If allows you to choose re-draw a chance card if you did not get what you wanted the first time. If you can buy it or happen to draw it, "Guardian Angel" is a great blessing to have while going for this. It may be slightly easier in Endless Mode, as there is no set ending to that mode it keeps going until you die. This can be done in Story Mode or Endless Mode. Get 15 'Success' or 'Huge Success' chance cards in a single session. ![]() The equipment and encounter cards for each boss can ONLY be obtained by defeating them in story mode.Īs this game is all about infinitely replayable, randomized dungeon runs, it's completely up to you the order you approach things. For the sake of variety, I recommend switching back and forth between these modes. ![]() After defeating Jack of Plague, it's completely up to you whether you want to continue playing through Story Mode or mix in some Endless Mode. You will have to start in Story Mode, as Endless Mode does not unlock until after the defeat of Jack of Plague, the 4th boss of Story mode. Skill in combat will help a lot in getting all the achievements, but there is an element of randomness / luck to getting the cards you need as well. and anyone who tells you they killed every boss on their first attempt is lying Additional sessions will be needed to unlock every card. It takes a minimum of 13 sessions to complete Story Mode. The length of a session usually runs 20-40 minutes, in my experience.ĭue to the randomness of every round's card / board state, and the differing possible outcomes of cards, the number of sessions players may need to play, and the overall time needed to snag every achievement, are going to vary WILDLY from person to person. In Endless Mode, play continues until you die. In Story Mode, the game ends with death or defeating a boss. The game also automatically saves after every move, so it's easy to put the game down and come back to your dungeon run later.Įxplanation of Playtime : Hand of Fate plays like a card game, or a board game, where there is a set duration of length for a session. ![]() This is a game that can be enjoyed in short bursts or for hours in a row. Every session is different and the replay value is incredible. Players make up decks of the equipment they hope to draw for their hero, and various encounter cards (events), and then venture into randomly shuffled dungeons. It is part card game, board game, dungeon crawler, action game, choose-your-own-adventure, and RPG. Introduction: Hand of Fate mixes many genres into one unique package. For consistency with the achievement descriptions, that is the term I will use for a game.Įncounter - Encounters are the cards that are placed on the table and form the various events that make up a Hand of Fate session. A session begins with the initial shuffling of the deck and starting board position, and ends with the death of the target boss (in Story Mode) or the player's death (Story or Endless).

Some are still missing data, and a few I want to pad out more. Status Report - As of 2/23, most achievement text is near-final. If you've been playing the game, you know what I mean. As I will explain in the guide, a lot of these achievements require the stars to align for you, so I know how to get many more of the achievements than I have been physically able to unlock at this point. ![]() Work in Progress - There's a lot of info to know, so I'm updating the guide / notes as I learn more.
