Hand of Fate

little bit cluncky but still great

Jogo incrível ! Tem mecânicas de dungeon crawler de baralho como Slay The Spire mas as mistura com um combate hack 'n slash típico, as cartas que o jogador adiciona ao baralho influenciam os acontecimentos e os combates ao longo da dungeon, o jogador pode influenciar as recompensas das batalhas para recuperar seu equipamento conservando seu estilo de jogo e cada chefe trás desafios específicos para a rodada, isso somado a variedade de itens, quests e chefes torna esse jogo memorável mesmo quando comparado com outros mais famosos do gênero. Rejogabilidade alta, história interessante, quests curiosas, fácil de aprender, recompensador de dominar, um jogo do qual nunca vou me esquecer !

第二部有很多优秀的改进，更完善的战斗，更流畅的剧情，更合理的事件收益……如果你在游戏的过程中感受到过快乐，欢迎你在第二部里延续它。 某种意义上，手的选牌不如传统跑团的骰点。它让你感觉自己似乎能够掌控命运，但事实是在很多情况下即使逐帧闪拍也无法分辨第二和第三张牌。这使得2次洗牌就会带来一定的随机因素，3次以上洗牌即是几乎难以分辨的结果。更何况人的观察总有极限，洗牌速度却没有。 这带来了一定的负反馈，这不太好。 另一方面需要指摘的是，装备差距过大。赤血新月作为唯一一把能够处决的武器在强度上一骑绝尘，无尽唯一指定盾牌那必然是骷髅王盾。戒指方差虽大姑且可以一起装备，帽子废的是真废，强的是真强……少一点套路，多一点选择……

It took about 17 hours for me to finish the main boss run. I then played another 10 hours to unlock all the encounters/cards. So a total of 27 hours of enjoyable play time using the normal/default difficulty. It probably would have been less if I would have figured out some boss mechanics faster. After mostly unlocking everything, there really isn't much more to do so end game (endless mode) is just repeating the same runs over and over trying for a better score. The game loop is addictive by trying to unlock the encounters and defeating hard enemies. The combat while simple is quite fun. The progression is well done and you actually get some feel of accomplishment. The only let down here is the randomness of the game can really affect gameplay. [spoiler] You will quickly find the "cheat" to get better outcomes as you don't want to ruin a run or you just want to move forward easier. [/spoiler] The graphics are well done for the age of the game. The music fits well. The voice acting is okay but tends to grate a bit after listening to the dealer harp on repeatedly. The initial dealing either could be faster or skipped. It just wastes time. The deck building aspect is fairly limited but very easy to understand. I did research various encounters online as different outcomes/path can radically change a run. I did get the DLC only as it was very cheap but I felt it didn't really appeal much to me as it didn't add enough to the game to hold my interest. Get it on sale or part of a bundle. It is a nice change of pace from your standard deck builder.

Hand of Fate faz uma boa mistura de deckbuilder de ação, tabuleiro, RPG de mesa e uma pitada de roguelite. A ideia de enfrentar o dealer em uma mesa de cartas, enquanto cada carta vira um evento ou combate, é criativa e dá identidade ao jogo. Conforme as cartas são desbloqueadas, cada tentativa se desenvolve de forma diferente, pelo menos inicialmente, pois alguns problemas aparecem conforme o jogo avança. O combate é simples e funcional (não vejo problema nisso), mas deixa o jogo repetitivo depois de várias runs. Além de que esse tipo de jogo depende bastante de RNG. [b]No geral eu gostei[/b], mesmo sendo simples nas mecânicas. O que [b]realmente me incomodou[/b] foi o posicionamento da câmera. Em momentos com muitos inimigos na tela, principalmente quando o jogo começa a fazer muito spam de inimigos, fica difícil enxergar bem o que está acontecendo e o combate acaba virando um caos. Ainda assim, considero um jogo ok e recomendo para quem gosta da mistura de cartas com ação. No meu caso, foi um daqueles jogos que zerei, mas não senti vontade de continuar para buscar o 100%.

If you’re looking for a roguelike that actually feels different, Hand of Fate is something special. From the very first encounter, the game’s concept hooks you. A deck-building adventure where every card you flip shapes the journey ahead, encounters, gear, enemies, even the layout of your path, it creates a gameplay loop that’s both strategic and intensely personal. You’re not just grinding runs; you’re building them. Every success or failure feels like the result of the deck you constructed and the risks you chose to take. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the atmosphere. Sitting across the table from the Dealer gives the entire game a theatrical, almost intimate tension. And Antony Skordi’s performance as the Dealer is phenomenal. His voice work adds weight, menace, and personality to every line, transforming what could have been a simple framing device into one of the most memorable presences in any roguelike. He doesn’t just narrate your journey, he judges it. Combat carries a satisfying Arkham-style rhythm, while the card mechanics constantly reshape the adventure layer. It’s a clever fusion that somehow works beautifully. Few roguelikes manage to blend mechanics and storytelling this seamlessly. To this day, it remains one of the most unique roguelikes I’ve played.
