    We have loved Dice Legacy for its original concept and for how it performed in game. We did not expect it to work so well, given the conditions, but we are happy to have been proven wrong.

    Overall, Dice Legacy is a fun stress machine that borrows the better parts of other genres. While it doesn’t always do everything well or necessarily telegraph its harder ideas ahead of time, it can be a tense thrill when you get further than you have before. Never before have dice been featured in a game where they’re the biggest thing that matters. If you like rolling dice then I compel you to check out this mash up. Just be ready for the challenge ahead of you.

    Dice Legacy is a competent strategy/survival game with some neat and well-implemented ideas; the random element is there, but generally easy to handle, and good planning trumps sheer luck. However, it isn’t particularly rich in content, and it might get grindy if you’re aiming for the hardest difficulties.

    Dice Legacy is a new, solid chapter in the history of survival RTS. It is very original and combines the gameplay of a city builder with the use of dices and a ring-world setting. If you are looking for an RTS with a good dose of challenge and mystery, this one is for you.

    Overall, Dice Legacy is enjoyable as long as you enjoy a challenge. It has an unusual mix of gameplay that sets it apart from other games of this type. While the dice and some of your decisions add a random element to the game, it feels like Dice Legacy does have an idea of how it wants you to play the game. You don’t necessarily have the freedom to try a variety of strategies, if you want to succeed, that is. Perhaps that’s what makes it more of a survival game and less of a strategy game.

    One of the most refreshing strategy / city builder simulators that have been released during the present year. [Recommended]

    I'm sure I could do things more efficiently. The forge in particular seems vital. This is a building that smushes two villagers together to create a special hybrid rollcube, potentially removing a lot of reroll inefficiency and condensing two roles. With certain limitations, you can even keep them for use in later playthroughs. Dice Legacy encourages experimentation, it says in its opening screen, and I appreciate a game suggesting an ethos like this upfront. But though after many failures and one victory I'm armed with more knowledge and several theories on how to play it better, the prospect of going through all this again is the kind of legacy that makes me glad I don't have kids.

    The initial impact can be aggressive especially with the mechanics of winter, but once you understand how the game works it is a lot of fun to manage the various situations that arise.

    I recommend starting with the normal or better yet peaceful mode to calmly understand everything.

    Para los que somos fans de los juegos de tablero, decir que Dice Legacy es un juego de asignación de trabajadores/dados más o menos resumePara los que somos fans de los juegos de tablero, decir que Dice Legacy es un juego de asignación de trabajadores/dados más o menos resume todo lo que es la experiencia de este juego. Aunque hay algunas cosas propias del entorno digital, como el impacto del tiempo (aunque, desde el ultimo parche, se puede jugar con pausa activa), la mayoría de lo que haces es ir construyendo cosas, e ir asignando los distintos dados a cada una de las tareas. El loop básico de juego es ese, mientras avanzamos terreno camino de derrotar a los Otros. No hay tal cosa como una campaña, solo diversos escenarios que cambian un poco las cosas, y las diferencias entre personajes es relativamente menor. El resultado es que lo que el juego ofrece lo puedes disfrutar, en buena medida, en una única partida, lo cual reduce el interés en rejugarlo. Con el roadmap anunciado y la última expansión gratuita está claro que son conscientes de este problema y están trabajando activamente en corregirlo y darle más opciones y más rejugabilidad.

    Gráficamente el juego es discreto, como lo es también su aspecto sonoro. Discreto tirando a pobre. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no me he encontrado con bugs de gravedad de ningun tipo, solo algunas cosas que eran poco legibles y que están trabajando en hacer más visibles.

    Por todo ello, no puedo decir que Dice Legacy sea un mal juego, pero tampoco es uno que os vaya probablemente a marcar. Un 6.    … Full Review »
