Let's Play Dicey Dungeons - Part 1
hello everybody and welcome, or welcome
back to Dicey Dungeons if you are not
aware of what this game is yet I mean
I've done an extensive series already on
my channel but this is a brand new fresh
slate for the game it just came out best
way to describe it is probably a deck
building roguelike but instead of cards
you're kind of using dice and equipment
character builder roguelike it's I
haven't seen anything quite done in this
exact way before which is really really
cool we'll get into it quite like really
quickly here and will if you're not sure
what the game is it'll really describe
itself with the gameplay but I've been
freaking adoring it made by Terry
Cavanagh of VVVVVV fame and Super Hexagon
in addition there is a small
team working with him to make the bangin
soundtrack and everything like that holy
moley let's pop right in it with our
first character here with the warrior
I'm here to fight... fight fun have fun and
fight monsters back home I love working
out long walks on the beach and working
out so alright so all of our progress
has been reset but there is gonna be new
stuff if you watch the pre-alpha there's
gonna be new episodes that were not in
it before there's gonna be tweaks and
everything I have not played this yet
I've not played this form yet so here we
go let's pop right in time for another
round of Dicey Dungeons where the fun
never stops
just like our contestants who are
trapped here forever
ooh already like there's a new snowy
zone sorry there's gonna be people who
are brand new I'm gonna be gushing about
things that have been changed since they
the Alpha the music is definitely
different the environments a little bit
different so here we go we start with two
die as our code you can see right here
the warrior right now we have to die to
be roll and as our special warrior class
we get the combat roll which lets us
reroll the die up to three times
obviously we're just gonna reroll
until we could get a six so we could put
the six into our sword right here
because whatever we put in here is the
amount of damage it does obviously we
want to do six damage because it's the
best we can do so right now it's
obviously really straightforward as far
as how we want to go about things but we
also can get equipment overtime like the
staff
it is a different one right there you
see there's an eight in there that means
you need to put a total of eight you
know whatever dice that add up with the
pips add up to eight pips with the
little dots on the die and we can check
it out right here see what is you know
what's up we kind of want to get a six
still I'd say holy moly that is not a
great one so we'll just throw that in
there get that so it puts it down to six
that does persist through rounds which
is quite nice
repeat the next attack so he's got fury
his next attack will be done twice the
good news is I don't think he's really
gonna get that chance so let's see if we
can get all right that's enough right so
we put that in that six does damage it
also burns a die we won't get to see
what it does here but one of his dice
would be set on fire so he could still
use it but he would take two damage if
he did so we can use that to set up some
situations where enemies are basically
dead but they either have to choose
between you know taking damage or not or
not doing anything so we level up we got
a little bit health and we do actually
roll an extra die every turn pirate is a
brand new enemy we're gonna fight this
son of a gun right now he's a big chunk
or a knee so let's see his moves here
maximum 5 do blank damage on a 5 you can
reuse this that could be bad to 2 damage
and inflict 1 burn you only can roll to
die though that can be a scary could be
ahem
dicey so let's re-roll that ok well
that's a tease we know what we're gonna
do we're gonna do both of our moves
pretty slick if we can do half his
health in one turn that's not a problem
by me he's gonna take that to Dan
because he wants to get that lets him
reuse it but he didn't do it
and I guess I don't blame him so as we
take damage we charge up this right here
this is our fury and each character has
a different thing for us it's the fury
which doubles our next action like the
wolf you saw before we could do that and
double our action so we can kill him in
one hit or we could just like take the
two damage and save that fury for later
because quite frankly I think the amount
of value we can get out of it is worth
more way more okay so there's the five
health on the ground if we walk up to
the Dryad we do not pick it up we we can
skip over it and save that for later and
I'm not too worried about the Dryad cuz
we're gonna level up afterwards which
would heal us up to max health this
could be a dumb idea but I feel like
we're gonna completely save especially
with our fury pretty bad rolls pretty
bad rolls I'm actually gonna re-roll
okay and then let's let's fury because
we're gonna take a little bit of damage
which will give us a charging that up
not to mention the fact that this sucker
is pretty pretty walloped right now
already we got I'm sure we'll get lethal
next turn all right good deal I mean we
have lethal right just guaranteed okay
and then we will level up getting
ourselves full health oh you think you
can be trees dude yeah you're feeling
good the trees will wait until and they
will eat you when you're gone mate oh my
god what a punk so we got a level up
there we can pick between it to rewards
now so these rewards are always the same
at the level there's different episodes
that give you different equipment and
things like that and make you play the
game in different ways like there's I
believe there's six characters and each
character has six episodes episodes are
effectively different challenges and a
lot of them get wildly different from
each other so it is quite cool all the
characters are wildly different in all
the episodes for each character are
wildly different for this the safe way
to go is the spiked shield but I think
I'm gonna go crazy and go for the
boomerang because I'm a crazy guy
all right let's take a look at this
stuff to analyze it okay so we do have
you see here the backpack currently we
can fit everything we got you can
imagine if we get more stuff we can have
to slot it in there effectively but
right now we got the boomerang so we
whatever dice we put in there we do two
times the amount of damage but we take
the damage as well sometimes taking
damage is not like the worst thing in
the world you can activate your fury or
whatever bump is just uh in my opinion
this is kind of like a freebie card dice
value up it's just super super
beneficial you know the question is is
it worth a slot or not that's always
what you got to ask yourself and I'd say
I mean right now obviously it is so can
you tell me better all right all right
all right so the fun thing we could do
with you if you dice value up a six you
do get an extra one I don't know why I
want to do that but I just wanted to I
just wanted to it's worth it
so the suckers already had half health
and if he wants to do damage to me he's
gonna take another two and he does so
he's weakened to me twice here now what
that does is it just straight-up
weakens two of our things at random
there it is annoying but I think that we
got a lethal so it doesn't really matter
we do take that three damage even though
the fight is over so it's a bit rough
and that right there is why I left the
Apple on the ground
new shopkeeper new shopkeeper all right
cool
choices here target shield add blank to
the shield maximum of two reusable so
you can do put a one or two in there
like whenever you want let's step back
and analyze so the other sword is just a
better version of this it just is the
same thing but twice - the shield is a
good idea too
I'll I'll go for the straight upgrade
though like will be will be a little bit
a little bit of babyish for this first
step so you know we we went for the
double damage dealer spooky scary a
boomerang boy already so if we go this
way we unlock the shop and the Apple at
our disposal I'm all about that ooh
I'm dating music oh wow we roll one of
these probably not know it was a bad
idea so if we do this we could just fury
this sucker a lot of damage so that was
five plus two that was shoulda been 14
right I guess yeah of course it's 14
because we didn't do any other damage so
we got shocked shocked makes it show I
mean you'll see right here I'll be
easier to explain when you see it it
puts these up so that we will have to if
we if we want to use them then we have
to put a dice in there and basically
effectively waste it you know all right
what we got to do eight damage or we can
do twelve damage
I don't know man I don't love this
all right we'll take that that's fine I
think we level up after this I don't
remember I don't remember I wasn't
paying enough attention to that it's
really really important to pay attention
to that but I'm quite frankly I'm not
too worried we should have lethal just
like that the question is if we're gonna
level up or not after this and I think
we are not oh oh that is actually quite
a problem definitely use our Apple now a
lot of times later on there's apples in
the shop I don't know if there are now
okay double the poison this would be
better if you know we had had a way to
add poison nightstick shock the enemy
reusable that can be quite beneficial
but the healing crystal is just a nice
little safe bet and I'm going to replace
bummer at this point or actually yep I'm
gonna replace pump I was tempted to
replace staff it's it's not effectively
using all of our space but that's not
always that big of a deal
like if we get another single slot item
that's useful I'll I'll go for that but
for now we're gonna need to do some
pretty bangin damage all right so we
could do 20 damage and take ten or we
could just do 18 damage and not get the
screwed okay so we burned him there he
only has one die so he has to get burnt
if he wants to do anything and he will
do it just knowing the AI he has no way
of dealing at 14 damage to me so we are
gonna be actually a okay
and he just got the teleport spell the
way this guy works he can basically only
get one spell if he roll as a six then
he gains an extra die which can add up
to being what we like to call in the
business a freaking problem
all right good deal
that's a dead wizard right there level
four maxed out that by four and an extra
die now we get into what is one of my
favorite parts of the strategy is going
into upgrading things cuz you have
limited space at this point in the game
you have limited space so you need to
consider what do we really want upgrade
what are we gonna want to keep around
the sword is obviously a bad idea
broadsword it sounds fun but so basic
just to add one damage on every turn
effectively it's gonna be good healing
crystal actually reducing poison by one
and increasing the maximum one you can
put in max four means you can't put into
five or six you can only put in a four
or less it can be a big deal
boomerang can be a big deal as well I
think we're actually gonna go with the
boomerang because if we put a six in
that sucker and then we fury it that's
like that's 24 damage to them and only
six to me that can be really really
beneficial okay we're gonna do it
slap him okay look at that oh my god oh
my man so he's gonna put on some thorns
two thorns three thorns so now every
time we attack him we take three damage
jokes on him though I don't really care
I do I actually roll something low I
might as well try to rear all see if we
can get a three all right there we go
not a problem dad mr. cactus right there
six shooter at do a blank damage three
uses this turn but you have to have a
six in there this can be really good but
you kind of need to have it build
centered around it so if we get
something there's an item in there
that's kind of like this where if you
put a certain amount in you roll two
sixes I think you have to put in ten 10
pips and you roll two sixes that can be
really beneficial with six-shooter
something we don't have right now though
all right the hell is that
is that a trading shop or something I
I'm not sure lad bird let's see what do
you got man he looks the same good deal
if you roll if he puts in doubles he can
silence us which makes it so we can't
use our fury dodge demon attack on even
dodge any attack on either
and odd numbers so basically we kinda
just wanted to roll a bunch of odd or
even numbers is the ideal way to go but
I'm plaintiff I am okay that was a I was
probably a bad idea I guess but there we
go we could do that
hurry up that map map puts her sus in a
pretty good spot I guess he's 24 health
down another turn like that would be
good but he's definitely gonna throw the
light on he got the full suite of his
moves so that's fine this this enemy is
not a very aggressive one it's a very
like slow but sure creep towards demise
so we need to get rid of the Dodge I'll
just happily do that and I'm not gonna
we're not gonna waste that that's fine
we got guaranteed lethal next turn we're
not gonna be silenced for whatever
that's worth you know not a much because
we can't fury anyways
all right
first of all let's see if we can do this
in a way where we can heal okay so three
plus five if you buy damage by good
right oh okay do that in a way where we
can get a little bit of a heel out since
we have a bit left to go in our level
we'll see what the hell this sucker is
morning I'm the jack of one I'm Jack of
one trade and this is your one trade
that we can trade our staff for a toxic
ooze do blank damage on a six add to
poison that's a deal man unfortunately
we are about to fight two enemies who
are strong against poison side that was
it may be dumb I guess I was actually
quite dumb upgraded healing crystal
would be quite handy because both of
these enemies can poison us which poison
is very very scary in this game it
persists between turns
and it goes through shields which is not
much of an issue right now per se but it
can be Oh Mia mid-six nope
I'm not gonna chance the reroll there go
for this will do to poison to him boom
so basically we should have done that
first we could have gotten a fury huh so
he's got two poisons so he in theory
he's gonna lose two out but the start of
his turn but since he's wrong against
poison and tells you at the beginning
there he should only take one
yeah he only takes one we have lethal
next turn and it actually might be okay
that we didn't do our expiry currently
we are cursed though that is quite
annoying 50% chance when we use an
ability that it's just gonna not work
we're gonna it's gonna break
kind of hoping that was gonna be the
fizzle
Hey
don't love it don't love it wait what
why didn't do so much hold on hold on
hold on double it does double oh yeah is
twenty four is twenty four week period
we pureed it alright alright no duh
haunted jar what do you got sucker
okay max of three inflict poison double
poison 24 so this is a an enemy that you
really want to burn down quickly so if
you can get another six ideally actually
I'll save that three we don't really
need to worry about the poison too much
okay
definitely gonna get a little bit of a
poison here let's I think we're gonna be
able to kill him before he gets blight
done too
not too worried about it we got a fury
easy kill just guaranteed like we
shouldn't have fury it's a waste of fury
gonna save that resource for later okay
so now we can either do shield bash
needs doubles bash and she'll do blank
shield damage so you can stack up
shields they do persist through rounds
not through different fights they they
persist through turns is probably a
better way of saying it so you can stack
up a lot of shield and pop them or we
could just upgrade our equipment I don't
think there's a lot of enemies that
resist poison moving forward now I think
the most of them do appear on this floor
cut healing crystal is likely a safe bet
but I don't think we're gonna really run
into any poison
suckers I'm gonna go for the toxic ooze
what do you got for me here do blank
damage on 6 inflict a burn so it's just
the burn aversion of what we got right
now who the hell are you okay I level up
in 18 we do have to kill all of them but
then this is the final floor before the
final boss of this episode you got to be
strategic here paper Knight does a lot
of upfront damage this sucker okay we'll
do the new one because it unlocks the
Apple tap who the hell are you
boo de la you do for burn for for fire
damage inflict one burn mood change
change the weather recover three health
so I'm guessing boom-boom goat she goes
from left right one bum bum and then
mood change switch is something else
maybe like a shock or something like
that so maybe once again burning down
quickly might be the method of choice
kind of I keep this for the heel now who
cares
all right okay that's poison
now big big burst back to full health
just like that half health out of the
way we're gonna get the eight damage and
to burn here just you get the mood
change if we could kill next turn we're
basically doing an extra three damage
okay
so we do get fury all right we have
lethal but let's see do we have Leith
can we have lethal in a way that does
not hurt us with boomerang give me a six
do 20 damn it's just like that I mean
that's so easy dude five seven fourteen
I mean yeah fourteen that's not bad
alright give me a six give me six oh my
god I can't believe I actually get it
alright so that's 12 to 12 and then it's
6 poison so that's gonna be 18 she will
take the damage behind okay she's down
to 3 health effectively and then I might
as well take 2 damage to heal 3 it seems
a little weird but might as well I guess
that's that
easy-peasy there is strategy and
skipping some enemies like there's
something to it for sure just go for the
paper night a lot of times the shop on
this floor does have an apple in it I
don't know if that's been changed have
not played to this version I'm a little
spooky scared ok so this this anime can
lock your die so you can't use them
which is quite annoying and every turn
it can use this if it rolls an even
number so we ended almost definitely
take the 9 damage if she doesn't ever
roll an even number we're in a great
spot
let's just do big big damage in my
opinion right
Oh ideal actually give me it
what take it - we'll take it to heal all
right I think we can get lethal next
turn this is quite an aggressive
building gun all right we have fury
we've got fury saves up I think it's
quite worth it we can do a whoppin boom
boom that's enough right there if we
could get ourselves let's fish for a
three okay it's fine because the hell
does persist through through fights so
we want to make sure we heal herself up
like crazy but basically the next turn
that that would happen she would do
seven and then the next tournament would
be five down down them down down you
know so we could curse an enemy with
two's I kind of want to just go for an
upgrade here though
be a baby be a baby actually we could
just upgrade everything let's do that
could have checked out the upgrades on
these but I know that six-shooter isn't
that anything I think it just makes us
so we can do it more bump is not a bad
idea
because it makes it so you can just do
it twice on the same turn just good
value will come back and apply the Apple
as we will get a gold we'll get a gold
for fighting and killing the Kraken all
right all right sucker okay can blind
die which just literally covers them up
so we don't know what they are on the
warrior we can re-roll those and figure
out what they are that way overwhelm
some before this is an enemy you need to
kill fast so there's like there's
definitely an incentive on a lot of the
enemies to go quickly which is good oh
come on all right well I mean at least
we can heal ourselves for that man put a
big smack pretty big smack cuz if we if
we didn't have that it if the enemies
like had no incentive to go quick we
could just build a lot of really passive
simple builds like that all right
I'm willing to waste my reroll they
might be good but if we have no idea
what they are then quite frankly who
cares you know okay
we can unlock our fury or we can do 12
damage or we can do that and then that
it's good enough for me
good enough for me 24 we'll go back
we'll get ourselves the Apple double our
poison not I don't think we have a
poison focused enough build for that to
be valuable for us all right I don't
think we want to change anything nobody
I mean it's getting to the point where
it makes more sense to have six shooter
because we'd be roll more die but it's
just and we can go all freaking out on
this man because we will level up
afterwards okay that sucks
he does a lot of damage that's like his
big thing but
we do a lot per damage we do even a
loter boom
I'd say that's a guaranteed lethal next
turn we are gonna get cursed though so I
guess I shouldn't say guaranteed good
yep that's that kind of looking for six
alright I mean that's so lethal right
yeah it's still lethal heal for good
measure poison should finish it off
though inside every adventure is a
skeleton just waiting to get out max
level there we go we got our extra die
we are ready and raring to go the Apple
was put in a spot where we wouldn't have
been able to get it unless we went up
this way first which is you know it
wouldn't been a dumb idea but it's fine
warrior versus Audrey oh I think this
boss is actually strong - poison isn't
worth it though like cuz if she's strong
to poison it would make - it's one
damage - I think it's I think it's worth
it I could be wrong she might not be
strong the poison she's trying to poison
okay good alright great to see you just
a heads up I'm not gonna go easy on you
I hope you have done your stretches Oh
yikes okay well we got all a freaking
kinds of dice to work with which is
exciting
alright
might as well we can heal ourselves
quite easily here what are your moves
again do blank damage catch the Sheep
rolls for die okay we're gonna take a
wallet and I say it's worth it
I say it's worth it to do the 20 damage
just like that not save it up cuz we're
gonna we're gonna be well on our way to
getting our URI unlocked already okay
all in all this was a really that was a
really weak turn for for her for to you
I love this song oh it's such a freakin
Bop
and we get ourselves to kill this is a
very well rounded build we got you know
the the warrior character I I must
clarify just for those who are
potentially worried about complexity oh
it does get more complex with other
characters that for max damage get
ourselves fury other characters are way
more complex than the warrior here he's
meant to be the introduction character
just like that we beat our first episode
here in our in our first episode
