Hand of Fate 2

About

Hand of Fate 2 mixes card-based progression with third-person combat and tactical decisions. You navigate a dark fantasy world assembled from a deck of encounters you choose each run. Each card reveals new scenarios like battling soldiers or fending off raiders, blending action-RPG combat with turn-based strategy. Upgrade weapons, manage a combo meter for special attacks, and use companions who alter the board’s rules. The Dealer, a rival player, adapts to your choices, forcing you to balance risk and reward in every move. The game stands out for its deep customization and shifting challenges. Over 200 new cards add encounters ranging from rescuing lovers to defending fortresses. Combat lets you switch between dual daggers and heavy hammers, with enemy types tailored to different card suits. Launched in 2017, it refined its predecessor’s meta-boardgame concept with expanded mechanics and a story focused on the Dealer’s return. Players praise its replayability, with PC and console ports keeping it accessible years later. The mix of card strategy and brutal melee action creates a tense, ever-changing experience.

Storyline

Hand of Fate 2 tells the story of the Dealers defeat, return and revenge. As in the original Hand of Fate, adventurers explore a dark fantasy world built from collectible cards distributed by a magical dealer in a meta-board game. Each overturned card reveals trials including third-person combat, high-risk high-reward minigames and Dungeons and Dragons-style decision making.
