Dice Gambit

Amazing art style, very pleasant OST, decent gameplay loop although not without its flaws. Story so far feels explored just well enough for me to keep it in mind, though I would like some sort of dialogue log since its very easy to accidentally skip dialogue with the fast forward. Character designs are very great and the character customizer is very nice to play with. The nobles and their in-combat models are also very good. Performance is good too, haven't really found many game breaking bugs and the ones I did encounter weren't substantial. As for content and replayability, this is where the game falls kind of short, with how short the story of the game is and how little time there is in-between act concluding fights + the game not being too difficult, you end up getting through the game pretty quick , long before you come even remotely close to maxing out even one relationship with any of the nobles, let alone maxing out all of them. The gameplay variety is also lacking, while early on most fights are intriguing, in later acts you end up just playing the same maps with the same enemies from act 1 over and over, making it kind of repetitive. This is made even worse by there not being many classes worth playing or multiclassing into, additionally, all of the classes are unlocked only when reaching a certain level of relation with the nobles and once you beat the game and move onto new game+, despite ng+ allowing you to play with your old family, ng+ resets your relationship statuses with all nobles meaning youll almost never actually max them all out without doing seperate runs for each one. New game+ is also not really any more difficult than standard. All in all, the game is good enough to be fun, but it can get repetitive. I recommend finishing the demo and then deciding whether the gameplay is good enough to be worth sinking another 2 acts into, if so, the game is worth getting.
