Have You Played… Dicey Dungeons?Critical success!

Critical success!

Lately, whenever I’ve had a spare couple of minutes, it’s become a habit to fire upDicey Dungeons. It’s an RPG that is played over the course of many,manyruns. I’ve succeeded rarely and failed often, yet somehow I’ve come back for more. Lady Luck has enticed me with her lethal game show of dice rolling.

I had it on my Steam wishlist thanks to the always missed Brendan andhis excellent reviewback in the summer of last year. It was always my intention to buy it when things quietened down, but just before Christmas, it was taken out of my hands when a friend gifted it to me. I’m very thankful that they did, ‘cos I haven’t been able to keep myself away from it since

Dicey Dungeonslets you take on therollof six unlockable dice with different unique abilities of a dungeon crawling adventure flavour. These range from the mundane but useful Warrior re-roll ability, to the infuriating Inventor ability to scrap an item after every fight. A successful run is based a little bit on luck. Well, actually there’s a lot of luck involved, but you can mitigate your dice rolls with equipment found in shops or in treasure chests as you explore the dungeon. Brendan said it’s a bit likeSlay The Spire, but for dice rolling games.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I do hear Lady Luck calling to me again. She says the next run will be a good one.
