Dice of Fate 2

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Dice of Fate 2 is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Bell Studio/Bell Studio, took a template from Unity, slapped a couple of asset flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam. Bell Studio/Bell Studio has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off Unity templates and dumping them on Steam. Don't believe me? Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4309870]Dice of Fate[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4244780]Goblin Dish[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3022750]Rune Stones[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2861750]Forest Keeper 2[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2807320]Forest Keeper[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1776900]Sunny Beach[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1925730]Block Breaker[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1570740]Sacred Cubes[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599520]Sacred Cubes 2[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1988440]Block Breaker 2[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1752190]Cubicus[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1754350]Cubicus 2[/url]" [/list] Look for yourself... these are all exactly the same game! All based on a basic "dropping block" physics game blueprint and populated with assets the Russian developer stole from Kubikos and Piloto. This unethical behaviour should be no surprise, as Bell Studio/Bell Studio are known asset flippers who've previously taken the work of real developers, changed the name and put their own name on it, so they can sell it on Steam and try to scam gamers and get paid for someone else's work.

Here's some: [list] [*] Bell Studio [*] BHPG [*] Daniel Li [*] Enoops [*] FadyGames [*] Hardi [*] Infinity Code [*] Johan Games [*] Joi Max [*] Jony Dev [*] Lieb [*] LocalJamStudio [*] Louie Inc [*] Mikki-Boi [*] Nikita Morti [*] TNT Studio [/list] And we're sure he'll keep adding more shell accounts to continue to run these fake game scams. The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Dice of Fate 2" is just a basic Unity game template for mobile phones where you tap on the asset flipped blocks the Russian developer plagiarised, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have. They make it harder for gamers to find genuine games made by honest developers. To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap DailyIndieGame shovelware bundles very shortly after launch. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Bell Studio/Bell Studio. Because this is just a fake game/cash grab scam, and due to the sheer unethical nature of the developer, you should avoid this completely. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 130 million gamers on Steam and well over 140,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. There's enough defects and quality problems with this game that it's really impossible to recommend to gamers. Because this is just a fake game/cash grab scam, and due to the sheer unethical nature of the developer, you should avoid this completely. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Bell Studio. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

Dice of Fate 2 is a puzzle-focused adventure developed and published by Bell Studio that embraces logic, observation, and problem-solving over action-oriented gameplay. Set within a mysterious ancient sanctuary, the game places players in the role of a captive seeking freedom through a series of magical challenges centered on enchanted dice and cryptic runes. The premise is simple, but it provides an effective framework for a journey built around uncovering hidden numerical relationships and deciphering the secrets that keep the sanctuary locked. The core gameplay revolves around solving puzzles that require players to analyze symbols, understand patterns, and determine how different dice values interact with magical mechanisms. Rather than overwhelming players with complicated systems, the game focuses on a straightforward concept and gradually expands upon it through increasingly demanding challenges. This creates a satisfying learning curve where each puzzle feels like a natural extension of previous discoveries while still introducing new ideas that keep the experience engaging. One of the game's greatest strengths is its accessibility. The controls are intentionally simple, allowing players to devote their attention entirely to the puzzles themselves. This design choice makes Dice of Fate 2 approachable for casual players while still providing enough mental challenge for puzzle enthusiasts. The emphasis on logical deduction creates rewarding moments when a difficult solution finally clicks into place, giving players a genuine sense of accomplishment as they progress deeper into the sanctuary. The visual presentation complements the gameplay well. The colorful environments help bring life to the ancient setting, preventing the mysterious temple atmosphere from becoming visually repetitive. Magical effects, glowing runes, and detailed environmental elements reinforce the fantasy theme and contribute to a sense of wonder. Although the graphics are not designed to compete with large-budget productions, they effectively support the game's puzzle-solving focus and create an inviting world for exploration. Another noteworthy aspect is the inclusion of physics-based interactions within certain puzzles. These mechanics add variety beyond simple numerical calculations and encourage players to think about how objects behave within the environment. The combination of logic puzzles and physical manipulation helps diversify the gameplay loop, making each level feel distinct rather than relying solely on repeated variations of the same challenge. The game's structure is intentionally focused, which can be both a strength and a limitation. Players looking for deep storytelling, extensive character development, or large-scale exploration may find the narrative elements relatively light. The story primarily serves as motivation for solving puzzles and escaping the sanctuary rather than delivering a complex fantasy tale. However, for players who prefer gameplay-driven experiences, this streamlined approach ensures that the puzzles remain the central attraction. Replay value largely depends on an individual's enjoyment of puzzle-solving. The satisfaction comes from uncovering solutions and mastering the game's mechanics, making it particularly appealing to fans of brain teasers and logical challenges. Those who appreciate thoughtful puzzle design will likely enjoy the gradual increase in difficulty and the sense of progression that accompanies each solved mystery. Overall, Dice of Fate 2 succeeds by staying true to its concept. It delivers an engaging collection of logic-based challenges within a charming fantasy setting while avoiding unnecessary complexity. The game may not revolutionize the puzzle genre, but it provides a polished and enjoyable experience that rewards patience, observation, and critical thinking. Bell Studio has created a sequel that offers a pleasant balance of accessibility and challenge, making it a worthwhile choice for players seeking a relaxed yet mentally stimulating adventure. Rating: 6/10

Physics based + Logic Puzzle is an interesting mix for sure. It was fun :) Gameplay in the second half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx-afyo8xEY
