You might not have seen the news, but the sequel to Hand of Fate, and the game we've been working hard on for the last 2 years is almost done! In less than three weeks, you'll be able to play HoF2 for youself. If you want to keep up to date with what we're up to, the best bet is to go over to http://store.steampowered.com/app/456670/Hand_of_Fate_2/ and wishlist HoF2. I mean, you should do that anyways, because it's going to be awesome. Over the next three weeks, you'll see a lot more information dropping about HoF2 - reviews, streams, etc. More than anything though, we're excited to show you what we've built. There's a tonne in there (the game is much bigger than HoF1) and there's a tonne of new stuff - companions that play alongside you, customisation, deckbuilding challenges, and a tonne more depth. Looking forward to joining you on the Dealer's quest for revenge!

We are very excited to announce that not only has the boardgame adaptation of Hand of Fate, HoF: Ordeals, hit Kickstarter, but it smashed its KS goal in less than six hours! Now that we’ve all had our morning coffees and shaken the disbelief out of our systems it’s time to reveal the first stretch goal - Goblins! If you’ve encountered goblins in Hand of Fate before, you know what to expect from them on the tabletop: they’re going to steal your equipment! If you manage to take them down, however, you’ll be very richly rewarded. Looking to future unlocks, there are a couple of addition encounters and trap challenges we're approaching the threshold for, and then the first of our big exciting secrets! Things so secret that I may have already said too much! If you’re keen to pledge or to take a look at what we’re offering, head on over to Hand of Fate Ordeals on Kickstarter! We’d love to have your support!

The second of our free Winter updates is now live (again)! Apologies for the false start - and welcome the Mages of the White Council!
[ 2015-11-27 07:27:51 CET ] [ Original post ]
Looks like those pesky Mages get in everywhere! The latest update introduced a bug - sorry for anyone who found themselves facing nothing but White Council V cards! We've now rolled the build back, and we'll reupload the White Council tomorrow, this time without the Mages getting their tricks in the mix. Sorry about that!
[ 2015-11-26 08:38:30 CET ] [ Original post ]
The White Council has begun to increase its reach, demanding taxes and tariffs from the neighbouring towns. It is up to you to discover why, and in the process uncover the secrets of the Mages.
[ 2015-11-26 05:22:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Christmas holidays are fast approaching so to celebrate we will be releasing free content in the coming weeks.
The first of four instalments is Winters Hunt.
The myth of the White Minotaur may have some truth to it.
This beast is master of both strength and magic but you are not the only person in this hunt.
Heed the Song of the White Minotaur (this will be in your deck after the update) to begin your adventure.

We've just launched our latest update to support our first DLC, Wildcards. In addition to unlocking the power to select your Fate and change the way the game plays, we've updated the game to support Unity 5 - which means it's faster and better looking. All players will have access to 3 Fates - which allow you to play the game in easy, normal, or hard difficulty. In addition, the DLC adds 9 more - each with their own Encounters, Items, and unique rule changes.

Just a note to say we're testing a patch right now that fixes the sound issues some people have had (you can also fix this by going in to the menu and back out) and fixes some exploits in Endless Mode. It should release on Monday.

For all our new players, welcome aboard! We can't wait to show you what Hand of Fate is all about. For our Early Access players - thank you for helping us make Hand of Fate everything it is today. We couldn't have done it without your support and feedback!
[ 2015-02-17 14:29:03 CET ] [ Original post ]
Tomorrow we launch the 1.0 version of Hand of Fate. Thank you so much for being part of the journey that has got us here. We're incredibly pleased with the game we've built, and we're glad that you took a chance on us early on. As a small reward for getting in Early and taking the risk, we'll be gifting you our first DLC (when it launches in 4 weeks) FREE. Thanks for all the support along the way - this isn't the end of development for us, just the first major milestone. We plan to keep supporting Hand of Fate for a long time, and we're really excited about what's coming up. The DLC is based on requests from our players for different ways to play the game - so it enables a whole bunch of new starting conditions that will change up the way things go. Your feedback has helped us make Hand of Fate the game it is. I hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as we have!
[ 2015-02-17 02:54:51 CET ] [ Original post ]
We've just submitted our 1.0 build to all parties and been accepted, so that means our release date is now locked in for mid-Feb. We'll let you know the EXACT date as soon as we've got it, but it should be a couple of weeks from now. Can't wait to get you the 1.0 version!
[ 2015-02-03 01:59:33 CET ] [ Original post ]
Your last chance to have your feedback included in our 1.0 build, as we close our Early Access period and move to 1.0! Massive changes to balance, a host of bugfixes, revised encounters and new ways to succeed in Endless Mode.

Deckbuilding comes to life in Hand of Fate!
An infinitely replayable series of quests - earn new cards, build your deck, then try to defeat it!
Beyond the thirteen gates at the end of the world, the game of life and death is played. Draw your cards, play your hand, and discover your fate. Hand of Fate is a hybrid roguelike/action-RPG/deck builder, in which the player builds a set of cards into a deck, which is then used to deal out the dungeon floors through which they adventure. Upon entering a combat, all of the cards the player has collected fly into their hands as fully modeled 3D assets, and combat begins.
Build your deck, enter the world of Hand of Fate, and prepare to face the Ace of Skulls.
Key Features
* Tabletop card game brought to vivid life.
* A unique take on roguelike gameplay.
* Visceral action-RPG combat.
* Game changing gear and items make every play through unique.
* Hundreds of encounters, items, armor, weapons, artifacts, and mysteries to unlock.
* Unique deck building mechanics let you customise your own adventure, as you seek to defeat the Jack, Queen and King of each suit.
