![]() Beyond a couple of new enemy types towards the end, there’s very little variety or challenge left once you leave Threedom. From then on, every battle rewards you with either a copy of a card you already have, or currency to go buy a copy of a card you already have. ![]() By the midway point, I had already collected every card in the game. The big problem with Lost in Random is its pacing. Even something as simple as freezing time to sneak behind an enemy and hit them with a charged hammer swing is incredibly satisfying… for a while. If you find yourself with a handful of traps and summons with cool interactions, it's a lot of fun to take your time setting them up like deadly dominos to knock down your enemies when time starts again. While time is stopped, you’re free to move around the battlefield wherever you like. One of my favorite moves is to lay down a Dimensional Pull trap to suck all the enemies in, then summon the Vengeful Spirit of Four-Town, a giant King Boo-like ghost, to chomp its way through the pile. As you progress through the game, you’ll earn new cards and build a full deck of 15, which can be adjusted and upgraded at any time to tailor your fighting style to the types of enemies you’re up against - you’ll also upgrade Dicey so he can roll higher numbers, letting you play more cards at once.Įarly on, a lot of the fun comes from experimenting with different cards to find the best combos. Others affect your hand directly, like Dice Wielder’s Boon, which lowers the cost of all the cards in your hand. Cards provide buffs too, like the ability to damage enemies by dashing through them or an added poison effect to your hits. Your hand determines which weapon Even wields, arming her with hammers, bows, and spears, while some cards become placeable objects and traps like cannons, bombs, time warps, and summons. When played, the cards provide a wide variety of effects. With this die, she becomes the world’s one and only Dicewielder, and it’s through this power that she even stands a chance of being able to rescue her sister. Soon after departing Onecroft, Even finds herself in the Valley of Dice and encounters a living die whom she names Dicey, voiced in a nonsensical language by the game’s writer and creative director, Olov Redmalm. Even embarks on a quest to rescue Odd from the Queen’s kingdom in Sixtopia, and along the way, helps the citizens of each district overcome the hardships foisted upon them by the Queen’s wicked rule. In the slums of Onecroft live sisters Even and Odd, until one day, the Queen’s child-snatcher comes and takes Odd away. This Hunger Games-like caste system was created by the evil Queen at the end of the No Dice War, a conflict that resulted in the death of all dice and the end of magic throughout the realm. ![]() In the land of Random, everyone’s social and economic role in society is rigidly defined by the district they live in.
