It definitely only feels like I've scratched the surface of this game, but this absolutely feels like "the" roguelike for me, in the way that many talk about one specific game that really got them hooked.

Its main mechanic of having your party members abilities represented as dice is novel but nothing new - this is excruciatingly common in the board game space and also somewhat exhibited inversely in Dicey Dungeons - but there's something to be said about the incredible use of UI space, really smart wording and language and amazing atmosphere the game utilizes to keep you incredibly invested.

There's plenty of smart and clever choices in its gameplay that I love, but simply put, there's such a smart reliance on letting the player optimize their turns (and the game experience as a whole) as much as possible and then enforce difficulty elsewhere, knowing the player has so much freedom. An incredible experience on both mobile and Steam, easily becoming one of my go-to regular games.
