Dicealot Build 20499818

Dicealot is a tense, stylish roguelike that turns every roll of the dice into a make-or-break moment. You play as Queen Guinevere rallying the Knights of the Round Table in a charmingly chaotic Camelot, using Farkle-inspired push-your-luck combat to topple cursed foes and ultimately save King Arthur. The core loop is simple but addictive: roll dice, build combos, decide whether to bank your gains or push for bigger rewards - knowing a single bad choice can wipe out that turn’s progress.
The game leans hard into risk-versus-reward. Between battles you visit shops to collect and upgrade from a roster of over 100 unique dice, and you choose from 10 weapons that radically change how you play (steady damage versus high-risk big swings, for example). Combat is strategic despite the luck element: re-rolls, dice synergies and weapon abilities let you mitigate bad rolls and craft powerful turn sequences. Enemy variety (30+ foes) and seven difficulty levels add depth and replayability, while the medieval-carnival presentation keeps the tone playful even when the stakes are high.
What works well
- The push-your-luck mechanic creates constant tension and thrilling moments when you decide to press on.
- Wide variety of dice and weapon choices encourages experimentation and different playstyles.
- Roguelike progression and multiple difficulty settings give strong replay value.
- Presentation and theme-an off-kilter Camelot-are memorable and entertaining.
Potential drawbacks
- The luck element can feel punishing at times, especially on runs where several bad rolls stack up.
- Players who dislike high variance mechanics might find the push-or-bank decisions frustrating rather than fun.
- As with many roguelikes, runs can feel repetitive until you unlock or discover new dice and synergies.
Who it’s for
Dicealot will appeal to fans of risk-based, deck/roll-builders - think players who enjoyed Dicey Dungeons, Slay the Spire, or Monster Train but want a dice-first twist. If you enjoy tension, experimentation with combinatorial mechanics, and the thrill of swinging for huge plays (with the possibility of spectacular failure), Dicealot delivers a satisfying, addictive experience.
Overall, Dicealot is a bold, high-stakes roguelike that rewards daring and clever planning. It’s a great pick if you crave tense decisions and deep dice-driven strategy wrapped in a whimsical medieval package.
