Hand of Fate

The deckbuilding aspect of this game is cool. The story and combat also play well

3/5 The game isn’t terrible, but it never quite finds its rhythm. I dropped it years ago just before the halfway mark because the pacing felt sluggish and the moment‑to‑moment gameplay rarely became exciting. The combat, in particular, feels unpolished and oddly disconnected, largely due to the deliberate slow‑motion effect applied to every strike. It’s a familiar idea for an Arkham‑style system, but here it’s pushed too far, making encounters feel floaty rather than impactful. The lack of camera control doesn’t help either. In certain situations (both in combat and of the board) you’re stuck with whatever angle the game chooses, even when a manual adjustment would clearly improve visibility. These issues aren’t game‑breaking, though; they’re just persistent annoyances. The real frustration arrives at the final boss. Conceptually, it’s a clever idea, but the execution is extremely poor. Without spoiling the interesting part, the disappointing part is that it devolves into a boss rush. Despite being fully prepared (taking only 1 HP of damage per hit) I still ended up dying in a cheap, unsatisfying way. Overall, the first half feels like a slog, the middle becomes more en…

quite addicting rogue-like with button mashing battles strewn in between. Only the final boss and it´s level is no fun at all, and I doubt I ever complete that on normal difficulty.

As good as the last time I remembered it. My controller though is a bit weird with it though but the game is perfectly playable with M&K.

A very cool hybrid of games where it focuses a lot on the board-gamey rogue-lite exploration and the combat which feels a lot like a tightly improved version of Fable's. (8BitDo Micro review pending)
