Dice With Death

Good roguelite with petty good progression. You have four classes that play differently and a lot of item to unlock. Items are easy to understand and its easy to grasp the many strategies to win the game. I feel like this is a shorter game with less scope than the likes of balatro and slay the spire. Worth the price, really fun.

I really loved this game at first, but I realized this game doesn't have much content. In addition, the rng feels way off for the "pinnacle" levels. It doesn't quite live up to the roguelike deckbuilder greats like Balatro

https://youtu.be/E9rBCVvHkAA Based around the 'push your luck' premise that is never mechanically viable. Gameplay stalls out very quickly.

It's exactly what's on the tin: A dice rolling game with death. The concept is fun but unfortunately getting through 7 rounds per match can take a bit. The settings menu is poorly optimized as well, at times they'd reset mid-match and I'd be jumpscared by the sudden volume increase as for some reason the game is quite loud by default, Death's text noise especially so. The gameplay itself is pretty simple though I wish it was explained somewhat visually rather than through dialogue. The first 6 rounds were also incredibly easy but the difficulty shot up on round 7 as I was suddenly taking 200+ damage, but its entirely possible I might just be bad at the game lol... If you like what you see on the store page and don't mind anything I've mentioned then by all means buy the game. I just don't really see myself recommending this game to anyone I know, especially if it remains unpolished like this.

Core game loop is fun, but held back by bugs. Ended up refunding the game, but would be willing to pick it up again later if the bugs get ironed out.

Sadly, not worth it. The premise is neat for a dice game but the interface is in no way intuitive (and the in-game explanation is about trinkets only, not strategies, so you just have to lose a lot to get the hang of it). The path is singular; the opening menu says "choose" but you don't get to choose anything about your character until you beat several levels, so you're going to be hanging out as the soldier for a while. The artistry is good but the game itself is too much sleuthing for me. Death can keep the dice, I'm uniterested.

My first Dicebuilding roguelike game and it is great! Love the music and the art. The dialogues are nice and Death is a good bloke. For the price I would have liked a little more content and variety but you'll probably get a good 5-10h of fun out of it. Maybe more seeing some of the reviews (especially if you're an achievment hunter).

As with most roguelikes, starts off really strong until there's content to unlock. Then just gets harder without any new content. On the last level the opponent just 1 shots you when their turn comes. No way to influence it, unless you can 1 shot him on the first turn.
