Dicey Hacker 1999

Grindey, repeatative, and janky. the demo showcases the most polished and balanced the game will be. everything after that is just lacking, there's no difficulty, there's no real choices to make in build craft. It's just mindless clicking and a flashing screen.

As a demo, this is ok. As a game, there is much left to be wanting. Lets start by the UI. when it comes to going thru your dice, its hell. there is barely any organization. nothing is in order. Lack of any real menu to describe in better detail how each mod works. Why do the mods attack after you hit go? the combo system is a little meh, and trying to figure out the grind in this is just boring. Bug like being able to get into the black market WITHOUT A KEY.. no needing to pay to refresh the black market as you jsut click the icon instead of refresh.. so, nullyfying the need for the key. There a mod that allows full refreshing of heath and energy when using black market, allowing infinite energy and health. Sure, it was fun at first when you know nothing. I spent 15 hours of this game Crashing randomly, mods not functi9oning properly, randomly going to the main menu after a satelite launch. Plus, no word from dev in over a week on all these bugs. I asked for a refund due to the issues within the game.

Full disclosure: I won a steam key in a giveaway. The game is quite interesting! A lot of the success of your runs depends on pre-run setup of your dice board, which helps insulate a little bit from rng but without destroying the impact of rng. Each run sees you trying to blow through as many waves of enemies as possible before the boss spawns in order to be as strong as possible/collect as much data (currency) as possible. You can see the sides of each dice (thus the chances that they land on specific numbers) and use that to your advantage in a few different ways: higher dice rolls cost more to play but do more damage, but also landing on specific numbers or evens and odds for some dice produce effects upon rolling even before you spend them. Things like damaging a random enemy by a huge amount or healing you. Additionally, some dice have a % chance upon being used to attack to do extra damage or to chain to additional enemies. Of the two classes I've unlocked so far, both also interact when you have multiple dice on the same facing by letting you play them together for the cost of one. These different effects can interact with the chips (skills/passives) that you pick up …

very fun and addicting tight loop, very delicious

Simple mechanic, incredibly fun and addictive! Visual and music are awesome! For 10$, it's totally worth it!

Great game, fun mechanics, polished visuals
