Hand of Fate is a hybrid action‑RPG and deck‑building adventure developed and published by Defiant Development, released for Windows on February 17, 2015. In this unique experience, you draw cards to determine your quests, encounters, and mysteries—like a tabletop card game brought to life. Behind the scenes, a mysterious Dealer narrates your adventure, dealing cards that shape your path through dungeons, towns, and battles.
Gameplay blends roguelike progression, strategic deck building, and visceral real‑time combat. You build a custom deck of equipment, encounter, and class cards that dictate the layout and challenges of your run. Cards can present shops, traps, allies, and fearsome foes; when combat triggers, cards transform into enemies you fight from a third‑person action perspective.
As you progress, you unlock hundreds of items, gear, artifacts, and encounters, making every playthrough different. With its replayability, engaging blend of mechanics, and atmospheric narration, Hand of Fate has become a standout indie title for players who love card games and action‑RPGs alike.
