   Hand Of Fate, does require quite a few plays through before you can really exploit the many layers this game has.
   
   But once you know whats going on, this is a very thought provoking experience which really got my imagination going.
   
   I had a moment while token hunting where I just walked past starving children because I had other plans for my whole sackload of food.
   
   Sounds horrible, buts its just a pretend card in a video game.
   The children arent real and yet, there is the games power.
   You are forced to make choices, to juggle your resources and risk all, for often the smallest gain.
   
   Its hard.
   And you are meant to die.
   And yet you come back, again and again.
   
   The more you win.
   The harder it gets!
   
   Dont expect a cake walk.
   This is a fight.
   Both using strategy,
   And your reflexes when the game goes into 3rd person battle mode.
   
   I look forward to seeing more reviews of this excellent game.
   
   Bring on the boss!!!… Expand

The game play is very well balanced and very polished, you have to remember that this game revolves around risk and luck. It's not 100% reliant on either of the two, you set the risk/reward ratio when you set your deck up. You shape your adventure. For example: if you want a higher chance to find a Frost Blade Sword add 3 Frost Blade cards into your deck.
   
   Graphics: 10/10
   - Very well done considering this was made with the Unity Engine!
   - Framerates are better than the console versions
   
   Gameplay: 10/10
   - Original and Unique
   
   Story: 9/10
   - The dealer is your best friend and worst enemy, you never really know.
   
   Price: $20USD - Very fairly priced - this game almost feels like a AAA game.
   
   This game is already amazingly fun to play and I would have no issue paying 5-10 dollars for a decently sized expansion DLC.
   
   To all you Diablo fans and dungeon hunters - this game is a must! The card game aspect may seem boring but you will forget you're playing a card game.… Expand

This is especially apparent on the final level of the game which I've given up on ever trying to complete. However, the game does have its moments and with its splendid graphics, professional voice acting and a top-class soundtrack, there's a lot to recommend, provided you're ready for a challenge.… Expand

Well the cards are nice and its interesting to see what each new card does but the each gets boring fast. The RPG elements of the game where of within the first ten minutes and the bit of action part of the game is only that, a bit. Overall its kinda nice but I felt as if I had already dominated the next encounter without even seeing it. In other words it's easy and boring. However I do have to give it some respect because its not trying to be awesome and amazing, it's only trying decent and it doesn't pretend that its the greatest thing ever created. However I also condem it because it just doesn't have any ambition.… Expand

En plus, on ne peut pas construire d'hôtel sur l'Avenue du Parc, celui qui rapporte une blinde et qui entraîne tes adversaires dans la dépression, la faillite et le suicide.
   
   Bref, cet ersatz de jeu devient vite répétitif et désuet, d'autant que les combats sont en temps réel et se résument à de pauvres "tape-tape-tape" sans aucun intérêt dans quelques décors bâclés et des graphismes 256 couleurs. Rien d'étonnant finalement puisque c'est le propre des jeux indés de recycler de vieux concepts dépassés pour les revendre "vite fait mal fait"... mais nous ne sommes pas dupes ! remballe tes cartes pourries et va voir ailleurs si j'y suis, misérable !… Expand
