Speaking of combat, the system used in Hand of Fate feels like that of a mix Fable’s hack and slash mechanics mixed in with Batman: Arkham Asylum’s counter system and offers up a few types of enemies that are determined by the draw of a card – the number indicating how many enemies and the suit of the card indicating whether you will encounter rat-men, lizard-men, skeletons, or standard bandits. Curses last the entirety of the level and can only be dispelled for a whopping 75 gold if you happen to draw the traveling mage! Should you succeed, you’ll move on, but should you fail, you can lose health or even become cursed.

Many of these encounters have a success/failure draw in which you will pick from a series of 4 cards that are a mix of (huge)success/(huge)failure. Earned through encounters, Gold can be used to purchase health, food, equipment, or special abilities at vendors drawn up by the deck.Īs your hero progresses level by level through a dungeon, every step is fraught with peril – whether it be a tumble down a ravine as you seek to reclaim a skeleton’s sword, a mysterious traveller, a maze that you must navigate without being taken down by traps, or just a random encounter with some bandits or skeletons. Gold is the resource that allows you to manage food and health much better. Each space consumes a piece of food, and once you reach 0, health will begin to deteriorate instead. If you want to survive, managing your health, gold, and food are essential to your success. Navigating through the dungeons created by the deck of cards is no easy feat, especially as you progress deeper into the game.
