HAND OF FATE: HORDES is a dark-fantasy bullet heaven auto-shooter powered by your strategic deckbuilding mastery. Survive the horde, forge your build, and unleash devastating attacks to escape a netherworld beyond the 13th Gate. Thrive in chaos!
Beyond the 13th Gate, you are imprisoned within the Shadow Vaults where the banished Dealer devises your demise. Unravel his dark designs as you carve through endless hordes, deadly quests, and fearsome bosses to break free.
Master four heroes – Trickster, Goblin, Warrior, and Rebel – each with distinct ranged, melee, and magic fighting styles.
Outnumbered but never outplayed, build your deck to empower your heroes and twist the dungeon to your advantage.
By the original indie designers of Hand of Fate™.
Starring Hand of Fate's Anthony Skordi as the Dealer.
Battle through waves of enemies strategically wielding tools shaped by the deck you've built.
Hone your skills as your deck expands. You choose the cards that define your run and stack the odds in your favor.
Build your powers with every run. Unlock new rarities, story Encounters, fantasy melee, ranged, and magic weapons, treasure-filled events, and powerful blessing modifiers.
Experiment and perfect your build for each hero and new challenge. Choose wisely. Every card shapes your run - for better or for worse.
Win powerful boons and buffs through card shuffle and dice minigames.
Earn Tokens that unlock game changing rewards at the end of each run.
New Heroes, Quests, Dungeons, Bosses, and Weapon updates dropped throughout the year.
