DICETINY: The Lord of the Dice

Please don't purchase this game in the state it's in. At least until they patch the constant fatal errors. Good game, sadly it's unplayable.

Since there's only a yes or no vote for games and no "meh" then I have to give the game a thumbs down and here's why. The game looks fantastic, and the mechanics are wonderful, but playing against the AI gets really old really fast. Playing a board game by yourself just isn't very fun at all, and I can't recommend this game to anyone who doesn't love solitaire games. If you love solitaire games, then you'll likely enjoy this game very much.

The game has a lot of humour in it, and this will either be funny or just there to groan at, depending the player. There is an ok built-in tutorial, it is not really necessary because the game is very easy to learn. You have a worldmap where you have to battle against different enemies. You can unlock different playable heroes. On the worldmap you can go to camp mode. Here you modify your deck of cards and you can buy new cards from the shop. You need gems to buy cards. You will earn gems by beating enemies in the game. Each battle has its own board. You battle against one enemy at a time. At the beginning of the game both you and your enemy get 3 cards. Also you have to select 1 out of 3 bonus you want (+1 attack, +1 ability points, or + gold). Your attack means the amount of damage you will do. Abilities will cost ability points. Each turn you will gain 1 ability point. Gold is need to buy/draw new cards or to hire/bribe a minion on the map so you do not have to fight it. You can buy the new card at the beginning of the turn for gold. You cannot have more than 5 cards at a time, otherwise you will need to discard any extras. If you have enough ability points, you can use as many cards as you wish during your turn. Some cards give you buffs, while others are minions you can place on the board. Some cards are spells/attacks, etc. You can also put one card in the card equipment slot it will cost less ap to use that card the next turn. The dice roll is to move your hero on the board/map. If you happen to encounter an enemy minion or your opponent, you will engage in a battle. The attacks reflect how much damage you will deliver to each other. If your health drops to zero, it’s game over. You win if your opponent’s health is wiped. If you pass the spelltower (the starting pint) you will get something extra. This is very much like the Monopoly board game where one corner is Go and you get money, and the other corner is jail. These boards also have that kind of configuration. Also on the board there are various locales like shops, traps, enemy minions (those have a red line) neutral minions, your minions (they have a green line). The graphics are very nice. I loved the artstyle. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to play a casual boardgame. It has a good price tag (it used to be more pricey, but the base price had been lowered). The game is really easy to learn and I have been enjoying myself playing this game.

fun game but it has some bad bugs. be warned. (read the bottom to see my issues and maybe a fix). the game itself is good but it has to many bugs for me to recomend it. this game is like monopoly but instead of buying property your spawning and level minions as you try to attack your opponent. it's a fun game but need some major bug fixes. 11/2/2018 the game crashed after i beat level 5 when i tried to collect the chest. i was using the main character as a rogue. i did end up beating it but only after i used one of the secondary characters to beat the level. i saw others have issues with other classes so maybe beating it this way may help. fyi: to change characters: camp (main map bottom center button "camping") and when camping see the 3 circles in the bottom center of the screen. next to these is a "party setup" button, click this and here you can add, remove, and change formation. the lead character is the one that will go into levels. i'm leaving this a negative do to the bugs but i do like the game if you can get past them. it is cheap so i do feel it's worth it but just know there are known issues. if this had multi player i would definitely recommend this even with the bugs.

How to discribe this one... Monopoly meets an axe, and then some monsters, and then some hallucinagenics that alter its layout. It is a nice casual time waster that you can drop and revisit with relative ease. There are some in game requisites and certain tactics you need to play on occasion, but overall simple yet different. In essence it consists of tile hopping, and playing cards from your hand for added bonuses to defeat the opposing AI player. No player input combat action, so no button/key mashing, just for/against point outcomes with the afore mentioned cards assisting. Give it a run, you will be pleasantly surprised.

A fun game that will never be for sale ever again for mysterious reasons.

fatal error: the game ill rate it crash/10 currently absolutely unplayable game was in EA since october 2015 and if you read some negative reviews from back then you can see ppl moan about the fatal error already and THAT was just released out of EA including our beloved game shutdown error so the devs literally twiddeled their thumbs for a full year but oh wait... thats not completely true they spent time to double the price from 8€ to 15€ since so much hard work was put into the game over the previous 10 months now thats what i call audacity :p
