Hordes of Fate - Demo is now LIVE!May 22, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThe demo for our new title Hordes of Fate is now live! Venture once more into the world of Hand of Fate. We’ve just released a demo of the project the team at Spitfire Interactive are working on (a collection of Defiant alumni who’ve been working on their own since Defiant ceased developing) - a new approach to combining deckbuilding with action that we’re excited for you to get your hands on! Hordes of Fate drops you once more into a world of memory, mythology, and mayhem. Bullet Heaven / Autoshooter gameplay combines with the ability to stack your deck, choose your encounters, and control your destiny. This is only the beginning of the journey, but the demo is live now! Your feedback is critical to helping us shape the future of Hordes of Fate! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3075410A new title in the world of Hand of Fate!Mar 4, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWe’re excited to reveal our latest project, Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure, which blends Hand of Fate’s deckbuilding cards to life universe with a frenetic auto-shooter. Choose your hero, your weapons and encounter cards, and embark on a series of escalating challenges against hordes of foes to help restore the Dealer’s dominion over his court, one card at a time. We’re thrilled to be returning to the world of Hand of Fate and expanding on this setting once again when Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure launches later in 2025.

Ten years of Hand of Fate. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6258085/22d5ab1ac1d050fa6688e84e250d60478efca622.jpg What an adventure it’s been, and what a decade has passed. Thank you all for being a part of the journey since then. When Hand of Fate launched we had no idea that it would help to establish roguelike deckbuilding as a genre, launch a board game, lead to a sequel, and inspire titles and developers that followed. Until we’d finished building it we didn’t really know what it was, or if anyone would care. It’s impossible to think about the release of Hand of Fate without thinking about the circumstances that prevailed a decade ago. It was a time of post financial crisis chaos in the games industry, but also a time of opportunity and potential. None of us who made games in that time realised we were in a golden age, yet looking back it’s impossible to see it elsewise. An explosion of fresh creative works that had been bound up inside traditional commercial game development rushed to light with the opening of mobile and PC distribution. We count ourselves fortunate to have been able to be part of that. Opportunity is always the partner of chaos. While Defiant is no longer developing new titles, the many people who made Hand of Fate what it was have travelled on to do new and wonderful things. Each and every person who touched Hand of Fate across the years brought something unique, personal, and special to the table. At its heart, that’s the reason we make games. Without all the people who cared, nothing that followed would have happened. Our community has been ever present and always inspiring. I’ve included some examples of great fan art throughout the ages! Thanks for ten years, and here’s to the future.
