About Destiny or Fate
A Deck-Building Roguelike
With Destiny or Fate, we tried to create a balanced combination of two popular genres: deck-building games and roguelikes. You can choose the tactics that best suit your playstyle: you can fight bosses or go on a treasure hunt; you can battle amazing creatures and either defeat them or recruit them into to your party. But be careful — if your hero dies in the middle of an adventure, you’ll have to start all over again!
A Variety of Heroes with Unique Abilities
Each time the game begins, you set out on a journey with one of the heroes you've unlocked. You unlock new heroes as you advance in the game. Each hero has their own special abilities that can be enhanced. Some heroes have powerful attack skills, while others are responsible for keeping your party’s defenses up.
In Destiny or Fate, heroes cannot be “controlled directly.” However, the player can use a hero’s unique skills each time they play a certain combination of cards. The tactics you use during card battles will thus vary dramatically depending on your hero. Heroes also have passive skills that don't need to be activated.
Each character in the game has their own backstory that is reflected in their personality and abilities.
Strategically Build Your Own Party
Excluding bosses, each and every monster you encounter during your adventure can be recruited to your party. Recruit monsters with skills that have caused you trouble so you can do the same thing to the next opponent you meet in battle. As with heroes, you can upgrade your monsters' skills by collecting treasure.
With your unique deck of cards, your hero, and the monsters you defeat over the course of the game, you can form a party that's tailored to your individual playstyle. Needless to say, achieving that perfect combination is no small feat! For that to happen, you will need a lot of hard work... and a little luck.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Destiny or Fate is a deck-building roguelike with a few solid ideas, but it struggles to stand out in a genre already filled with stronger, more polished titles. On the positive side, the character variety is decent, runs are quick to jump into, and the art style is simple but appealing. There’s a good foundation here, and you can see what the developers were aiming for. Unfortunately, most of the game’s issues overshadow its potential. The biggest complaint — shared by much of the community — is how heavily the game relies on RNG, often to the point where your decisions don’t feel meaningful. Enemy encounters, drops, and event outcomes can swing wildly, making progression feel inconsistent and sometimes outright unfair. The balance is also noticeably off, with certain heroes and card synergies being overwhelmingly strong while others feel nearly useless. Combined with repetitive encounters and limited deck-building depth, runs start to blend together without offering the long-term strategic satisfaction the genre is known for. There are flashes of fun here and there, but they’re buried under uneven mechanics and underdeveloped systems. It’s not a terrible game, but with so many…8 found this helpful

I cannot recommend this game in its current state. Though the game has some interesting mechanics, the translation on the cards and explanations leave too much ambiguity. There have been no updates for years so I doubt it will ever get fixed.
So bad
It's a little buggy and incredibly unbalanced. It was very difficult in the second level but I found a combo that was completely unbalanced and finished the game.
Seems buggy. My limited experience: First time playing I quit the game to continue later. After resuming and entering a fight, my hero somehow was now dead and resulted in an instat Game Over. Not only that, despite being my first lose, it unlocked the "10 loses" achievement. Wow. Other than that, with my limited experience, it also seems to be very repetitive and expects you to grind for unlocks. One of those games where you can't win unless you unlock stuff over time.
