans les niveau du sous-terrain.
