SuperSpooky Member Dec 27, 2018 9 3 3 Male #3 SuperSpooky, Jul 7, 2022 I loved this game, but I want to emphasize loved because the genre has been infinitely improved and expanded upon since this came out. If it had dropped on iOS when it got announced i would have said yes absolutely $5 is a steal but there are just so many other games doing this now that I can’t really recommend it. naghihimutuc Well-Known Member Mar 11, 2020 111 58 28 #4 naghihimutuc, Jul 7, 2022 I’m kinda liking it. It feels like Dicey Elementalist with a more minimalist art style and a lot more varied character class gimmicks and play styles. But I think it needs some random events to spice things up? I’m unlocking a bunch of character classes and haven’t gotten thru the events yet so I’m not sure if those exist in the expansions/episodes. But so far so good! I’m liking the humor and the numbers games! I might play with my 10 year old to help with his math hohoho. naghihimutuc Well-Known Member Mar 11, 2020 111 58 28 #5 naghihimutuc, Jul 7, 2022 …but as far as visuals go, Dicey Elementalist wins this one hahaha. But Dicey Dungeons does have that one time purchase of five bucks for a lot of content; DE makes you pay with the character classes one by one though it does have a pretty long end-game content. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #6 ste86uk, Jul 7, 2022 @SuperSpooky what would you recommend on iOS over this? Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #7 Brightsiderus, Jul 7, 2022 Uh… dicey Elementalist was released after Dicey Dungeons, if I’m not mistaken. But iOS release of the latter was later naghihimutuc likes this. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #8 Brightsiderus, Jul 7, 2022 Don’t listen to him. Grab Dicey Dungeons. There are some games like DD: previously mentioned dicey Elementalist and basically any card roguelike game like Slay The Spire, Steamworld Quest etc. the last one is my favorite because of the setting ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #9 ste86uk, Jul 7, 2022 I did buy it already and will get chance to start it tonight very soon now, looks like I’ve tried Elementalist but I don’t really remember it so can’t be that good but I’ll take a look again. Slay the Spire I spent a good 50 odd hours on, on my switch before selling it but for some reason never got into the iOS version. Steamworld I started and never finished too… I have this issue where I buy games, play them. Then keep buying new games and don’t finish my other games like an endless vicious circle cyllwynn likes this. AltsKev Well-Known Member Nov 12, 2016 566 157 43 Male Developer #10 AltsKev, Jul 7, 2022 This one is fun, but honestly i prefer dicey Elementalist, portrait mode, random event, more characters and a lot of card. albertjr92 New Member Jul 7, 2022 1 0 1 #11 albertjr92, Jul 7, 2022 Does anyone know if cloud saves between iPhone and iPad are supported? Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #12 Rocco SE, Jul 7, 2022 Without this absolutely brilliant gem, there wouldn‘t be any Dicey Elementalist. I also would love to be able to play it in portrait, but it‘s a PC port. And a fantastic one. Played the beta a ton, and I‘m happy it finally arrived in the App Store. Premium indie games are on a roll. cyllwynn, Talbs and metalcasket like this. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,127 703 113 #13 anthony78, Jul 7, 2022 I still like this better. Dicey Elementalist still feels F2P even after you buy the characters with the currency and watching ads to get more rewards, etc. This just feels better all around IMO.

Design, music, gameplay and atmosphere, everything are perfect. Exactly games could play portrait are great, however it's not related to game experiences themselves IMO. Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #18 Rocco SE, Jul 8, 2022 It‘s a PC port, where porting to mobile already is a huge chunk of work, for a small team that is rather busy developing whole new games. That‘s why I fully understand, rather being happy that they do the mobile port at all. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #19 squarezero, Jul 8, 2022 That makes a ton of sense. Frankly, I think folks who are asking for portrait mode are reacting to how well the gameplay fits a touch-based mobile platform. It’s almost like it was made for a phone — except for the landscape orientation. I played the beta too — it’s a brilliant game. So glad it’s finally out. Rocco SE Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2020 267 258 63 Male Modern Mime Artist Austria https://silentrocco.net #20 Rocco SE, Jul 8, 2022 Usually, I‘m part of this group. Since I also think that (one handed) portrait gaming is THE one standalone feature of mobile gaming. And I see myself specifically looking for this when checking out games. And if this was a new title, then going for landscape would be kind of a crime. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
