Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • This catalog entry appears to be a miscategorization: Hand of Fate is a single-player action RPG with no online multiplayer at all, not an MMO.
  • If you enjoy its unique blend of card-based dungeon design and real-time combat, it's a well-regarded indie title worth playing on its own merits.
  • Worth knowing about for fans of roguelike-adjacent deckbuilders researching genre history.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • There is no multiplayer of any kind — no co-op, no PvP, no persistent shared world of the kind this site catalogs.
  • If this profile is being used to evaluate MMO-style shared-world features, this entry doesn't fit the genre this site is built around.
  • Consider flagging this listing for recategorization under single-player action RPGs rather than MMO/MMORPG.
