DICETINY blends board game, card game, and RPG in a gothic wrapper on iOS and Android in 2015
Heart of darkness
DICETINY, Fakedice's upcoming blend of board game, collectible card game, and RPG, has a might attractive wrapper on it.
Watch that trailer and you'll see what I mean. The thick bold outlines and gothic illustrations all come together rather well, don't you think?
Don't worry, I'm not dwelling on its looks because the game itself doesn't seem that promising. On the contrary, DICETINY seems to have the whole package.
It starts with you selecting one of four classes. With this done, you then march around the board by rolling the dice and, hopefully, avoiding the traps.
At some point, you'll encounter a monster, and this is when you'll need to call upon your cards in battle.
The monsters vary depending on the setting, with Death Knights, Goblin Lichs, and Mother Dragons to beat up.
The goal is to beat the boss of the board, who then drops a random card that you can add to your deck.
So there's plenty going on in DICETINY. It short, it's an attempt to capture the heart of board games, CCGs, and RPGs, and doing so with a sense of humour.
Look out for this one when it arrives on Android and iOS in the summer of 2015. Keep up with its development on the developer's website.
