Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed sequence of battles may find run-to-run creature variation a poor match.
- Players who do not enjoy planning team composition and battle action order may hit friction in the combat system.
- Players looking for a multiplayer game may not find a fit in the described solo hero adventure.
Our take on Dicefolk
The likely bounce point is the combat planning: players who want battles to resolve without choosing dice effects, Chimera roles, and action order may find the repeated tactical decisions a barrier.
What is Dicefolk?
Play as Alea, a Dicefolk hero who can befriend Chimera and oppose forces threatening humanity.
Recruit creatures from a roster of over 100 hand-drawn Chimera and assemble a team with abilities suited to different battles. The game combines monster-catching with tactical roguelite runs. Customize dice to influence Chimera attacks and abilities, then decide the order of actions during battles. Team choices and battle tactics vary with the creatures encountered: each playthrough can offer different Chimera and rewards, prompting new team strategies. The quest also includes talismans to unlock and mystical secrets tied to the Chimera. Dicefolk frames its combat around player control of dice and turn order rather than leaving those choices entirely to chance.

Dicefolk compared to similar games
