Hand of Fate

  • Cards
  • Action
  • Roguelike

An action RPG with cards: facing a mysterious dealer, you move card by card through dungeons built from your own deck, keeping an eye on food, gold and health. When an enemy turns up, the board gives way to third-person combat.

Why play it now

When you want a campaign in stages lasting 15 to 20 hours: twelve court-card bosses and, finally, the dealer himself.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys building their own deck and then settling encounters with dodges and counter-attacks.

When not to pick it

If difficulty spikes frustrate you: reviews find the final bosses brutally hard.
