    - I sometime couldn't get information on what my equipment was or what equipment others had before a fight. Should show you to help pathing and reduce random.    … Expand

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    Very very fun game! I like the fact that it turns an abstract dicing game concept into... just dices and fighting in a dungeon. It's super smart! The game features many unique characters / enemies which contains tons of unique mechanics. It's very deep and you will enjoy it!

    The Best thing made by the game I think its his learning and dificcult curves. Feels so on point.
    I would like see little pictures of the weapon instead Just the name I think that made more confortable the game.
    Overall ist a fun game if you like builds decks and think strategies

    Incredible game.

    A great ramp from the perfect introduction to deckbuilding to a deep, complex set of challenges.

    30-45 minutes per run, amazing tunes -- just great.

    Love it!

    Des super musique je les écoute tout le temps 10/10, le gameplay peux-tu varier sur la chance même si c'est vrai qu'on peut la contrôler surtout le robot 9/10 attention spoiler à partir de maintenant le coût du 37 cm ah tu étais plutôt rigolo et avec les modes de la communauté c'est parti pour un jeu avec plus de 200 heures 10/10

    Dicey Dungeons is quite an interesting game that I both like and dislike.

    Starting off with the negatives; the game feels like it should be in early access. It's short, it need balancing changes, and it just altogether feels more like a really good concept that needs more work to see it's full potential.

    Starting off with the negatives; the game feels like it should be in early access. It's short, it need balancing changes, and it just altogether feels more like a really good concept that needs more work to see it's full potential. I beat a run on my second attempt and the whole time I was waiting for the game to actually get hard as I was still using the things I started out with and was breezing through it. On top of that once I did beat it I was seriously expecting that there would be more floors leading up to another boss but no, that was it. The game really feels like it is lacking.

    Now with all that said, it's still a fun experience. I enjoyed my run despite feeling it was too easy and too short. The combat is fun and innovative and it really feels like a good concept that could be great just given some more thought. With how it is though it's more of a casual game. Things are easy and you can beat a run in a very short amount of time. This is certainly a good one to grab so you can just pick it up and play a run or two every now and then to kill some time. Just don't expect a challenge or enough time to really get a good build going.    … Expand

    Es un gran juego con muchas maneras distintas de jugarlo. Es muy divertido, y si bien si llevas muchas horas se empieza a notar un cierto desgaste (sobre todo con algunos niveles demasiado dependientes de la suerte de tus dados), es una experiencia que recomiendo a todos los amantes de los buenos juegos.

    Oh, I love this game. At first, it looks like just another crazy rougelike, but soon enough it proves to be a meticulously crafted series of puzzles with enough rougelike elements to make it feel different every time. It's done so well, that even if throwing dice seems like the most RNG thing ever, there's always a way to beat your opponent if you play your dice right. I love the wholeOh, I love this game.

I love the whole design and it is one of the few games I got 100% on. Looking forward to your next games, Terry! (or maybe a DLC for this one...?)

    + innovative idea and done right
    + gameshowy music
    + great graphic design with well-designed enemies (both graphically and mechanically)
    + around 40 hours of gameplay
    + RNG handled really well...

    - ...though just a few (2, I believe) chapters could use a bit more work so you don't need that much luck to beat them
    - lore could be better, it serves more as a thing to distract you between episodes    … Expand

    It's a great take on dungeon crawling games. The gameplay is very enjoyable and easy to learn, and every character plays very differently. The artwork and music is also extremely enjoyable as well!

    I don't enjoy playing the later characters in the game. I want to build on one character rather than play a bunch to unlock the next stage.

    Dicey Dungeons, a deckbuilder and kind a roguelike game.

    I like the game's idea. It's pretty rare and well done for a one man studio. You'll play five different class of dice and trying to escape the dungeon. The main difficult is combined correct items and manage your deck well. Once you gather correct cards (items) around, the rest is comes.

    Although game design is enjoyable, The game turns into a boring game with long game time, too simple art design, lack of animations, bad color shame etc..

    Despite game has too many lacking part, i think still deserves to play few hours.    … Expand

    A fun game with a simple gameplay and a nice artistic design. I would have liked to have more content because the games become short and repetitive as the hours go by.

    Dicey Dungeons is a charming, fast and cheerful roguelike that has more to offer than you might think at first. No two runs are alike. Dicey Dungeons also respects your time. In just under half an hour you dice your way to the end.

    There's always something new to prod at, to see exactly how the game's rules have been twisted this time. [Issue#337, p.110]

    Under its goofy premise, Terry Cavanagh's new production is a very well designed title. Really strategic and offering a huge display of combinations, Dicey Dungeons can also be a little frustrating as we can win or lose on a roll of a dice.
