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.

I came into Dicey Dungeons with high hopes and I was thoroughly blown away.

The random nature of the skills you acquire helps, too: even if you’re playing the same chapter with the same character, the different abilities in hand will make each playthrough feel wildly different.
