The Many Sides of Dicey Dungeons on Switch
Overview
One at a time, a series of characters are transformed into dice with different skills and transported into a dungeon. It’s sort of like a game show? You’ll fight through different floors, picking up equipment and such along the way to build your capabilities and fight the final boss.
You play the game by, well, rolling dice. Your “equipment” and “abilities” are activated by placing dice on them of certain values. You may place a 5 on your sword to deal five damage. Or maybe you place an odd-numbered die on your shield to give you three points of armor. The game’s items explore this possibility space well, so if there’s a thing you want to do with dice, chances are you’ll get an opportunity.
