Performance-wise, I did have the odd weird janky occurrence in the game, nothing game-breaking but I had the odd issue activating something or shooting targets but I could count these occurrences on one hand. It’s right up my street to be fair and I adore it but each to their own. The voice work is often creepy, very eerie and a lot of the time borderline insane. Again though, some people may not like the style on show here and that is just the way things are. It’s the same story with the sound work, it fits the visual style and the voice acting is very good. It’s extremely beautiful, don’t get me wrong but it’s a dark beauty that not everyone will take to. All the characters have that wooden puppet look to them and everything is extremely grim and dank. I really adored the whole system, it’s tactical, rewarding and very board-gamey.įrom a presentation standpoint, it is hard to talk about the graphics without giving a shout out to Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas. He sells cards and you can add cards to your deck and customise it to your play-style. Lost in Random also has a deck-building element, what would a game about board games be without a bit of trusty deck-building? As you meander through random you will come across a bloke who is half man half cabinet, (I know, I told you this game was full of weirdos). When you attack or press triangle everything un-pauses and you repeat until everything is dead. As I am sure you can see this system gives the player a lot of choices and allows you to make tactical decisions, even if it is sometimes, down to chance. You can spawn weapons so you can attack directly, you can buff yourself, spawn bombs, reduce the power required for cards in your hand, re-draw cards and even heal yourself. These cards come in Attack, Cheat and Defence varieties and can create a dice-load of different effects. Whatever number he lands on is your useable power and then while the action is paused you can use any of the cards in your hand as long as it’s within your power you rolled with Dicey. When you have enough power stored up in Dicey you can throw him in the air, don’t worry though, he does not mind, he’s a die after all. These cards and Dicey, in combination, are where the meat of this system comes from. These crystals both power up Dicey and draw cards from your collection. Firstly you use your trusty slingshot to hit crystals that spawn in locations on the enemies body. It works on many levels like a well-baked cake. Roll For CritĬombat in Lost At Random is as unique as it is moreish. The banter between Dicey, Even and the at times, hilarious Narrator kept me giggling all the way through the game. Each area, while containing the main quest has a few diversions to keep you entertained and boy will you be entertained. A magical fellow who helps Even on her quest, fight the many foes of Random and go about rescuing her sister.Īs with every game of this type, you will come across collectables, side quests and chances to gain more coinage. Luckily, as you may have guessed Even finds what can only be described as a fantastical sidekick called Dicey. The Queen has since outlawed the use of dice so she holds all the power. Where would we be in games without loved ones and siblings going on quests with very little chance of success? Nowhere I would imagine.īack in the old days, the world was inhabited by Dice Wielders, powerful dice battling warriors but that was a long time ago. After failing to hide, Odd rolls a six and ends up being taken away to start her new life with the Queen.Įven then see’s a ghost, has some weird dreams and decides to go on a rescue mission.
