Dicefolk is an excellent game that takes full advantage of the Switch. It is challenging but balances that out with giving the player full control over every turn - both their and their opponent's actions. Progression can feel a little skewed towards the luck of what upgrades you get offered run to run; but there is so much you can control to help guide your fate. If the game boiled down to a roll of the die; well, you can even upgrade the faces of that as well.

As a fan of roguelites and turn-based combat games, Dicefolk surprised me very positively, quickly becoming an adventure that I would easily recommend to anyone who also enjoys these genres. Although some aspects such as the narrative and the relationship with the Chimeras are underused, it is difficult not to engage with its innovative combat system, especially given the vast number of possible combinations in each new game.

Despite its pitfalls, Dicefolk was one of the more fun roguelikes I've played. It successfully tantalized me with the idea that this might be the time that I managed to pull a team together, after crushing me again and again.

A polished and highly competent roguelike deck builder with some neat twists, that can sometimes feel a touch too random for its own good.
