I really liked this game.
Initially I heard about it back when it was just an idea, then when it was released, but I only started playing it during Spring 2024. And then took a couiple of very long breaks, occasionally revisiting this game. Only now I found the time to actually finish it. Good think by now I already completed about 80% of the game.

here’s what the game is about:
- six characters, each has six chapters + one final chapter + bonus episodes (3 chapters in halloween special and 6 in reunion)
- the game functions like a sort of card game, but you use your dice as mana
- every character has a set of rules-mechanics, unique to them (e.g. Witch has only four slots, but she can learn six spells and assign whatever to any slot at any time, Inventor can use new gadgets every turn, Robot has a limit on total sum of dice values, etc…)
- each episode has 6 levels in the dungeon, with the boss on the final level

The more appealing part starts when the mechanics change for every character. Or when you find out small funny details in interactions, like you can not only steal enemy equipment, but also use it to turn yourself into a giant cubic bear.

This sort of details makes the game really fun to play.

But if up until now it was a fun and solid game with a very thought through gameplay loop, beautiful visual style and great soundtrack from Chipzel, solid 8/10. I really enjoyed Robot, Thief and Jester runs especially.

But it’s Halloween Special and Reunion chapters that up everything to the next level.

In these bonus chapters the rules are completely changed or turn into something familiar, yet unexpected: Warrior gets permanent buffs from workout plans, Witch practically gets puzzle mode, Inventor gets unlimited cards, but each type of cards is limited to 3 uses. These bonus chapters were so much fun that the game is 9.5 out of 10 for me now.

And it also inspired me a lot.

You figure out what is going on a bit too quick, there isn't that much depth or actual variety with the builds, once you have your "winning strategy" it's just what you do all the time. Equipment slots too few to really experiment or create crazy strategies, and that really hurts the game. In other roguelike games that don't have that much build variety, there is at least the enjoyment of the moment to moment combat to keep you entertained. By being based around dice this game does not have that (at least for me) you roll, see what you get, and then do the optimal thing, almost no real decision making. Making a slog of a game. Not "bad" but definitely not as good as others will have you believe.

So far im enjoying it. will need to play further though.
