So I want to be clear:

I don't like the aesthetics or the style of this game. That itself was enough to kill my interest. I saw the game in my Steam queue and passed it up. I saw it going for a pittance in multiple bundles, and it was only when I saw it the third time that I decided to pick it up despite my misgivings. The only reason I played it at all was that I wanted something that looked lightweight and low investment that I could play to occupy time on a flight without feeling like I was ruining an experience I might have enjoyed more.

I preface with all of this, because while is true my expectations were very low, Dicey Dungeons didn't simply exceed them, but obliterated them. The mechanics in this game are so well thought-out it actually blows me away that it's possible to achieve this level of decision-making depth with a format that is essentially just rolling and assigning six-sided dice.

Every single turn is essentially a puzzle to be solved. While the first couple of classes can be quite simple in how to optimize your equipment and allocation, the last few are much more involved, and I found the game to be delightfully engaging. Just because the first two characters are simpler, though, doesn't mean they're not fun to play...it just means that turns go faster.

I highly recommend Dicey Dungeons to anyone who likes turn-based roguelikes and either likes or can disregard the aesthetic. There is an extremely solid, mechanically-driven game to enjoy here that isn't just revisiting or remixing the mechanics of other games in the sub-genre. If you're like me, I implore you to give this game a second look. It is polished, it is snappy, and it is fun.

I still don't like the aesthetic chosen (though I understand why the developers went with it), but I give Dicey Dungeons a very high recommendation and offer my best regards.

The game has a cute gimmick and great music. For me it got REAL repetitive real quickly, and it felt like there was a little bit too much RNG; but given the characters are literal dice, I feel that was more of a me issue. I'd still honestly recommend it, just maybe buy it on sale.

yes.
