Luck can inject a hint of randomness in any game design, and the right combo of elements can nudge players into play styles you’d be hard-pressed to create any other way. Let’s talk about the options at your disposal, from the simple to the subtle, and find out how you can put the FUN back in FortUNe.

Featuring:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Hades
Unicorn Overlord
Fire Emblem
Crisis Core

Mario Party
Disco Elysium
