Abandoned at the doorstep of the orphanage when she was just a baby, Jane had only a few clues to search for her father, a casino chip from The House of Azara, and a torn card.

Abandoned at the doorstep of the orphanage when she was just a baby, Jane had only a few clues to search for her father, a casino chip from The House of Azara, and a torn card. Strangely, the Azara casino has re-opened its doors for the first time in 25 years, and Jane knows this is the time to search for answers. The answers don't come easily, however, when Jane realizes she's just entered a life or death tournament. Will this bet pay off, or pay out?

This is a fantastic game with a really cool and somewhat original storyline, but it is similar to Deck of Fates. There is a gimmicky Casino Lens feature where you scan the room for unseeable objects the naked eye can't see. I could do without that feature, but it's not too intrusive, There's another gimmicky feature of Cards that somehow give you special powers such as strength. You get the cards from the poor unfortunate players that lost the game, and each card is related to their personality traits. Your sidekick is an adorable Corgi and I kinda liked him! There are 50 Hidden Joker's Scepters to find in this CE version, usually two per scene.

The Hidden Object Scenes are mostly Interactive List finds, but they are located in interesting places and the objects are well blended. There are also Keywords in sentence finds and technically the Casino Chip lens games are more of a HOP than a mini-game puzzle. There are no alternative games offered.

The Mini-Games are creative, unique, and most are downright fun, however, they are all gambling-related with cards, dice and casino chips, so if you don't like gambling, even virtually, you may want to pass on this game. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Slide cards to correct slots by dragging them along tracks.
2) Drag lines through matching symbols to remove all tiles.
3) Drag tokens to correct slots.
4) Use directional arrows to place all 4 tokens in the middle.
5) Scan room with Casino Chip to find symbols shown.
6) Rotate and place dominoes to match values on the board.
7) Adjust levers to complete the image.
8) Choose sturdy rope segments, niches & crystals to climb.
9) Choose any dice to fill 4 slots before your opponent.
10) Reach a score of 20 or higher to beat the dealer.

This Collector's Edition Version has 6 Wallpapers, 15 Concept Art pictures, 4 Screensavers, 6 Music Soundtracks, 35 Movie Cutscene Videos, 11 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 14 re-playable Mini-Games, 15 Achievements to earn, 50 Hidden Joker's Scepters, 3 Main Chapters + Bonus Chapter and a built-in Strategy Guide, enjoy!

I now approach every new game with some trepidation since almost all have rehashed stories. Available to us are a plethora of haunted houses, creaky mansions, cemetaries etc. that house demons, fairies, damsels in distress, etc. and almost always a female main character that must save if not the entire world as we know it but at least the day.
Much to my surprise Fatal Luck rises above the ordinary and succeeds somewhat in providing a much needed twist insofar as the story evolves.
The innovation is GAMBLING. There have been some other games where trying ones luck has some elements in them. I cannot recall any game where GAMBLING is the essential plot theme and it is indeed welcome as a novel plot.
We have dice games and cards during the demo and I am sure other games of chance are in the offing as Edge of Reality evolves.

The story offers nothing new in the fact that the main character is tasked with saving someone and I'm OK with that since the means to the end ( GAMBLING ) is new.
The HO segments are quite interactive and lots of to be found items are cleverly hidden. There is an interesting maze puzzle during the demo while other puzzles are of the ilk often seen in HOPA. There are jester scepters to collect and we do have an animal helper, a rather cute Corgi. I generally detest assistants in games but this pooch sort of grew on me.

I guess players with an aversion to gambling will shun Fatal Luck. Those of us who occasionally relish rolling "dem bones " or a seat at a card table or even just sitting at a one-armed bandit should find this game very interesting.

Kudos to 4 Friends for introducing originality in this game as we all know there is generally a dearth of so-called new games. A HEARTY recommendation to Fatal Luck. Show less

I recommend this game!

I Love this game. I really love the makers too. It's a story about Supernatural gambling with a father, daughter and their Corgi Dog. The Corgi dog named Clover helps with some out of the way places and is loveable and quiet.

I was very pleased with the Hops. 20 in the game. 14 in the main game and 6 in the bonus chapter. They had some repeats of the hops scenes in the bonus. I didn't mind. I thought they are well done.

You collect 50 Joker's Scepters. If you collect all of them, you unlock a special bonus. I thought they were hard to find, but findable. Mostly 2 per scene in the main game and 1 per scene in the bonus chapter. I panicked at the end because I was so careful and checked often to make sure I got all of them. I had 49 out of 50. I went to the collectible tab in the bonus content and figured out the last one. I got my special bonus equaling 36. I don't want to spoil the surprise.

The bonus chapter continues the story where it left off. You will met Fortuna. I liked it and I didn't think it was short.

* I counted all the bonus content twice- You have 35 movies, 11 hops, 5 music, 14 mini-games, 4 screensavers, 6 wallpapers, 15 concept art. Achievements were very obtainable. 45 page guide, 3 chapters + bonus chapter.

Try it for yourself. Show less

I recommend this game!

ROLL THE DICE - ODDS ARE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF THE YEAR!

PostedApril 19, 2018

fromThis game has developed a “hunka, hunka” burning love for Vegas – Baby! “Going to the chapel” to look for a high-rolling Elvis to tour the strip; play the slots: dine at an all-you-can-eat buffet, and truly enjoy the “magic” of Vegas with Penn & Teller.

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME MINUS THE BONUS CHAPTER
3 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 45 Pages – Time: 4 Hours

OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND: Hello Sunshine! Get ready to participate in a winner-take-all tournament. Just remember to don your mask and cloak and follow all the rules! Failure to do so will result in your “final” elimination! Nevertheless, winning will result in the fulfillment of your fondest wish. However, by the end of this game, your fondest wish may be to never see a casino again! Return to the 1920’s. As an infant you were left at an orphanage with a torn picture, a poker chip and a burned card with the word “Azara.” Now, searching for clues concerning your parents, find yourself in this tournament at the newly constructed Azara hotel. You will compete against six (6) fellow competitors. Hopefully you will learn something about your parentage and hopefully, you will survive this tournament!

OPINION: I LOVE this game, although it is short with a part-time helper. I purchased it immediately. In my opinion, 4 Friends is upping the quality of their games. This game should appeal to those who love casino-style games (which constitute most of the puzzles) and those who love mysteries. The graphics are full of bright lights – displaying a colorful casino-style environment. Think – Vegas, baby! The game is well-constructed with most of the activities related to gambling. The pace is excellent with many of the puzzles based on casino games.

MECHANICS: You collect fifty (50) jokers which, when you have collected enough of them, add a player to a card game. There is a sidebar which indicates if there is a joker within the scene. I found most of the jokers easy to locate. You will also be collecting six cards which give you powers you can use throughout the game – strength, sensing gold, mechanical strength, illusion shattering, impersonation, and a joker. There are fifteen (15) achievements you can earn along with seven (7) wallpapers, concept art, and music. You can replay eleven (11) HOP scenes and fourteen (14) mini-games.

CLOVER THE RUNAWAY HELPER: You will have a part-time helper in this game, a small, doe-eyed dog. This little pooch will help you and then disappear only to reappear again in the game. He is not used often in the game and he “helps” you quickly. Although I hate helpers, he was tolerable within this game. He does not sit at the side of the inventory bar no does he bark.

BONUS CHAPTER: It is a sequel to the game. In this chapter you will need to save someone dear to you. To state more would give away too much about this game. It is a continuation of this game. I feel you would need to purchase the CE version or you could be left hanging if you purchase the SE. I did not complete the bonus chapter; however, it appears to be of decent length.

HOP SCENES: There are fourteen (14) within the main game. They are thematic; however, most are straight lists of items. Only the first scene displays any creativity. There is one scene repeated within this game. The HOP scenes are my biggest disappointment. With this theme, I feel more could have been done with the scenes. They are not considered HOP scenes; however, there are scenes in which you must use a magic lens to locate hidden objects within a scene.

PUZZLES: I LOVE the puzzles in this game. In the main game there are twenty (20) puzzles. All the creativity within this game lies with the puzzles. The puzzles fit nicely with the casino theme of the game. They vary in style and difficulty. There are a couple of difficult puzzles within this game. Play puzzles which deal with cards, dice, slot machines, and dominoes. They are well-crafted games and in many you will have to beat the computer. I purchased this game for the puzzles and want to replay some of these. Just exquisite!

SPOILER: HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Connection puzzle. Connect lines between cards so that the lines emanating from the card matches that on the card.
B. Tangram puzzle. Place pieces into position to create an image. Place the pieces so there are no spaces within the grid to create this image.
C. Mathematical puzzle. Arrange billiard balls within two circles so that the total of any two of the balls equals one centered between the two. Difficult. You can switch out the numbered five extra balls.
D. Blackjack! Place cards faceup and try to get 21 to remove the cards. You must find this combination six (6) times in the scene.
E. Cube puzzle. Pull on arrows on a cube with colored pegs extending from them. Pull on the arrows until all the pegs match up with the background. Difficult.
F. Hit the jackpot! Slot machine. Move the handle and try to get the same token across the screen. You can hold symbols for one turn of the slots.
G. Assembly puzzle. Swap the corners of torn cards to create complete the cards. Cards are face down. Cards rotate as you try to restore them. Somewhat difficult. Show less

I recommend this game!
