"Dice Legacy" has just released onto PC and Nintendo Switch. An extremely unique title from Italian developers DESTINYbit and published by Ravenscourt, it combines roguelike, survival and city-building elements.
Players use dice to establish a medieval town in a fascinating ringworld and grow their society.
Every action is based on the roll of a six-sided die, from planting and harvesting to establishing supply chains or combat. In Dice Legacy, the dice represent the work force. As a ruler, builder, conqueror, or trader, players will need to provide their dice with nourishment and care or witness their subjects eventually fade away. Balancing exploration, resource gathering, building, and conquering is key whilst the ever present threat of mysterious factions looms in the fog of war.
Dice Legacy is an incredibly refreshing twist on the survival/city builder genre. However the random nature does ramp up the difficulty somewhat and the game becomes incredibly frantic very quickly if you aren't able to multitask effectively. There's a lot to manage and a relatively step learning curve. The tutorial gives you the basics and all the information is in game, but there is minimal hand holding. Dice Legacy has enormous potential and a lot to give, but players really have to invest in learning and understanding the gameplay to get the best from it.
