    I had my doubts going into Dicey Dungeons, despite the pedigree present. I was worried the core reliance on random dice rolls would create a frustrating experience for the player. And while I've had those moments, I always felt that I could look back and say "that's where I went wrong" and not "the random numbers just didn't work out in my favor!" That alone is an incredibly feat. Stack it on top of six incredibly unique character mechanics, episodes that force the exploration of alternate playstyles, and an expertly crafted aesthetic, and you have another absolute slam dunk from Terry Cavanagh.

    Dicey Dungeons is a smart little game you can play whenever you want, just 20 min in between other activities… until you realize you’ve been playing it for hours.

    Dicey Dungeons is a brilliant rouge-like deck-building game full of humour, hard-as-nails gameplay and plenty of replayability. The six playable characters are so different from one another that players are sure to find one that fits how they wish to play the game. Whether you want to be an aggressive warrior or a sneaky thief, there’s something for everyone.

    Under its goofy premise, Terry Cavanagh's new production is a very well designed title. Really strategic and offering a huge display of combinations, Dicey Dungeons can also be a little frustrating as we can win or lose on a roll of a dice.

    Dicey Dungeons certainly offers a unique experience to turn-based, deck-building titles. Unfortunately, the inclusion of dice can both excite and frustrate, as no amount of planning can prepare one for each contingency one might encounter or a poor run of luck. The unique playstyles keep the game fresh, the sheer quantity of items one might accrue add to the customization. If I've got the itch to throw dice, I can see myself dusting off Dicey Dungeons before anything else, but I think my luck's run dry for the time being.

    The charming dungeon crawler builds itself around the chaos of dice. Choose one of six characters, each with their own unique skills and way utilize your rolls of the six-sided die. Combat is rather fun, the artwork feels like a pop-up book, and the electronic soundtrack will have you tapping your foot. Despite the characters and additional modes though, it doesn't feel like Dicey Dungeons expands upon its early hours of play enough. Still, it's an enjoyable roguelite dungeon crawler.

I like the fact that it turns an abstract dicing game concept into... just dices and fighting in a dungeon. It's super smart! The game features many unique characters / enemies which contains tons of unique mechanics. It's very deep and you will enjoy it!
    The only issue of the game is not being engineered very well (a typical one man indie game problem) -- it contains many bugs, performance issues, and of course, balancing issues. Well I guess you can always wait them to patch it.    … Expand

    Dicey Dungeons, a deckbuilder and kind a roguelike game.

    I like the game's idea. It's pretty rare and well done for a one man studio.    Dicey Dungeons, a deckbuilder and kind a roguelike game.

    I like the game's idea. It's pretty rare and well done for a one man studio. You'll play five different class of dice and trying to escape the dungeon.

    The main difficult is combined correct items and manage your deck well. Once you gather correct cards (items) around, the rest is comes.

    Although game design is enjoyable, The game turns into a boring game with long game time, too simple art design, lack of animations, bad color shame etc..

    Despite game has too many lacking part, i think still deserves to play few hours.    … Expand
