Play Time: 94hrs Achievements: 45 of 49. 92% Date/Version: June 17th 2026 Rating: 8 ¾ out of 10 DiceFolk is a tactical, rotational dice battler of sorts, where you have dice, equipment, and other items that'll help you either win or lose a fight. The game play resolves around initially picking your starting “tribe/faction”, manipulating dice, traveling a little “world map”, moving your Chimera or enemy Chimera in a circular fasion, y (leader position), equipping items on your Chimeras, equipping 1 time use items onto your main character, events, and lastly but most importantly what Chimera's you decide to use. You'll face fun and yet challenging bosses. With multiple challenge modes, and multiple difficulty settings. NOTE! I played with the DLC from the onset, all information provided includes DLC content. (worth it) (Potential Spoilers) Chimera's: You have over 129 Chimera that you can play as and against, with 99% of them having a unique ability or passive. Each with a secondary form (shiny color style) that you may be able to obtain. please note I have not obtained all alternate color pallets so I'm assuming this to be true. Are they balanced no, but that's that just adds to the fun. These same Chimera you can obtain, you may also be facing. For achievement hunting it literally took me over 10 hours of game play just to get the 1 Chimera I needed to complete the Chimera compendium. You can obtain Chimera's via shrines, and the painters canvas.. Tribes/Factions: Each one will have their own unique Chimera's besides the final special Tribe of sorts... this you can encounter to have on your team all Chimera's from all the tribes/factions. Each Tribe/Faction will have it's own unique starting Dice pattern, and some times Mechanic. In addition these Tribes/Factions will specialize in particular mechanics that may work with your dice. It's a super fun mechanic and allows for some fantastic unique gameplay. There are 7 tribes/factions in total. Equitable items: With over 263 items that you can equip, or store for later use, sell, or trade in for another random item you'll have plenty of combinations you can make with your Chimera's and with the other items. Again are they balanced, no but sometimes you can find some super broken builds you wouldn't expect with items you wouldn't think of being useful. Most times your Chimera will start off with 1 item slot, this can be increased to 5 slots per Chimera. Some items will break if your Chimera is KO'd, and other items you can never remove from your Chimera. Items usually can be swapped between your inventory, or other Chimera's. Dice Actions: There are 62 unique actions (on dice) that you can utalize. These dice determine your “hero's” actions and Chimera's actions. Example: Shielding (block's 1 attack), AOE damage skill that is not considered an “attack”. AOE Attack skill, Healing, etc.. You may obtain additional actions via buying them or sometimes from winning fights. Especially the Elite fights. Hero Items: There are one time use hero items “tokens” and “dice” that you can purchase or may win from battles. Please note you do not win “dice” from battles. I have no idea how many unique “Tokens” and “Dice” there are but there's a nice amount. Effects; Add a debuff based on your Chimera Leader's attack strength. Do an 1 time AOE attack based on the current Chimera Leaders attack. Achievements: Some are rough, there's a reason several are only 1% achieved by the player base. Truly these require not only grinding, With a bit of RNG luck, as stated with the Chimera's it took over 10 hours to just witness my last Chimera I needed. I had beaten the game had the hardest difficulty, and beaten the final boss with all units within that “faction” I enjoyed this game a great deal. MUST BUY. PROS: Unique Tribes/Factions Unique Chimeras Nice Learning curve Unique Items Game Play Music NEUTRAL: Balance Art CONS:
