    Hand of Fate 2 is a welcome reminder that RPGs don’t have to fall into one of two categories, and its heady mix of deck building and Arkham-esque combat make for a unique experience.

Along the way players will make choices as to how each cards story plays out, and those decisions will lead to games of chance or combat that often offer rewards (or punishments should you fail).

    I initially quite enjoyed this game but, in all honesty, it quickly became pretty repetitive. Completing missions does offer the chance to add new cards to your deck, but whilst they offer new stories, they pretty much all lead to either rolling a dice to meet a target or having to partake in the disappointing combat. To make matters worse, failing a mission means having to repeat it from the start, usually with essentially the same cards and options available.
