Dicey Bugs

I absolutely love this game. I got into it because it reminded me of Dicefolk (which I really enjoyed), but this one takes things to the next level. One of the biggest frustrations I had with games like this was getting wrecked by bad RNG and ending up with a party that just didn’t work. But here? The devs totally nailed it. You get full control from the start, capture the units you want, tweak your dice however you need, and the shop is always there to help you round out your build. It’s just so satisfying. Finding a build that completely steamrolls the competition is hilarious and super rewarding. The bugs are adorable, unlocking new starter dice keeps things fresh, and the pacing is spot-on for me, never too slow, never too chaotic. I’m hooked and can’t wait to unlock everything and try some even wilder builds. P.S. I’ve jumped into a few streams with Twitch integration and it’s an absolute blast. If you’re a streamer, please give it a shot with chat enabled. Your viewers will go nuts for it.

Yes, really nice game. Good game loop and choices. I love it!

This is a really fun game that scratches that "collect them all" itch. I 100% completed it and finished on Christmas too! The game didn't feel too long. Although after I had captured everything and had several runs completed in hard mode, the runs to finish my achievements did feel a little tedious toward the end but it wasn't that bad. The gameplay is fun overall. Some of the equipment you can get is basically automatic run-winners. (Sleeping opponents at end of turn and such.) I would definitely recommend this game! I really like the art style too.

A really great run-based creature collector! Each battle is a delightful puzzle to solve: considering the positioning of your teams, the available dice, and active abilities. It feels really awesome to progress, capture bugs, and deck out your team across each run.

So I don't normally play these types of games but I happened upon the demo a while ago and had a blast! Dicey Bugs is a roguelite with a very cute aesthetic where you control bugs on your team and the opponent's team. As someone who doesn't frequent this type of strategy game, it was very easy and fun to jump into and challenging enough to want another run immediately after finishing the previous. The mechanics are quite simple to understand at first, but it's surprising how deep the strategy can get. You are (usually) rewarded for experimenting with different bugs, their variants, equipment, and even items and changing up your dice rolls. Finding synergies that work for you and ways to make a team broken drives the next "One more run" feeling. The art and music are also quite nice! The designs are simple but have charm and the music is a good vibe. The boss music is my jam and hits just right when you're fighting a shiny Mantis! I definitely plan to 100% the game! Only-aphids run enjoyer! Highly recommend the game!

really enjoying this game. the battle mechanics are refreshing, creating unique strategy with teams is a lot of fun, and customization options all round i feel is perfect. if they happen to make a dicey bugs 2. more bugs is always a +. would be cool to see more gameplay options. maybe look into a vs option or extended runs or an endless mode that get progressively harder. a story mode could be fun as well. sky is the limit really. but overall ive been having a great time with this one. definitely worth the buy for some quick in and out fun to pass the time

I played this game's demo during one of our weekly Demo days on my stream and got instantly hooked! When you start the game, the music and sound is at a perfect volume! This is SOOO important. Too many demos/games start with ear killing music and I'm so grateful for any game that isn't crazy loud when you start it, especially as a headphone wearer. Character customization is great! It's basic and very cute! Game play is fun and like potato chips, addicting! You start battling your bugs and collecting them, and next thing you know, its tomorrow morning. There's fun achievements to get too and the art looks really good! You also get to learn a few fun facts about bugs which is super neat! 10/10 would recommend! ♥

This is some of the most fun I've had as a streamer with Twitch integration and viewers in chat. The game is a prime example of what a lot of developers should focus on: simple to learn and difficult to master. The various combinations between your bugs, items, and dice make for a ton of fun combinations. I encountered zero issues during my play-through (no crashes, stuttering, or anything of that sort) My only two critiques are to perhaps offer a limit per minute (or like 5 minutes) of redeemable interactions (things can get a little hectic depending on how active your chat is), and of course I'd love for a little bit more content. That all being said, the price, combined with the replay value (especially if you're a streamer) makes this a phenomenal purchase, and for those who love roguelites and creature collectors it's an absolutely great purchase. Also, check out the devs other game "Hex Island" as it's great in its own right, too!
