The unique action RPG with card deck building mechanics, Hand of Fate, is finally fully released after a year of being in Early Access. The game has a spiffy new trailer to show off the game:
Hand of Fate was the subject of a GOL cast a while back and was noted as an overall good experience. Not only that, but it's seen good reviews nearly across the board. The hybrid gameplay stands out, interweaving some random elements from roguelikes, deckbuilding from card games and action RPG elements in battle. It's the most original concept I've seen in a game in quite some time and it's nice to see that the game has worked out for those who originally backed it on Kickstarter.
You can grab Hand of Fate on Steam or on GOG.com. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

In my Wishlist, but it'll have to wait a few days :><: . EAGER to play it!

I just bought it, played the first hour and I'm really enjoying it so far. A refreshing change for sure.

bought this today, amazing and fun. I really like the unique take on an action RPG with strategy elements. the fighting is fluid with plenty of options for counters and combos. the story mode is well done 16 stories within the main story then it has an endless mode for a full random story each time with the cards you've unlocked from the story mode. it starts out easy and by the half way point gets to be kind of tough at times in the story mode, each story becomes longer and more difficult. runs great on LM 17.1 and Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 so far.

What is the performance like now? I played this several months ago and it really struggled to get about 20 FPS.

It uses the Unity engine, right? I'm curious to know what your system specs are if you're only getting 20 FPS. I'm asking as someone interested in getting the game. I haven't played it yet.

It's a really, really, really, really, really, good game. I played it several hours and it's actually one of my favorite games on steam right now.
I like the mixture between deck building game and roll playing game action.
And especially when you have not much time for gaming in your spare time, this one is for you.
It's like: login > draw a few cards > encounter > quit
Very good for casual gamers like me.

Yeah it's Unity; I'm on an i7 950 (pretty old now), 24GB of RAM and an nVidia 660GTX. I got much worse performance in this than other unity games though, Wasteland 2 and KSP being prime examples which run exceptionally well considering.

I bought this after writing this article and have been pretty happy with it thus far. Runs rather well on my 7870 with Mesa. I only get slight FPS dips when it's loading an area but the actual action is continuously smooth. I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the game runs since I've had mixed experiences with unity3d before. The only issue I've had with the game really is trying to remap keys with my gamepad. It's hard wired to expect an xbox 360 controller apparently and even when gamepads are off in the options it tries to behave like one (and thus clash with remapping). But that's minor and I'm happy to play with keyboard and mouse.

I'm getting on average 42 fps on my 750 ti with the highest settings (still lower than I would expect from this though). The cards are quite even in performance so you should be getting around the same.
Maybe try newer drivers? I've found updating drivers has made a big change in performance for a few games in the past.
Edit: Probably closer to 30 fps in combat.

Does turning down the settings increase performance? I know that sounds like an obvious question, but in some games, it has no noticeable effect.

Ta for that. Yeah, I always run bleeding edge (one of the reasons I run Arch), but there could well be a performance boost between the drivers then and now.

I just played it for an hour. Great game!
It does seem, however, like the game locks at 30 fps on some of the combat scenes, though not all of them. There is no vsync option or anything like that, so it's difficult to tell. I always get 60 fps on the card screens.

Same here pretty on quite similar specs ( i7 3770k, GTX 660 on Arch) getting some nasty fps drops (getting around 50 fps dropping to 30 while in combat) and some stutter (running windowed with graphics on "fantastic" and ssao on) my problem is that it takes ages to start up on my machine with the loading-indicator in the corner stopping and the window not reacting for a good minute before the game starts.

This game is awesome, runs perfectly - replaced windows with mint now, due to all the great Steam Linux releases, including The Witcher 3
Tested on Linux mint 17.1 with Amd r9 290x and proprietary drivers Omega (14.12)

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
