With a successful Kickstarter that wrapped up in December of 2013, Defiant Development are inching closer to releasing Hand of Fate. The game can be classified as a rogue-like action adventure deck building game.
“Hand of Fate combines the furious fast-paced action of button mashers with fantasy and role-playing elements that anyone who has ever picked up a 20 sided die will recognize,” Morgan Jaffit, Director, Defiant Development, explains. “Anyone who falls in the cross section of PC gamer and board or card game enthusiast will have more fun playing Hand of Fate than a Game of Thrones fan reading the manuscripts of the two unreleased books.”
Hand of Fate is a game of Life & Death. You play against The Dealer and along the way you learn why and who’s life you’re trying to save. The most interesting aspect of the game is when certain decisions take you into a 3D world and you have to fight and kill certain enemies. A successful adventure will earn you more rewards and better cards from The Dealer. During the course of your game, your character will encounter many decisions and it will be up to you as to whether to tempt the Hand of Fate.
The Early Access build of Hand of Fate is now available for PC, Mac and Linux on Steam at a discounted price of $25 USD, with the final release planned for later in 2014.
