    Threads is an amazingly bleak movie. It really feels true and raw.

    I think it is the best answer to the question among the movies mentioned that I saw. Many of them have other genre elements that are interesting but are modifying the message, while Thread only purpose is to depict the medical, economic, social and environmental consequences of nuclear war.

    I second Duck Game, Towerfall, Overcooked, Speedrunner and Monaco. They are all great but the first 2 are especially amazing.

    I will add

    • Crawl : A semi cooperative dungeon crawler where one player controls the dungeon. If a hero kills a monster, then its their turn to be the overlord.
    • Full Metal Furies : A top down action with many clever systems requiring constant cooperation
    • Hidden in Plain Sight : A set of games where you try to avoid drawing the attention of the others players to yourself. Really unique.
    • Helldivers : A difficult twin-stick shooter with friendly fire. A must if you love Starship Troopers.
    • Streets of Rogue : A kinda sandboxy roguelite ?
    • Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime : A spaceship game where each part of the ship need to be manned.
    • Tricky Towers : competitive tetris ?
    • Wand wars and Lethal League have a similar concept. You fight with a ball that keep going faster with every hit.
    • Fantasy Strike : A fighting game without the hard inputs but with all the interesting concepts. Zoning, predicting, mind games, ...

    I heard positive feedback from the few people I know enrolled in Let's Role's alpha. It seems easy to use.

    But the game really feels like a dense version of Heroes of Might and Magic like someone said earlier, it's something to keep in mind if you really want the Hand of Fate experience.

    You may be the first person I've heard recommending (indirectly) or at least not strongly discouraging Mage Knight with more than 2 players. I'm almost jealous of your group.
    Are you all experienced gamers ?

    Anyway, I strongly advise anyone interested in Mage Knight to play a solo game first.

    Disclaimer : Unless mentioned otherwise, I haven't played those games. I just spend too much time reading about games.

    Did you know there was a boardgame adaptation : Hand of Fate : Ordeals ?

    I second the recommendation of Mage Knight. It has the best "go on an epic adventure" feel of any game I've played. It's not really HoF, but neither is Talisman so it may still work.

    Runebound is another "go on adventures" games that's less daunting than Mage Knight.

    Pathfinder : Adventure Card Game. I disliked the first edition, but apparently the second is improved.

    Heroes of Terrinoth (or the older Warhammer Quest) should fit the bill.

    I really enjoy playing Aeon's End and would say it's the best deckbuilder I know but there are less quests and exploration involved.

    I heard good things of Thunderstone Quest but don't know how it fits.

    Arkham Horror : The Card Game is not fantasy, costs a lot and is more narrative than many of the others games I cited but it's a great game that I love.

    Seeing how you describe what you like in RoR in a comment below, I think you may like New Angeles.

    You are a member of a comity of megacorporation ruling over New Angeles. The city has a special status giving them free rein as long as the needs of the city are fulfilled. Otherwise, the government might end its experiment, and you don't want to give back your powers. You want the city to be happy, but you NEED to have economic supremacy over one of your rivals. Unless you actually want the federal government to get involved, or your situation is so catastrophic that you threaten the entire board to plunge the city into chaos if they don't bail you out !
