You can see what I mean in the trailer embedded further up in this piece. All of that seems appropriate! It’s also very cute.

As Eric himself put it, “your magic missile might only be receptive to an even-numbered die, or your most powerful move might only take a six.” So it seems like there’s a bit more random chance at play than usual in those sort of game.

You can purchase the “deckbuilding roguelike” on Steam and Itch.io starting on Aug. Now Dicey Dungeons also has a release date. It also looks like it might be a whole lot of fun, according to our own Fanbyte hands-on with the game.
