Mother.


Honestly though I was just going to steamroll her but she was electrocuting multiple dice every turn!

Ok this feels a bit dirty but I accidentally found out that if you just close out the game when you die that you can start over on the map before the fight you died in. And then I also used that and went and got my first ever "didn't actually defeat everyone" win. It always seemed pointless to me before to not just defeat everyone and go into the final fight full strength, but I was in an iffy spot (5 hp) so I just left a floor with one enemy hoping I could do better on the next floor, which started with an apple and an easy enemy, and then I was able to level up. And after that was like heck,might as well just go straight for the boss (only had 1 other enemy in my way.) And it worked!

Of course, if you've played yourself into a corner it won't help to restart right before the fight you died on, but if you just got a few bad rolls...

@Zero Yeah I realized you could scum it when I found a bug and wanted to see if I could reset the game to try and recreate it. I haven't used it to actually cheat the game, I figure a run is so short and success not so difficult that just playing it as intended is fine.

And yeah I don't think I've ever actually finished a run without defeating every enemy. Getting that last level up to go into the final boss with full health and an extra dice just seems more crucial than it really is most of the time.

I'm going to try not to cheat anymore but now that I know it is possible... oof. The temptation will always be there!

What theeee. I was having trouble with the 4th thief one, played it like 10 times and just couldn't quite get it. Then during one match I saw an option to turn into a bear so I did it. I figured it would just last a turn but then I was still a bear the next turn. Well, surely it will just last the fight? Nope! Still a bear afterwards. Bears only have a handful of attacks. No heals. Shops are different. Etc. But they are POWERFUL. Just smashed through everyone and won it!

Now I'm at 18 down, 18 (+final?) to go.. That's uh. How am I still only about halfway? Even less really, when you consider they are just getting harder and harder. How does anyone finish this game?!

Gradually! It took me like 50 hours I think.

And yeah, bears. I don't remember if I ever turned into one or not, but I think there's an achievement for it, so I could probably check that...

I did the first two Halloween bonus episodes a while back, they were good. I should finish the last one.

Yep I did get an achievement for turning into a bear. It's worth experiencing, it changes how you play a fair amount. It's like all out attack mode. Have to end things as fast as possible.

Yeah I got the cheevo, so apparently I got bear'd and don't remember it... I have a few cheevos left, including one for using the Dragon's Tooth, which I have no idea what that is...

And wow, the final Halloween DLC episode is a non-random puzzle mode, where you get a specific different set of moves and dice for each opponent, and have to figure out how to one-shot them with what you're given. It's a cool idea, but I got stumped hard on the third enemy (I've only done one run so I'm not sure if it's the same enemies every time in this episode), and unfortunately there's added frustration because the game's UI isn't really built for what the mode is going for. Still, I'll give it another shot sometime.

It's been awhile but I'm finally getting close. Only have 2 more of the main ones to go.

BUT THEY'RE BOTH WITCH ONES AND I HATE THE WITCH ONES!

Holy F. Final stages + TRUE final stage all taken down! I guess now all that is left is the Halloween special?!

I heard of this via Andrew's Twitter and it went on a deep sale (might still be) so I bought it. I've been addicted to it for the last week. I bought a copy for my nephew too. This game is addicting and fun with a great style and sound. Roguelike is not my favorite term in gaming but this feels more like a table-top dice game than anything. I can dig that.

I've fully completed the six episodes on Warrior and Robot so far. Robot was a ton of fun to play, IMO. My favorite so far. I have yet to beat anything with the Witch and the Thief has been a slow-going bit of progress, though I've been making progress.

I'd like to think I'll try to do all levels but who knows.

Still haven't gotten around to doing the final Halloween episode, or picking up the few achievements I have left... someday!

I've heard that before...

Did you try the final Halloween episode? Oddly enough it's a completely different type of gameplay (more like a puzzle game) and I got to the last fight but at that point I felt like I was just randomly trying stuff and there were way too many potential combinations to brute force it so I got bored and stopped. Felt weird to stop on the very last fight of the very last stage but eh. Not sure the puzzle gameplay really worked for me.

It's out! It's great! It's six more episodes with clever twists that are even cleverer and twistier than the clever twists in the clever, twisty original game!
And it's free! What a clever twist!

Also, the game is finally available on smartphones for the low, low price of $5!
Seems like a perfect fit for that otherwise worthless device you lug around all day long.

Or you can play it all on Game Pass, for free!
Or it goes on sale every few months! It's a steal at full price, and grand theft at the $3.74 it was a few weeks ago!

Seems like this is the last DLC coming to the game, too. Fun ride while it lasted. Though I guess it's not quite over for me, I still haven't gone back to finish the Witch's Halloween episode...

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This game honestly just hits so well for me. It's such an easy game to pick up and play, but it still pushes you to learn it in order to succeed on the higher levels.

I guess it's time to download this again! I wonder if there will also be more cheevos added, though the Halloween one didn't...

LOL. In the new thief episode you can steal a move that lets you take away 1 dice from the enemy... per turn! I used it on the end boss and after 4 turns she just plain couldn't do anything anymore. Was kind of tempted to see what would happen if I did it a 5th time but probably nothing new.
