Be it enemy encounters or serendipitous reunions with the generous Maiden, it is important to keep a good balance of different card types in order to diversify your loot portfolio. One facet that makes Hand of Fate so interesting is that it is up to the player to assemble their own deck. From the Jack of Dust or the King of Bones, each boss is more difficult than the last, changing the way the game is played through curse cards and a veritable scale in difficulty. Their opposite: Gain cards, which reward the player with all of the above, as well as equipment cards that are used to help them during their next encounter or combat scenario.Īt its core, Hand of Fate is a rogue-like game, much like The Binding of Isaac,each taking form in brief chapters or “runs.” At the beginning of each new run, the cards are re-shuffled and dealt anew, as the player strives to reach the bottom floor of the ever-shifting dungeon and defeat the boss at the end. These punishments take the form of “pain” cards, which cause the player to lose food, gold, and health. “Encounter” cards take the form of ambushes and fearsome dungeons, as well as friendly priests, townsfolk, and traveling bards that each face the player with opportunities for reward and punishment. Seated across from the robed and enigmatic Dealer, the player descends into a world that promises both peril and glory in equal measures.Īs Hand of Fate begins proper, the Dealer shuffles the cards and lays them out on the table the player’s mission is to navigate the maze of cards, encountering friends, enemies, and promises of loot along their quest for victory. This new game has been making a lot of noise on the grapevine, but I confess that I had never even heard of the original! As stingy as always, I opted to check out the cheaper Hand of Fate to see if the new game seems promising.Ĭreated by Defiant Development, Hand of Fate is an indie title that presents the player with an immersive virtual card game that puts their power of memory, strategy, and reaction to the test. Great job Storm!! Keep up the good work.As of November 7th, 2017, the sequel to Hand of Fate, dubbed Hand of Fate 2, was released to the virtual shelves, giving fans another glimpse into the dark and mysterious world of the Black Deck. The Aeroflo core appears to do it's job well, but the Traction X7 cover on the Atomic core would be nice, too! Wink, wink. It's just right for my game and I look forward to Storm putting the cover on other weight blocks or cores. Again, I think the Parallax is a great ball and it should be in the running for ball of the year, behind the Axiom. The new Traction X7 cover is quickly becoming my favorite of all the product line. Strikes are coming in bunches for me and it's all due to the new coverstock. Also, it will not burn up or roll out like some of the stronger heavy oil balls when the heads start to go or there is not enough oil. It does not overreact to the friction, yet it is still strong. Storm got this one right! For me, the Parallax is the perfect balance of strong, yet controllable on the lanes. Yes, even better than the Physix, which was also a great ball. In my opinion, the Storm Parallax is the best hybrid ball that the company has produced in a very long time.

This ball has a lot of hook for a shiny ball. The Parallax rolls great on heavier patterns. Summary: The Parallax uses a new core to compensate for the new balance hole rules. This ball was a nice surprise especially with a weaker layout for me. When I need a big hooking polished ball but with less angle than the Axiom the trend is on point. My Parallax is much stronger than my Trend but surprisingly my Axiom Pearl is stronger than my Parallax. In most cases less is more on the layout allowing the ball to store energy for better carry.

I feel these newer balls that take in account the no balance hole rule do not need to be drilled too strong to react great. The Parallax is a heavy rolling ball with just the right amount of back end motion. I drilled the next one weaker in relation to the MB and Pin and bam! I now have a hit for what we typically bowl on when they oil them up a bit more than usual. I like it but will regulate this layout to tournament conditions where there is more head oil. I drilled my first one with the Mass Bias mark on my VAL and the pin 3-3/4 from PAP which resulted in the ball reading too early and responding too early for our house conditions even with my lower rev rate. Speed at cameras 15.5 Review: The new Storm Parallax is a very strong polished Hybrid bowling ball.
