There are hundreds of cards in the game, giving you plenty of choice for the challenges that you’ll face. Your cards determine your companion, your encounters, what equipment you can collect as well as your starting equipment and stats. Half the deck is set by the dealer, while the other half is determined by what you pick from your collection.
There’s cards like ‘westward plague’ where you can fight an enemy type known as ‘corrupted’ to earn money, ‘arm wrestle’ where you can earn money in a game of dice, and ‘general store’ where you can trade equipment or buy food. Each new step reveals a card which can have a number of different effects. A single death means restarting a challenge from the beginning, so it’s vital to prepare accordingly. It is your job to traverse the table, increase your stats, earn new equipment and try to stay alive throughout. At the start of each new challenge, all of your stats and equipment are reset. The best part about the game is by far the tabletop card game itself. Towards the end of the game, an overarching plot begins to seep in, and while it is nice to see a little bit of context as to the occurence of this ‘game’ that you’re playing, it isn’t fleshed out enough to leave any lasting impact. It’s nice to see a little bit of voice acting in an otherwise quiet game, but he often butts in at the same time that the text appears on the screen, meaning that you either have to stop reading and listen to him, or ignore him entirely so that you can concentrate on the text. Sometimes the dealer will commentate on the happenings of the game. Sticking with the D&D style, you’re required to use your imagination to visualize the happenings of the hero, which works well with the tabletop theme that the game is going for. There aren’t any cutscenes, instead the game opts to describe the narrative through text. Your character remains the same throughout Hand of Fate 2, but the game mainly tells the story through little vignettes of your journey. Hand of Fate 2 is divided into 22 challenges, each having their own individual narrative. Hand of Fate 2 is made up of two interwoven gameplay styles: a Dungeons & Dragons style tabletop, text-based dungeon crawler and a hack and slash action game. This quote pretty much sums up Hand of Fate 2 from both the gameplay side of things, as well as the quality of the two areas. But only Makima knows of their existence since Chainsaw Man ate them all up.“Every failure in combat can be balanced by success on the table,” the dealer explains as he eagerly awaits your next move. Recall Chapter 84 where Makima said things like World War 2, the Nazis, Aids, Arnolone syndrome and NUCLEAR WEAPONS once existed and were feared every bit as much as the Devils who had those names. Interestingly enough, Asa Mitaka remembers that Nuclear Weapons once existed. She, Denji and Nayuta will definitely cross paths in the future. And the War Devil is leading her towards her doom – the Chainsaw Man. The red signal indicates Danger is going to enter Asa’s life. In Chapter 98, Asa stopped at a red signal and others why she stopped when the road was clear. This makes sense in the case of Asa Mitaka as she had no friends and was most probably a shut-in who studies a lot. She was fundamentally urban and civilized, the polar opposite of Artemis, the goddess of the outdoors. In Greek religion, Athena, often spelled Athene, is the city protectress, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, who was recognized by the Romans as Minerva. Athena is associated with birds, particularly the owl, which became famous as the symbol of the city of Athens. What adds further weight to this theory is that the War Devil was previously in a body of an owl (another bird).
The 3 graves and the 3 crows flying away at Makima’s disappointment in Chainsaw Man (the Hero of Hell) having Denji’s feelings may seem to indicate that Chainsaw Man along with Nayuta will eradicate them, just as he erased the memories of the Nazis, World War 2, Aids, etc. The panel focuses on 3 Graveyards with 3 crows on top (symbolizing the 3 horsemen of humanity’s apocalypse).
