[/quote] [b]Video Review TBD[/b] https://youtu.be/ktUAzq81d8k [h2]I Don't Agree With a Lot[/h2] For a game called Luck and Loot, there isn’t much of either. The loot consists of dice faces you can add to your dice to create a deck of dice. You might call that luck, but it’s not really. Each encounter gives you a bunch of rerolls, letting you build dice with a 50–75% chance of landing the face you want. I built a dice that would always land on a critical, and that critical was an arena-wide slash. It made the entire run trivial. After trying other classes, nothing came close to the power of that one-shot build, so I quickly lost interest. Each stage is set in a biome and filled with similar enemies. By Stage 3 or 4, difficulty spikes sharply, but it’s not something you can patiently work around. That’s why the massive AoE slash became essential. Every time I reached this point, I lost interest. The game isn’t about RNG or luck in a meaningful way, and there’s no real system to build up your hero. I expected gear drops to deck out my character, different swords, staffs, bows, helmets, kind of like Loot Hero or something like that, but instead you get relics that grant passives or bonus effects. It’s underwhelming. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] I wanted more gamble elements, more RNG, more variety and replay value. Instead, I found myself forced into repeating the same builds every run to succeed. That’s not what I want from a game called Luck and Loot.

I find this very boring when compared with the excellent [b]Slice & Dice[/b] and it's hard not to draw comparisons. Meh.

I played around three or four runs, and I lost every single one. I couldn't win even one run. I only managed to get my character to around level 3. I think the main problem here is that the game is a roguelike rather than a roguelite. In other words, your character doesn't permanently get stronger after you die. Yes, you unlock new items and other things, but game depends on how well you play and how lucky you are. Simply playing more doesn't make you stronger. For example, I get poisoned, I get bleed, and I need a way to deal with these effects. I need to heal, but there isn't really a reliable way to do that. Let's say I lose ten times with the same character. I'm a bad player. I'm not someone who is extremely strategic or particularly good at tactical decision making. So what happens then? Am I just not supposed to play this game? The idea is genuinely great and the game is fun. But should a game like this really only be playable by people who are good at this level of strategy? I also don't want to start every run with the exact same character and the exact same items. Because I've leveled up, I can choose another option, but that option is harder and requires a more complex playstyle. Instead, what if we were given 8-9 random dice faces at the start? For example, 4 attack, 4 defense, and 2 special ones. That could make each run feel a little more different from the beginning. And I can't even properly fill my dice with abilities. Why? Because the dice have energy limits, and increasing that energy requires me to sacrifice two abilities. Those abilities aren't easy to find either. Even if I find them and sacrifice them, the dice don't gain that much extra energy, so my dice still end up with empty faces. In short, the difficulty is extremely high in my opinion. I really think the game needs a more accessible version. For example, instead of calling it “Easy Mode,” you could add something like a “Normal Mode.” The current version of the game is already very difficult, so this new mode could actually feel like the normal experience. For example, in Normal Mode, the dice could start with 25 or 26 energy instead of the current 20, they could have a higher amount in Normal Mode. Likewise, players could receive more loot after each fight: more gold, more abilities, and even more relics. The difficulty of this game is genuinely very high. And don't get me wrong, it's not because I don't like the game. I was actually having a lot of fun with it. My first run was by far the one where I survived the longest. After that, I started dying much faster in every run. And it's not like I was being reckless or making stupid moves because I got overconfident. Quite the opposite even when I tried to play more carefully, I die I really like the core idea and gameplay. I just think the player needs a little more room to breathe, recover, and actually get back into the run.

Solid dicebuilder.

Yanda filmimi, dizimi izleyimciler için iyi bir seçenek olabilir. 3. kahraman özelinde artık rogue-lite temelindeki tekrar mekaniği eşya çeşitliliği ile çıkmaza girerek 15. saat sınırlarında doyurdu. Demosunu 7,6 saat oynamıştım. Son dönemde bu tip oyunların demo dengelerini çok başarılı buluyorum. [spoiler]2026 ilkbahar indirimlerinde; kitchen wars - luck & loot paketi ile ek %25 indirimli satın aldım. (kitchen wars adlı oyunu bir dönem sınırlı süreliğine ücretsiz yapmışlardı) -50% + -25% = 3,37 -> 2,24 -> $1,68 ödedim. [/spoiler]

Du tour par tour avec des dés fun, pixellisés et suffisamment addictif pour se faire plusieurs parties à la suite.

Hadn't Realised this wasn't popular tbh, def worth 4-5 euros on sale, kept my attention enjoyably for my 1 euro an hour rule

✔ simple, although effective dice gameplay ? punished for playing slowly/methodically (not just the standard 'less runs per hour', but also making each combat progressively more difficult as it goes on) ✘ useless rewind button, which doesn't help when you mistakenly used an ability instead of re-rolling ✘ unlocks per character (your first 1-2 runs with any new character are significantly weakened) ✘ RNG-heavy It lacks long-term depth and the unlock system is annoyingly slow, hurting replayability. But overall I had fun for it for a few runs.

Brilliant. This and "he is coming" are the only roguelikes ive really enjoyed in the past year or so. This game will be very popular when ppl catch on
