This can also be seen in the game's sidequests, and while there aren't a ton of them, the ones that do show up more often than not make you feel as if it was time well invested. Lost in Random also knows when to slow things down and let the story breathe, investing you in smaller moments that endear you to the game's cast.
That said, there are a few citizens that ratchet up the tension more than you might expect, and the Queen and her allies have an air of danger that keeps the stakes high throughout, even above the main goal of saving your sister.

Ryan North, who also wrote one of my favorite series in Marvel's The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, fills each town with a delightfully quirky cast, and each one manages to pack its own brand of fun and humor within its walls. Having multiple sets of missions also keeps things fresh, and that's not including the boss fights, which also come with their own unique spins, like participating in poetry battles that can damage the villain.Įach of the towns in this odd land feel distinct from one another but also as if they exist in the same universe.

You also have cards that can move pieces forward and others that can give you access to more cards, and the more Dicey is upgraded, the higher your rolls can be, thus allowing you to use more cards. When you take out certain enemies, you will move a giant game piece to a new square, and it can land on special spaces that can have positive or negative effects. Thankfully the game isn't always a straightforward you-versus-an-enemy battle, as some of the bigger battles are played out like a board game. There are also bombs that bounce and cards that lower the cost of other cards in the mix, as well as healing potions and other options. You'll go from being able to just use a sword or bow to having Dicey become a running bomb or unleashing a cannon, though you'll also open up access to defensive and hazard cards that shield you or slow down the enemy in a certain area. You'll need to work with Dicey to defeat your enemies and progress through the game, and doing so requires some patience, strategy, and creativity, though the relationship between Dicey and Even is just as compelling outside of combat, and you will quickly become enamored with the adorable duo as they make their way through this trippy world.

Everything in this world is dictated by the roll of the dice, but it's not just a mechanic.
