In a cabin at the end of the world, the game of life and death is played. Draw your cards, play your hand, and discover your fate.

Hand of Fate is a hybrid roguelike/action-RPG/deck builder, in which players build a set 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 players have collected fly into their hands as fully modeled 3D assets, and combat begins.

Key Features

  • Tabletop card game brought to vivid life.
  • A unique take on roguelike gameplay.
  • Visceral action-RPG combat.
  • Game changing gear and items make every play through unique.
  • Hundreds of encounters, items, armor, weapons, artifacts, and mysteries to unlock.
  • Unique deck-building mechanics let you customise your own adventure as you seek to defeat the Jack, Queen and King of each suit.

The game, by indie developer Defiant Development, will be released in April 2014 for PC, Mac and Linux. A Kickstarter campaign is in progress until December 13, 2013.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
