Dice & Dungeons

I think this game is a lot of fun so far and has a lot of potential. I absolutely think it's worth checking out. The dice system is interesting and allows for a lot of build freedom and customization. Fights can be challenging and the decisions you make about which dice to buy or burn seem to matter a lot to your character's strength and consistency. I'm going to keep playing this and I look forward to seeing where the game goes. I do think there are a few things that would make the game experience feel better and are standing in the way of it being a truly addictive little gem of a dungeon crawler. - Tool tips! It's not that hard to figure out what things do, but a hover-able tool tip over the icons would just make it that much simpler to really evaluate items in the shop, for example, or see what an enemy's dice can do, especially if you haven't seen a symbol before. - On that note, some way to look at your current equipment/dice bag while in the shop would be nice way to add more information for the player when deciding on what to buy. - A "map" or fight counter. At the moment, the card flipping for battles and encounters is totally fine, but IMO, even a simple counter that shows how many "flips" to a boss would be nice. It just didn't feel like I was progressing through the deck, and because the battles often happen one right after the other, I started to get some "fight fatigue" just waiting for a shop to happen. - The encounters themselves feel a LITTLE slow to me. It's not that bad, but maybe if the hero and enemy dice rolled simultaneously it would speed things up a little bit. It doesn't seem like it would affect the decision-making during turns and it would cut a fair amount of time off of each fight, which raises my willingness to do multiple runs in one sitting. - On that note, IMO I think it'd be a little easier visually if the dice rolled over the area where you first see them come out of the bag, rather than over the cards. Again, it's not that bad, but the top of the play screen is a little busier than the bottom, and it seems like it might be a "cleaner" spot to really assess your dice. It's a cool game though. I'm glad I picked it up!
