10 Crazy Video Game Spin-Offs You Won't Believe Exist

8. Uncharted: Fight For Fortune

Uncharted: Fight For Fortune
Sony Interactive Entertainment

Uncharted is a blockbuster action-adventure franchise featuring exotic locations, supernatural beasties, guns, car chases, explosions and despicable villains. So, of course, the natural progression of its formula was a card game. Duh!

Uncharted: Fight For Fortune is exactly that, a turn-based strategy with a coating of Uncharted makeup. Developed by Bend Studio - the team behind Uncharted: Golden Abyss - tactics and careful thought are required to succeed in this corner of the Uncharted-verse, rather than the shooting and punching that's useful everywhere else.

You need to choose cards that you think will stand the best chance against the ones the AI has pitted against you (for example, if the enemy card has six attack points, you need to choose a card with a strong defence), and it's genuinely quite satisfying to create combos, power up your cards, and watch the enemy deck completely fall to pieces with a well-choreographed attack.

It's a real treat for Uncharted fans too, with characters, sound effects, locations, treasures and creatures from the original PS3 trilogy all being included in some way, but on the other hand, seeing all that stuff just reminds you that you're not playing one of the far more exciting mainline adventures.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
