Lost in Random™

5/5

Pos está guapo. Los combates se hacen bastante tediosos por cómo se juegan y por la cantidad tan alta que hay. Pero la historia y la ambientación están muy chulas aún no ser un triple A. Muy recomendable si lo consigues por < 5 €

A mixed review combining my hatred of the mundanely repetitive combat mechanic with the novelty of an Alice in Wonderland experience. You're on a LOTR scale adventure to kill the big evil villain and meet lots of helpful characters along the way. The story telling is engaging and amazing. I got sick of the battle mechanics by mid-game and found it so frustratingly clunky i wanted to quit. To win battles: 1) farm crystals by attacking enemies, but they get no HP damage! 2) with enough crystals you get to roll your dice 3) when you roll the dice the world is paused and you can move around and position your next attack 4) the value of your roll determines how many cards you get to use 5) wait till you get a weapon card which lets you hurt enemies 6) kill all enemies, or advance your playing piece to the goal based on your dice roll Modifier cards provide melee attacks, ranged attacks, set traps, shields, health, card bonus (extra points or reduced cost to use), etc. Build your card deck by collecting coins through each world in side quests, hitting jars with coins, and sending your dice into holes. TIP - Select your 15 card battle deck before entering a battle. Duplicates mean a higher chance of stacking some effects. Later in the game, the card vendor appearing is a sign a battle is next. PROS * Excellent voice overs and story telling. The only reason i finished the game was the random funny comments. * Excellent character design and art. Everything looks beautiful. * Music is perfect. * Death results in automatically restarting the battle. CONS * I hated the battle mechanics, battles are rather hard compared to the exploration part, and you need to master your deck and find combos that work for you. I switched it to easy difficulty so i could enjoy the story. * Way finding is confusing on purpose as part of the "lost" experience. That annoyed me. The game is like a confined maze for console. The map is almost useless because you don't know where you're facing and it's purposely twisty and turning. * Cannot revisit previous levels, console-like autosave means you will miss things and can't go back to collect them. Overall i didn't like it, but i need to acknowledge the creativity and art design of the devs. For that i give it a thumbs up.
