Have to say, this is one of your best reviews to date. I played this on PC, don’t recall how far i progressed - but can say all of your comments are accurate, and clearly convey the experience of playing this game. The developer, Terry Cavanaugh, always creates a well-thought out product, across a variety of genres (aside from this, VVVVVV and Super Hexagon are two of his better-known games).
@@BudgetGamerChannel I think the quality is high because Dicey Dungeons is a tricky game to explain, as it doesn’t exactly fit into the usual tropes and forms, but you still were clear, succinct, and accurate in your descriptions. And you made it a point to highlight the different play mechanics of the various characters, which I think is a central point of the game. I think a number of reviews missed or glossed over that point, or mostly stayed within deck-building or rogue-lite frameworks. You did mention those things as relevant, but most of all you stayed true to the product itself. To quote Wallace Stevens, “not ideas about the thing, but the thing itself”
Well, I am flattered. And, I sincerely thank you for your feedback. It's the only way I can grow, and it is good to hear that the message of 'respecting the game' is coming through. :D
VERY impressive length (howlongtobeat puts it at between 26 and 56 hours). Since many indie games are rather short, maybe it would be interesting to put together a video / a playlist of the longest games reviewed here ?
I enjoy this game a lot! Just unlocked the Jester and am working my way through Robot. These kind of games come in handy on the switch seeing as my joycons disconnect at times making it not so functional trying to play an action game. I alternate between this and Slay the Spire when I want to play something along these lines. That was a nice in depth review. I'll check out some more and subscribe. Thanks!
Easily one of my new favorite games this year, real challenge to it and it doesn't back down, tons of strategy to each character and enemies to keep me addicted, terry cavanagh is a mad genius
Saw the dice in the thumbnail, saw the BudgetGamer posted the video and now SERIOUSLY fighting the urge to go buy this before watching even a second of the review.
Dude same for Going Under. It looked silly but interesting.. I bought it on sale thinking I'd never play it. I was wrong. And addicted to that game for a long ass time.
You're totally welcome! Isolating what you don't like is a great way to identify what you love! (I do that for figuring out what I want for dinner) Lol!
Witch wasn't too bad until I hit episode 4, at which point she gets stupidly hard! I do remember having problems with Warrior 2, Thief 3, and one of the others on my way!
@@BudgetGamerChannel The Uptick episode is really tough, but the others aren't too bad once you learn the key to success: countdown builds. If you use Crowbar+ or Wrecking Ball+ combined with lots of countdown equipment, you'll basically be unstoppable!
This is the most difficult game I've ever played. And the cheating by the game itself is despicable. You finally get close to being able to beat the first level and you're thrilled to see that all of your dice are 4's, 5's, and 6's but then they suddenly become 1's across the board. What's the point of making a game that is too hard to be enjoyable?
I'm a big fan of slay the spire and monster train. I hated this game at first, but after you learn how the mechanics work. I can hardly put it down.

Whaaaaat!? Really? what did I do!? XD
(seriously, wanna know how to stay at the top of the quality curve)

Hell yeah, glad Dicey Dungeons is getting some love. Very excited for the eventual physical
Yeah, this game is a must for the collection. 😁
Got this one on sale a while back, and I definitely agree that it gets HARD; excellent game and excellent value.
I couldnt believe some of the starting penalties that certaim characters get in later levels. 😱
First video I've seen of yours. It's very well made. Your observations are sharp. Thanks much!
Hey, thank you so much, and welcome to the BGC! I put my heart into it, that's for sure. 😄
I wager this game isn’t as much of a gamble as it looks. Good review.
Oh the puns and wordplay! XD
The dude that podcasts witb Pat the NES punk was talking about this one a while back. I completely forgot about it. Seems super fun. Thanks!
You are totally welcome, my dude. On the note of PodCasts... I've been thinking of doing one myself. 😅
@@BudgetGamerChannel you should, you have a voice and insight that could really work in that format
Ok, now I'm going to seriously look into it. :D
I played it on Steam and, as a rogue like fan, it is one of my favorite game ever !
Thanks for the review 👍
Of course! I can't believe it took me so long to play the darn thing! So good!
I miss your reviews bro! Hope u come back…
Anyone watching should go give this a try. I really love the animation in this game and each characters playstyle is a lot of fun to experiment with.

Now that's an idea. 🤔
Filament would be #1. Haha!

Such a good game! I still go back to this now and then
I think it's one of my top-tier games on the switch. Only wish it had 2-player mode.
Did I buy this game as soon as it came out on switch even though I'd already beaten it on steam? Yes of course I did
Gonna get the physical copy too? :3
@@BudgetGamerChannel lol that is very likely
Thanks for explaining yourself well, being concise and clearly playing the game to understand it. Sold me on the game
I love this game. Worth full price.
I saw someone playing this on Pc and was excited when it was announced on Switch. Also picked it up on a sale.
Awesome! I still can believe that its over 50 hours of gameplay. Thays just crazy talk for the indie scene.
I sent this video to a friend. This is not a game for me, but I hope they will enjoy it. Thank you for the review
Hey, thanks so much for sharing the video! That means a lot, and as a still small channel, it helps a lot too! :3
One of my favourites. Btw Monster Train was announced for Switch the other day, you'll want to check that out.
Oh! Will! Thank you!

I Have to agree. I still cant believe how awesome this little indie is. I hear there is a physical coming soon as well. :D
@@BudgetGamerChannel would be nice, wish it would come with his game Super Hexagon as well
This seems really tempting. Thanks for the heads up. 👈👈😉
You got it! $8... 50 hours of gameplay... 🤔🤔
Happy gaming my dude! 😉👉👉

Lololol! I'm flattered! :D
Dude same for Going Under. It looked silly but interesting.. I bought it on sale thinking I'd never play it. I was wrong. And addicted to that game for a long ass time.
Can't wait for the next game review because there's nothing I'd like about this one, thanks for the review to help me figure that out
You're totally welcome! Isolating what you don't like is a great way to identify what you love! (I do that for figuring out what I want for dinner) Lol!
I’ve wanted to try this game out! I’ll have to give it a shot
Please do! It hink its still on sale for about $8
i think indie greg and I might just be those fans you were talking about at the beginning of the video lol.
Booted this one up today for the first time in a while. It's fantastic, even if it has some difficulty spikes in some of the episodes.
This is certainly one ill be coming back to. Only wish there were a 2-player mode. Id love to lay this with some friends.
**stares in Witch**
Witch wasn't too bad until I hit episode 4, at which point she gets stupidly hard!
I do remember having problems with Warrior 2, Thief 3, and one of the others on my way!
I think the thief was the toughest character for me.

There’s a very (very) similar game called Dicey Elementalist on mobile. The ads are annoying but if you play in airplane mode it’s fine.
Got this game for a amazing deal of $3.74 don't regret anything
I downloaded this on Game Pass today and three hours slipped by. This game is so much fun.
Thanks for the review
You sir.... are very welcome! :D
Thank you. Nice review :)
Great game but I liked the usual dices the most
Ah man, dead channel. But I like your review, it was the tipping point for me.
Looks like Dice Throne
Cool, like the look of this! :)
Seriously such an underrated game. 😊
Yeah, looks cool, especially for a deck builder, usually not my sort of thing!,😃
Mine either. I mean, I liked Hearthstone, but not many others. Seriously, such a great player experience. Wish I had played it a long time ago.
I do like the aesthetic as well, not taking itself seriously is a good thing, you just have fun playing a game
Dicey Dungeons
Are they fans, or are they viewers?
Wowowowowow
It’s a pity you are not a board gamer. This is a game for board gamers.
Take a look at One Deck Dungeon. It’s roguelite, not rogue like.
This is not for me.
Lol! I figured as much. XD
@@BudgetGamerChannel I've been playing this game ALL day. 3 months ago me doesn't know shit.
