description
Manipulate fate, build powerful synergies, and break the slot machine in this roguelike deckbuilder.
Inspired by Luck be a Landlord, Fate Architect takes the "slot machine roguelike" formula and adds a deep layer of tactical control. Instead of just relying on luck, you take the role of an architect of destiny, carefully choosing symbols and items to create game-breaking combos that will help you pay your ever-increasing rent—or face the consequences.
Build Your Strategy: Choose from dozens of unique symbols, each with its own synergies and hidden interactions.
Manipulate the Odds: Use powerful items and fate-altering mechanics to tip the scales in your favor.
High Stakes: Every spin counts. Can you outsmart the machine?

width: 90%;)"you take the role of an architect of destiny, carefully choosing symbols and items to create game-breaking combos that will help you pay your ever-increasing rent" - So, there's no story at all. The score isn't even contextualised as rent, they're just points.
"Choose from dozens of unique symbols, each with its own synergies and hidden interactions" - Yes, there are unique symbols, but there's no indication of "hidden" interactions, only the ones the game tells you about. If there are "hidden" ones as well, I didn't notice any in my run.
"Use powerful items and fate-altering mechanics to tip the scales in your favor." - There are no consumable items as you don't "use" the talismans, they activate themselves. Arguably, they don't actually interact with the RNG in the game, either. (i.e. making symbols more/less likely to appear)
"High Stakes: Every spin counts. Can you outsmart the machine?" - Not really, I got the hyper lever as my second talisman and steamrolled the game from there without paying much attention to what was happening. And again, there's no story, so there are no stakes.
This game looks and feels like it was put together in a few weeks. The UI is very basic, the icons and music were just slapped together from freely-available packs, no onboarding, no context for anything, the only level on offer is mind-numbingly easy, no indication of the sort of progression in the game, and the description is obviously AI-written (not to mention the typos in-game). No soul at all, just a quick cash grab attempt.
It's also not an incremental game, which is fine, but in combination with above makes me wonder how this got past oversight. The fact main menu buttons are misspelt should tell you the level of care put into the game.

wishlist is spelt incorrectly on the button (as "whishlist")
an endless mode would be nice part of the fun of roguelikes is seeing how far your crazy build can go beyond the main game
the genai on the difficulty cards just seems kinda unnecessary
overall was a fun experience
Put in a tutorial and maybe require some of the symbols to be unlocked before being able to use them rather than throwing a large amount of them at the player to start?
