    No chapter select and you can backtrack every CHAPTER except the last. MAKING YOU DO ANOTHER PLAYTROUGH FROM ONE OF THE SLOWEST GAMES EVER. BORING ASF

    The randomness in the boss fights in conjunction with the fact that this randomness can make them a half hour long, or longer, makes this game incredibly frustrating. I have to do a half hour fight over again because of....the dice rolling wrong over and over and over? This is bad game design. Im just jaw agape at the screen on the baroness fight, rolling "wall" over, and over.

    No chapter select after finishing the game
    No backtracking
    No multiple save files Half the trophies can be missed Combat is bad, like expected in a game made by a highschool student, not even indie game level Dialog can be skipped but the audio still plays Had 1 random crash Art direction serves as a cover up to bad graphics most of the time. You can clip into most walls and objects,    No chapter select after finishing the game

    Art direction serves as a cover up to bad graphics most of the time. You can clip into most walls and objects, player camera gets often obscured during game play.
    Traversal is slow and very limited, sprinting doesn't really feel any faster than walking but it does cripple how fast you can turn

    I wouldn't recommend it to any gamer friends, maybe to someone i hate    … Expand

    Lost In Random’s unique and compelling qualities go deeper than the wonderful art design. Trust us, roll the dice on a purchase, and you will not be disappointed. [Issue#7, p.84]

    Lost in Random is a magical experience in several areas. The story, presentation, and world are a joy to experience from start to finish, with a few minor exceptions. On the other hand, the combat is initially refreshing but is hindered by the length of encounters and a lack of depth in its mechanics, so later encounters feel like a frustrating chore. It's a fun action-adventure in short bursts, and Lost in Random deserves much more attention than it has received.

    The story grabs you immediately and maintains a steady drip-feeding of excitement throughout its playtime and the game is just overall a refined, lovingly crafted adventure that will appeal to even those who are generally turned off by “card battle” games, as the content and gameplay here goes much deeper than that.
