Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure has players return to the world of Hand of Fate in a deck-building meets auto-shooter. Draw cards and carve through hordes of lethal monsters. Unlock new heroes, upgrades and encounters, and stack your hand against the Dealer’s fiendish challenge decks.

This new title brings the franchise’s signature “cards come to life” deckbuilding into a fast-paced roguelike autoshooter, complete with a deep progression system. Players unlock new equipment, encounters, blessings, and powerful enchantments by discovering and completing encounter cards dealt into each stage. Fight through hordes of fiendish monsters and survive long enough to confront the powerful bosses in each of the game's challenges.

"We're honored to be returning to the world of Hand of Fate and to finally be able to share the demo with all of the fans - new and old," Spiritfire Interactive team member Cade shared, "The demo gives an early glimpse at what Hordes of Fate has to offer and includes an early challenge, and our first playable hero. And for those who defeat the boss, a second, harder difficulty is available. The full game, releasing later in the year, will expand with more challenges, boss variety, playable heroes, enemy types and locations, equipment, encounters and quests all wrapped in a deeper progression system with more tokens to unlock. We're so excited to see people play and appreciate the Hand of Fate series in a whole new way!"

Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure is launching on PC (via Steam) in 2025, with a demo on Steam available on May 15. More updates will be shared leading up to launch on the Spiritfire Interactive X account and their website.

Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure is supported by the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland’s Games Grants.
