About This Game

This game is heavily RNG, its dice based after all, do not buy if you can't handle RNG.

TLDR; It's a Roguelike, get more dice, upgrade dice, get more items, upgrade items, get blessing, these you can't upgrade tho, kill monsters, 3 worlds.

In this exciting roguelike game, players must collect items, blessings, and dice to use as energy for powerful attacks on monsters as they journey through randomly generated worlds.

The battles are turn-based, with players able to choose their attacks on their turn and enemies attacking in sequence. Both players and enemies use dice as the cost for their abilities, and enemies may also have blessings that give them additional attacks or other benefits. If an enemy ability doesn't have sufficient dice to meet its requirements, it will miss. Enemy abilities will always use the highest valued dice available, unless it is beneficial to use a lower value dice for the attack.

Players have a variety of items to choose from, each with a limited number of uses indicated in the top right circle. These uses reset each turn unless the font is grayed and tilted. To use an item, players must select the dice they want to use as payment and then choose the item they want to use.

With over 100 items and 30 blessings to choose from, players have plenty of options for building the perfect character and strategy. As they progress through the game, they'll have the chance to collect new dice and upgrades to further enhance their abilities.

Players can choose their own path through the game world, using the map to decide which areas to explore next. Special map markers indicate areas where random events may occur, adding an element of surprise to the game. These events can provide helpful bonuses or unexpected challenges, and they offer an additional layer of depth to the gameplay.

But be prepared to face off against formidable bosses in each world, as only those who are able to defeat them will be able to move on to the next. Can you emerge victorious by defeating the final boss and claim your place as the ultimate champion?

You do not want this game. It was pretty fun until i reached the last map. Certain Mobs on the last map have a "reduce all damage to 1" blessing. It is so annoying to have your build/ deck reduced to a couple damage a turn. If it were 1 of these enemies i would say "Ok, I hate that enemy but I like most other things" BUT NOOOOO i have to fight 4 of these trash slow boring fights to get to the boss. I stopped mid run, the most anti fun idea in a game ever. Its not that you cant win. Its that it makes you not want to play.

Warning spoilers. I would recommend this game, in about 6 months. It has potential and it's fun, up until the last world. The last world is so horrendously boring and tedious it makes everything good about this game irrelevant. Not to mention the last boss is literally impossible to beat unless you have one specific blessing. I don't plan to play again until the last world is completely redone.

The game has a good core, but the balance is horrendous. World 1 is pretty easily one-shottable after a few matches, the frost world is drastically more difficult than the sand world, and the final world is impossible unless I'm missing something. Mechanics like "You don't get your first turn" and "All damage you deal is reduced to 1, also this monster will retaliate with insane amounts of Poison or Thorns damage" when there are no counter-plays to this is nonsense. Having a game that is heavily RNG reliant require what I suspect are very specific builds/items in order to win is not the way to go. The last world needs to be a test of the entire build, not "did you pick up the 1 item that counters this monster". Even if I did find whatever item helps here, there appear to be at least 3 run ending encounters that all have this similar dynamic, and the odds of you having the answer to all 3 if you get screwed on the encounter selection is pretty much 0. I will happily change this to pos...

I really enjoyed this game. It is a little lacking in variety of viable builds with how a lot of damage ignores block and some enemies are impossible if you run into them without certain blessings or equipment, so it can be pretty RNG dependent, but its in early access so I feel like it's pretty excusable for an indie game. Really looking forward to updates.

- EA that feels like EA -> this requires a lot of work to be an enjoyable game. The mechanics are there, but the experience is all over the place at this moment - Tedious, slow and slow paced fights Interest to see what this matures to if the dev. gives the game the love the mechanics deserve. Edit: this is clearly abandoned. Disappointment. I wouldn't recommend the game for myself. ............................................________........................ ....................................,.-‘”...................``~.,.................. .............................,.-”...................................“-.,............ .........................,/...............................................”:,........ .....................,?......................................................\,..... .................../...........................................................,}.... ................./......................................................,:`^`..}.... ................

It's a nice fun game that you can complete in one session. Various options make replay ability viable.

As an early access game, it is quite good. If you can swallow occasional inbalances, there is a nice core gameplay waiting for you. The developer is in contact with his community and game gives you a nice degree of replayability.
