Step beyond the 13th Gate and survive the challenges laid out by the banished Dealer.

Created by the original indie team behind the Hand of Fate series and featuring the return of Anthony Skordi as the iconic Dealer, Hand of Fate: Hordes is available NOW in Steam Early Access.

Combining fast-paced survivor-like combat with strategic deckbuilding and the dark fantasy world of Hand of Fate, every run is shaped by the choices you make.

Prepare for the Dealer's New Game

Beyond the 13th Gate, you are imprisoned within the Shadow Vaults, where the banished Dealer has devised a new game for your demise.

Choose from four distinct heroes:

  • Trickster - quick, cunning and deadly at range.

  • Goblin - small, unpredictable and dangerously powerful with magic.

  • Warrior - a relentless melee fighter built to face the horde head-on.

  • Rebel - a defiant hero determined to create their own fate.

Build the deck that shapes your journey, uncover powerful weapons, blessings and enchantments, and unlock new cards and Tokens to aid future runs.

No two runs are ever the same.

Launch Discount

Hand of Fate: Hordes is available now for $11.99 / €11.99, with 20% off for the first 14 days.

Players looking to further support development can also pick up the Supporter Pack, featuring exclusive chrome cosmetic skins for heroes, cards and dice.

Early Access Is Just the Beginning!

Today's launch is only the first step.

Throughout Early Access, we'll continue expanding Hand of Fate: Hordes with new heroes, quests, Encounters, dungeons, bosses, weapons and gameplay updates.

Just as importantly, we'll be building the game alongside the community.

Once you've had the chance to play, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Tell us about your favourite heroes and builds, what you enjoy, what feels frustrating and where you think the experience could be improved.

Every piece of feedback helps shape the future of the game.

We’ve created dedicated pinned posts in the Steam Community Hub for feedback and bug reports, so you’ll always know the best place to share what you’re experiencing.

Using those threads helps us keep reports organised and makes it easier for the team to review, investigate and respond.

That said, we’ll also be keeping an eye on feedback shared across our other social channels, including Discord and social media. Wherever you choose to share your thoughts, we’re listening.

Thank you for joining us as we begin the next chapter of Hand of Fate.

The Dealer is waiting.
