Somehow, I stumbled upon this super cute game demo called Dobble Dungeon this morning on Steam, quickly downloaded it, and then added it to my wishlist. I can't remember if they were featuring it, or it just happened to show up in my recommended games.
Dobble dungeon is a pretty basic turn-based RPG, but it's absolutely oozing with that claymation charm. In addition it's also a dice game where each character in your party rolls the dice and expends them on extra movement, attack, or buffs.
Some abilities rely on certain dice rolls to activate them, such as the fireball ability from Amber the Pyromancer. At first, you'll need to roll two dice that have the same number to cast it, but eventually you can upgrade the ability so doubles aren't needed.
The upgrading system seems very similar to what you'd see in Diablo IV so far. Basically, your party gets skill-ups, and you spend them on your characters to advance their skills. This also means you could really heavily upgrade one character over another from what I can tell. Might be fun to do a run in the demo where you only invest in one character!
This all feels and looks like an indie darling game that pays homage to Fire Emblem in the best of ways while doubling down on the cute charm of claymation. It's the kind of stuff that I might throw money at, so I'll be keeping an eye on my wishlist. To be fair, the game feels like it's going to need just a bit extra to keep me hooked, but the free demo seemed worth my time.
If you get a chance to download and play it, let me know your thoughts! Looks pretty fun.
Happy Dueling!
