Dicey Dungeons
by Distractionware Limited
Released: Jul 7
$4.99

Play as one of several contestants on an twisted game show that has turned you into a dice and put you in a fight for survival in Dicey Dungeons. This game has the humor, charm, simplicity, and variety to make it a perfect addition to your mobile game library.

Why you should play it

This game takes modest, ordinary six-sided dice and crafts an immaculate and varied roguelike experience around them. The basic premise involves turn-based combat that is driven by plugging dice into ability cards, but depending on the class you are playing as, the gear you have equipped, and the enemy you are facing, your dice can behave in wildly different ways, forcing you to always be planning new strategies for success.

Why you might not play it

This incredible dungeon-crawler released on non-mobile platforms back in 2019, so it's possible you already have it elsewhere. That said, Dicey Dungeons has always felt like it would be a perfect on-the-go game, and it is with this mobile port. It also helps this version includes all of the game's additional post-release content including a brand new "Reunions" DLC that released at the same time as this mobile version.
