The USP is The Flaw
TL;DR Great for theme and fun mechanics early on but don't expect to be kept occupied by it for long as it becomes repetitive. Hand of Fate is a board game with real time Arkham style combat in which you will face the dealer. Each level is built from cards that you choose from those that you have collected as you play through the game. The theme is brilliant blending card and computer game very nicely with nice visuals and sounds. The games concept is quite unique for PC gaming but similar to some living card in the board game market. I don't believe that they have built enough on the weaknesses that exist in the board game and in some aspects I believe the board games are better. The developer should have investigated a more dynamic play style and utilised the possibilities with the PC more rather than keeping it a strict board game clone. I believe the games unique selling point is ultimately its main flaw as the board game influence locks it in to a repetitive and predictable cycle. The games background does it no favours either as its always the same place. Maybe the developer could have broke it up with more cut scenes for the in game events rather than combat and stores only. Another RPG card game which had a similar theme but wasn't repetitive was Lost Kingdoms on the Nintendo Game Cube which maybe worth a look. In conclusion it's definitely worth a play if you like the concept but would avoid it if you want a deep, complex or a game that will keep you occupied in the long run.
