![]() ![]() Counting CardsĮach ‘level’ in Hand of Fate 2 features an overarching goal, with sub-goals discovered within the overturned cards. These disparate elements don’t sound as though they’d go together all that way but in Hand of Fate 2 they go like wine and cheese. Others are tests of skill and luck and some are third-person hack n slash combat. Some are simple scenes told through text which require you to make a decision. As he deals cards, you move your token across them and turn them over to discover the challenge they hold. When you begin, you’re introduced to The Dealer a mysterious figure who forces you to play his game. As mentioned, it’s a hybrid RPG, tabletop and action game that combines great elements from these genres and combines them in a stunning way. Hand of Fate 2 was originally released in November 2017 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One and has now been ported to Switch. Going into Hand of Fate 2 can be a bit daunting at first, but once you’re in, there’s every chance you’ll have a hard time getting out again. What holds it all together is incredible attention to detail and an obvious love of narrative. Hand of Fate 2 from Australia’s own Defiant Development is a brilliant combination of Dungeons & Dragons storytelling, card and dice tabletop mechanics and Batman Arkham combat. Being able to play a game in this genre and of this level of quality on Nintendo’s portable console makes it even more enjoyable, which I honestly didn’t think was possible. Playing it on Switch makes it somehow, even better. ![]()
