The gameplay of this early access roguelike dice builder is praised for its innovative mechanics and engaging core loop, blending traditional deck-building elements with dice mechanics that offer depth and strategy. While the game features enjoyable interactions and a charming aesthetic, players note a need for better balance, clearer mechanics, and additional content to enhance replayability. Overall, it presents a fresh take on the genre, though some aspects still require refinement and tuning.
- “Overall quite fun little roguelite, I like the math mechanics and finding fun loadouts. Runs don't take super long and (mostly) reflect your decision making rather than feeling like luck.”
- “The gameplay is surprisingly fun; the interaction between the various dice and abilities is great.”
- “This game is spectacular! The gameplay is really fun and I'd say pretty balanced, with incredible art and for a price that can't be beat. I look forward to seeing what the devs have in store for future updates.”
- “The abyss dice mechanic on chapter 3 is rubbish.”
- “This game borrows a number of mechanics from other games (most prominently, Slay the Spire), but often in wrong ways and in bad places.”
- “But as of right now, I can't help but feel the game is too short, doesn't give you time or opportunities to focus on a build, and much of the difficulty is still very RNG dependent, with lots of mechanics that are not fun at all to play around.”
