    It says right click to defend, I right click and they don't hold up the shield. A little later there is some token on the card and it says i should find it (even though it is right there in the open) so I click on it to see what happens, and it skips through the text before i read it, and there is no back button. Also can't see extra items in inventory without clicking every single slotIt says right click to defend, I right click and they don't hold up the shield.

    Really? Every time you die, you have to restart everything from the very beginning, and play the exact same stuff all over again. Why?

    Unfortunately, sequel kept some of the problems. The major one is how luck-dependent the progress is, especially when it comes to food: if you don’t get an encounter with a trader in time, you’ll die of hunger, but if you meet him too early, when you don’t have money to spare – again, starvation it is. If you get robbed at the market... well, you get the idea. [Issue#226, p.55]

    I’m really glad that the developers decided to create a sequel, as they learned a lot and managed to improve every element of the original game, including the campaign which evolved into a really thought-out, demanding adventure. [01/2018, p.40]

    Hand of Fate 2 is certainly a much more improved product over the original. Upgraded presentation aside, there's more of a story to back up the game, so you're given a purpose instead of playing The Dealer's game just for the sake of it. Combat may not have improved much, but everything else has, making for a deeper journey even if luck spoils things now and again. Even without the upcoming extras, Hand of Fate 2 is worth checking out.
