The object of these battles is to survive, killing enemies and getting your piece to a certain section on the board. However, there are also board game-style battles where each time you roll Dicey to use a card, your board piece moves. Normal battles just pit you against a few enemies in order to get past them and progress. Keep in mind that you can only carry 15 cards in your active deck, so building a deck to suit your playstyle is important. If you use the same card again before your weapon breaks, it restores durability and strengthens the weapon. By using a weapon card, you give Even access to that weapon until it breaks. Weapons are the really interesting cards though. Cheats do things like giving you extra energy, letting you heal, and more. Defense cards may give you a shield to absorb damage or fulfill other utility options. Hazards allow you to place things like bombs or other things that might give you an advantage over the enemies. Damage cards involve exactly what you would think, dealing damage. Cards have different energy cost values, so a healing potion might cost one energy, while summoning a weapon may cost more.Ĭards are split into categories, damage, hazards, cheats, defense, and weapons. Once you collect enough, you can throw Dicey in order to play cards. Enemies have crystals growing on them, and in order to be able to fight the enemies, you have to shoot the crystals off and collect them. I was surprised by the combat system at first because it is something of a real-time action game mixed with a card-based battle system. These coins can be used to buy cards, which brings us to the combat system. Even is armed with a slingshot that she can use to hit switches and breakable items that give coins. The environments are all distinctive, with interesting characters. They set out to stop the Queen and rescue Odd, but in order to do that they must travel through each of the districts and fight off the Queen’s minions. In the process of trying to pursue her, Even meets Dicey, a sentient dice who bonds with her. However, Six is the most prosperous land of the queen, and thus Odd is taken from her home. Even and Odd are from the district of One, which is considered the slums and most unlucky. This Hunger-Games-esque situation causes a problem for protagonist Even, whose sister Odd rolls a six on her dice. She also mandated that on their 12 th birthday, each child born would roll her dice, and whatever it landed on would be their new home. She then used her dark dice to separate the districts from each other, keeping them in conflict within themselves. As the game’s title suggests Randomness is a huge mechanic in the game, playing with the hand you dealt with is an important aspect of the game, defy your cursed fate against all odds.The Queen took over, destroying most of the sentient dice in a war that ultimately left her with one of the only magical dice in existence.While deckbuilding is not a central mechanic you still need to have a good understanding of how your deck will work practically while in combat, you can only put 15 cards in your main deck the rest will be in your inventory.The game’s combat consists of two phases collecting energy from enemies by hitting specific points once you have enough energy, you roll a dice to determine how many cards you can play Weapon, Damage, Defense, Hazard, and Cheat are the 5 main cards types.Lost in Randoms’ story is written by award-winning writer Ryan North, he penned a unique world with its own regime, explore 6 twisted realms of the kingdom random with each realm having its own unique set of rules.After finding another magical dice, you begin your journey to finding your sister no matter the cost.
