The first game was great, but the combat could be a bit janky. She's a tank-style fighter, with a high luck stat outside of combat.
This new trailer for Hand of Fate 2 reveals the game's release date - November 7 - and shows the player picking up a weapon card during the tabletop portion of the game that their warrior can then use during combat.ĭevelopers Defiant Development also released a few screenshots to show off Ariadne of Stiegal, a newly revealed playable character. This is the roguelike element of the game sometimes your character will be flung into battle, which, in the first game, was designed around a system similar to the Batman: Arkham games. Hand of Fate 2 is played partly at a desk as a mysterious man places cards before you and you navigate forward with dice rolls and conversation choices, like an intense one-on-one RPG session. Hand of Fate was a fantastic, slightly under-the-radar mix of combat and rougelike storytelling, and now we're just a month out from what looks like a bigger, better sequel.
