Release Date: November 7, 2017
A new installment of an unusual RPG from Defiant Development, enriched with board and card game elements. Similarly to its predecessor, the player is tasked with taking on the challenges created using cards rolled by a magical enemy, called The Dealer. Thanks to the efforts of the previous protagonist, he was defeated, but the hero was0 corrupted by his own power, and became a bloodthirsty tyrant.
Hand of Fate 2 for PC, PS4 and XONE is an RPG enriched with board and card game elements. The project was developed by Defiant Development – the team responsible for the first Hand of Fate.
Similarly to the first installment, Hand of Fate 2 pits the player against the challenges created using cards rolled by a magical enemy, known as The Dealer. He was defeated at the end of the previous game, but the victorious protagonist was corrupted by his own power, and spent the next century as a bloodthirsty tyrant. The Dealer returns, chooses a female student (the new protagonist) and teaches her, so that she can overthrow the spoilt ruler.
When it comes to the gameplay mechanics, Hand of Fate 2 for PC, PS4 and XONE stays true to the solutions presented in the first installment. As before, we traverse the world, moving the checker representing our hero, and discovering further cards, which can symbolize enemies, neutral characters, various locations and other elements constituting a fully-fledged adventure. If we encounter an enemy, the game takes us to a three-dimensional environment known from classic action RPGs, where we have to personally face monsters and traps, and sovle minigames.
However, a number of new elements have been added which hadn’t been present in the original. A new layer of gameplay has been added to the game map, introducing more situations with potential encounters. Additionally, our hero doesn’t have to walk alone anymore – we can now recruit comrades and create a party.
To finish the original Hand of Fate, the player only had to reach the end of The Dealer’s deck. The sequel contains new victory requirements, such as e.g. getting the required amount of gold. A bigger diversity of objectives is also seen during action sequences. Previously, all you had to do was to defeat all enemies, but now, we receive extra objectives, for example – keeping a goblin alive for 60 seconds by repelling infinite waves of enemies.

Game Ratings for Hand of Fate 2 Video Game.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by James O'Connor
A much-improved sequel that blends disparate gameplay styles to create a compelling roguelike experience.
PC Gamer: 82 / 100 by Eric Watson
Hand of Fate 2 is a satisfying sequel and a meatier dungeon crawler, but still somewhat hampered by limited combat.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
Almost impossible to categorise yet utterly compelling as a result, Hand of Fate 2 brings a new and unique RPG experience to Nintendo Switch. There's just so much to enjoy here; the rewarding premise of its deck-building, the endless depth of its questing, the simple pleasure of its combat. It's taken a little while to make the transition to Switch, but the wait has been worth it; this is a mobile port that's practically indistinguishable from the version you can play elsewhere. Do yourself a favour and get this fantasy romp in your digital library right now.
