Dicey Dungeons 2019

Is it still worth playing?

Terry Cavanagh's roguelike deck building game, released for Windows, macOS and Linux in August 2019 and later on consoles and mobile. On a game show backdrop, Lady Luck challenges adventurers who have been turned into dice to complete a dungeon. You take one of six characters, which sets your starting equipment, and move across a dungeon map with monsters, treasure chests, health items, shops and upgrade stations. Combat is turn based. On your turn you place each die into an equipment slot, and when all slots are filled it creates a combat effect, so a sword does the damage shown on the die. A run ends at the lowest level with a boss, and beating it unlocks more characters and new episodes with rulesets that make runs harder. Each attempt still has a goal, with a boss at the end of the run and new characters and harder episodes to unlock.
