DICEY DUNGEONS OST ROLL UPGRADE

You can move about engaging baddies in battle, venture out on enemy-filled split paths to chests or anvils offering the ability to upgrade your equipment but your end goal will always be to reach the steps leading down to the next level. There’s a surprising amount of variety to what you’re able to do in battle and it’s all the more impressive when you consider the fact everything is revolving around simple dice rolls.Įach floor of a six-level dungeon you face offers some flexibility with its simple map system. Actions meanwhile can even afflict statuses on enemies such as poison and fire (the latter of which will set one of the opponent’s die on fire and then requiring two points of damage in order to extinguish). The effects of these cards can be everything from simple attacks, to damage reducing blocks to chances at re-rolling your dice. Some more powerful cards may even require a much larger number that can be chipped away at with multiple die. Of course, you’ll need to meet certain requirements in order to use said cards whether that’s an even number, odd number or a number above or below a certain amount. Your cubed hero chosen, it’s then off to battle.Ĭombat is turn-based, each round seeing you roll a number of die and sliding them onto equipment cards in order to perform offensive and defensive manoeuvres against an enemy trying to do the exact same thing. Of course, earning this reward isn’t going to be easy with the odds tipped against your favour and six enemy-filled floors standing in your way… also did I mention you’re a dice? You heard right, each of the six different contestants you’ll gradually unlock take on the form of six-sided dice. Things are presented as a game show of sorts with contestants competing for the chance at a spin of the wheel to win their heart’s desire.

Whereas other devious adventures have taken on the form of hack and slashers ( Hades as a more recent example), relied on your ability to manage the crew of a space ship (FTL: Faster Than Light) or even move and attack to the beat of music (Crypt of the Necrodancer), Dicey Dungeons marks the first where – at least as far as I’m aware – your fates are left largely in the hands of dice. Just when I start to think I’ve had my fill of the roguelike genre, a game like Dicey Dungeons comes along and pulls me back in.
