Hand of Fate 2

This game single-handedly inspired a card game ive been working on for over 2 years. This game also inspired me to get into game development/design. This game also has one of the best fantasy worlds of any game i have ever played. Furthermore, this game has some of the most unique, and engaging mechanics in any game i have ever played. HOWEVER, the combat is horrible. This would have been easily one of my most played games ever, if the combat wasn't so poorly designed. For the first few hours, the combat is somewhat engaging, but eventually, it just becomes uninteresting, and boring. The enemies feel pretty much all the same to fight, with only minor differences between them. The movement and attacking feels clunky, but most of all, its just way too easy. The enemies only attack once every 10 or so seconds, which can just be easily dodged, or blocked. And since the enemies are so apprehensive to actually attack you, they just end up feeling like training dummies that you just beat on. All of this on top of each other just makes combat something you slog through, and not something you actually have to overcome. I found myself legitimately ALT+F4ing to go back to a previous encounter to avoid combat (when i started the game up again, The Dealer did slander me for circumventing the game's mechanics by closing the game, which i thought was actually ingenious, but thats besides the point) I still recommend the game, because of how incredible the other aspects of the game are, and how impactful it has been on my life, but don't expect anything from the combat.
