Any time I bring up Dicey Dungeons, I cannot help but talk about just how much strategy this game can wring out of the chance roll of a six-sided die.
You’re battling against Lady Luck on a deadly game show for fame (but mostly fortune), and your only friends are the dice in your hands. Dicey Dungeons gives you so many options of what to do with those dice when they’ve been rolled, though, using high rolls, low ones, even numbers, odd ones, or specific rolls, all of which can be used for various types of attacks, status ailments, or healing tools as you explore lethal dungeons.
It’s not about looking for that high roll, but instead finding ways to wring as much damage out of whatever you roll. As such, it’s about building a suite of equipped tools and attacks to make the most out of various probabilities. You’re constantly gauging what you think the dice will do most, then creating an offensive build of moves that will make the most use out of them. It is something that will keep your brain firing hard every moment you play, making for some engaging, involved play that keeps dragging you back in, over and over again.
Combining this compelling play style with an adorable art style makes it easy to keep on playing. Fighting challenging enemies is fun and all, but when they’re as goofy and cute as the foes in Dicey Dungeons, you just want to see what sorts of sinister deserts, vile boybuilders, and dangerous bunnies you can battle. With the added bonus of various character types that add even more wild options to your die rolls and you can have a staggering amount of fun with a handful of dice.
Dicey Dungeons is available now on Itch.io and Steam.
