What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
HoF2 builds upon the predecessor bringing new features, slightly (on global scale) improving combat and making challenges more interesting both gameplay- and plot-wise sacrificing difficulty in the process.
Overall Hand of Fate 2 for the casual player is a major improvement over Hand of Fate 1, especially in the story department.
I never felt the combat got stale in this one, and it was at the right level of difficulty.
Much better than its predeccessor, but still repetive, especially due to the longer gameplay in endless mode, the music and sound design takes much of Hand of Fate 1 and adds to it.
The game is also very well made and optimized, with beautiful graphics, sound, and music.
While I will praise the improved graphical engine, character customization, partner system, and further flushed out dialogue for making the game feel more like a lively fantasy adventure it seems to abandon the framework of the original game which is what made it fun.
