Two Die

This is such an awesome addicting and rewarding strategy game! It has good old school 8 bit graphics, similar to fire emblem with a dungeons and dragons feel at its core giving a more personal character experience. My favorite aspect of the game is once you clear a level you can either pick from three items that either give a stat bonus, new attacks, or fully heal. This gives you the ability to make very diverse character builds, while also adding an edge of difficulty since you cannot heal if you decide to improve your characters build after each level. Two Die rewards players that make calculated decisions to defeat each enemy without taking damage. This can be done with any class by either killing an enemy before it gets within range (Mage Class), increasing armor/using block skills (Warrior), or attacking and running out of range of an enemy (Rouge). I also like that once you clear the "last level" you continue through levels that get progressively harder without getting the ...

Charming sprite art and solid design. It's like the spacing of Fire Emblem mixed with the simple dice mechanics in Dicey Dungeons, but as you start collecting upgrades, the strategy goes deeper and deeper. Enemies also seem like they start to specialize, so on one run I'm carefully avoiding bats' range, but the next I'm more worried about how hard the stone heads hit. A definite recommendation.

A lovely hidden roguelite with a neat twist at more than affordable price point. You choose a character out of 3 standard classes (warrior, rogue and mage) and embark on a quest where all encounters will be played through dice rolls. Despite dice playing the part it's very controllable, because you can improve the odds to be more favorable through character upgrades, temporary boosts from special actions and perform multiple attacks per turn while engaging in and disengaging out of combat at any time, provided that you have enough movement points left. Positioning relative to enemies is very important. Progress is made through encounters, each a static screen filled with monsters you need to clear. Lean design may give an impression of a very simple game early on as reaching and beating the only boss at 10th encounter is fairly easy, but that's when things get serious. Until that point you can choose upgrades for your character, or healing, after each successful encounter. After that...

Pretty good! Really nice aesthetic to everything, and a fresh new take on roguelikes with the simplicity of everything being determined with 2d6. Criticisms: Controls are wonky and you can't rebind keys. Would be much easier and more comfortable to play if you could remap WASD or even use your mouse scroll wheel in the menus. Also, as you can imagine, there is a TREMENDOUS AMOUNT of RNG involved (seriously guys, so much RNG!), so you need to go into this game ready for some insane streaks of both good and bad luck. The game mechanics are basically ways to influence this RNG, but I think itemization could be more distinctive, and characters should start with more skills off the bat or at least you should be able to achieve this with some metaprogression. Or anything maybe to bring the RNG down a little bit and you can feel like your decisions really matter instead of just watching a series of random numbers pop onto the screen.

Very nice!

It's a neat game but it needs right-click to cancel selection. Hard to google for, I just get results for car crashes.

This is a simple game that works really well. Each run feels unique with the different upgrades, and it's an interesting challenge to try to avoid damage each level to focus on getting upgrades rather than regaining health. The music is amazing as well.
