Hand of fate 2 challenges1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() It doesn’t help that the combat is pretty bad. Combining your cards to create the perfect deck for each challenge is enjoyable and adds a ton of replayability to the game. If you know you are dealing mostly with thieves, throw in plenty of dual wield weapons. If you know you need a lot of money, you can sacrifice some of the item events for money events. The different challenges have different goals and enemies and you have to plan accordingly. There are a ton of new cards this time around and they all add something fun and unique to the game. One aspect carried over from the original game and improved, however, is in the deck building. Hand of Fate 2 offers very little in the way of character customization. One of the game’s 22 challenges, which act as story missions, was filled with 50/50 card draws. In fact, this happened with Hand of fate 2. I’m the type of person who, if given a scenario where I have a 50% chance to win or lose, I will lose far more than I succeed. Even in DnD you at least have character stats to help you out. I also understand why it is an aspect, tabletop RPGs that inspired this game also rely on luck, but I hate luck based games that require no skill. The wheel and the pendulum are rather similar and there just isn’t a good reason to have both. This is just a barrage of stuff and the game would feel far more focused if half of it was cut. You have a spinning wheel that you have to stop at the right time to select a card, you have dice which require you to to roll equal to or greater than the target number, you have the card shuffles where you pick a card from a shuffled set, and you have the pendulum that you have to land on a specific target. Don’t give me half-assed customization options.Īnother change that doesn’t quite work is all the luck/skill based mini-games. Give me real tools to create my own character or just give me a pre-set one. Yeah, the customization is pretty pointless. It really just comes down to choosing a pre-set character and choosing some pre-set color patterns and a pre-set amulet. You can now kind of customize your character. There are some admirable changes, and some changes that just don’t add anything. Hand of Fate 2 isn’t just a reskin of Hand of Fate. It continues to be the one thing that troubles Hand of Fate 2 and robs it of greatness. Just like the original, the combat is mediocre that adds nothing new. Still, I find myself wishing it was just better. A deck-builder mixed with dungeon crawling is a fantastic idea. I want to like Hand of Fate 2 a lot more than I do. ![]()
