Hand of Fate 2 Review

When the original Hand of Fate dropped onto the Xbox One almost three years ago, it came out of nowhere. The intriguing concept of being an action-RPG/card game hybrid was enough to draw me in, and seemingly many others were drawn in too as its success has lead to a sequel. Even though Hand of Fate is a good game, there’s plenty of room for improvement and Hand of Fate 2 hopes to build upon that. Have Defiant Development dealt us a better hand in Hand of Fate 2, or will we be hoping for a redraw?

So overall, the surprise success has spawned a fitting sequel in Hand of Fate 2, with deeper RPG elements, interesting lore and some really great challenges which all feel different. The tabletop side and the new action elements blend together well to keep the excitement levels high, as do the new mini-games to test your nerve, skill and luck. The only things holding it back are the lame character customisation options, the annoying Dealer, and the amount of luck needed to succeed. It could also do with some additional enemy types thrown into the mix.

That still hasn’t stopped me going back for one more hand though, because I’ll show this mystical bloke that I am the master of my own fate. You should take the plunge and purchase Hand of Fate 2; it’s your destiny.

Score: 4/5
