May 2026
If I could give a neutral review, I would. Mechanically it's very similar to Peglin (which is Peggle as a Roguelike) but with its own unique twists; don't expect a dice game in the sense that dice rolls matter. But the problem is not its inherent gameplay, which is fun, but that also like Peglin it has the same issue of the game lacking enough content to be great. But tbh it's even worse due to how it treats runs and makes what I believe a fundamental mistake on the roguelike style they were going for. But I'll still give a positive for the general vibe and the sale price, but I just think it needed more. Pros and cons below: PROS: 1) Unique spin on the launch item at other items to rack up points puzzle game 2) Good use of roguelike structure for meta progression. You don't unlock permanent buffs but you do unlock more items you can find in a run or more characters you can use. And it's plentiful with the rewards during during runs and has variety. 3) Increasing combos, numbers, and unlocks make dopamine drip and brain happy. 4) Fun animations, style, and music. 5) Good tutorial and controller integration. CONS: 1) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please add a faster game speed than just 2.0x. it's cute at first but eventually you will get sick of seeing every dice you engage play an associated animation, especially when it's just basic attacks. I wonder if that was intentional to cover the fact the levels cut so short, as I'll explain next. 2) Stops you when you beat a boss instead of a longer gameplay loop. You don't continue to a new biome once you beat one, it just stops you after you beat a level boss and then you have to start again to go after the next boss. For the lack of a better term it's basically roguelike blue balls. And makes starting again seem less enticing because you were forced to stop right when your build was starting to really come together. That style doesn't work here because you play short burst battles and go across a map like StS or Inscryption, so your flow is just stopped in its tracks and you don't get a lot of content before you have to restart a run. Less Ball x Pit (each level being one long unbroken fight) and more what if StS ended a run after the first area boss, or Balatro ended a run after just one big blind. Because of just how abrupt and anti climactic it is, I genuinely thought I accidentally downloaded the demo instead of the full game when this happened and I was being blocked from the full content. 3) Too easy. I literally beat the first level boss on my first run and that's while taking the fastest route to the boss. Which also made the abrupt end surprise me because I thought I finally got a flow in my build and enemies started actually becoming dangerous. BUT, I don't want it to get arbitrarily harder by increasing enemy stats or decreasing positive RNG for you (Peglin did that for the final boss to pad the game and it's a problem). They could just do what most other games do and increase the length of a run with tougher enemies and bosses past the first area. It's a weird self imposed problem that has an obvious solution; change it to a continuous progression where you can keep going until you fail. This weird level based system while being a Roguelike doesn't work with this little content per run.

It's ok, but it has some weird design choices that make it frustrating - why end the run just before the build gets good? And why is every build so underpowered until late in the run? Worth a try but not as fun/chaotic as other roguelikes.

Played a lot of the demo so this was an instant buy for me. I like how the game physics work; I feel like you can plan your shots and what combos are going to happen just enough so that semi-randomeness makes each turn interesting. I definitely feel like I'm in more control here than something like Peglin, where things are more up to chance than actual tactical aiming strategy like you have here. Hitting things with the die could make things move a little bit more, but I think that might make it a little bit too easy to get combos. Slay the Spire is an obvious inspiration with the map layout (which thankfully looks different visually without really being different mechanically) and use of potions and relics. Runs like a dream on the Steam Deck also; some tool tip text is a little small.

sadly its very short. only 1 "world" with like 15 stages. you just start to get strong and the run is already over. definitly needs a multi-world-mode or even endless. the gameplay itself is super fun and there are a lot of classes with a clear unique identity to play around with (unique as in unique class mechanic)

The gameplay loop is super addictive and the dice merge mechanic is really engaging unique. However, I feel as if the runs are just a tad bit too short; It ends right as you just start to get a bit powerful. A mode where you can go through all 3 levels in the same run maintaining your dice/relics would make this S-tier instead of high B / low A. Let me have just a ♥♥♥♥ ton of dice and cause overpowered bomb die fueled chaos hahahaha. Still a great game though
