Slice & Dice 4+

It’s quite rare for me to find myself completely addicted to a video game, but this one has me absolutely hooked. It probably won’t have the same effect on everyone who picks it up, but if you are the target audience then you will be sucked in for hours.

The initial concept is deceivingly simple, but has been completely fleshed out by the developers. Beware, this is not a roleplaying game, it’s practically completely gameplay oriented aside from the setting.

Cannot recommend this enough, although it might not be for you if you find the tutorial confusing…

It’s a cool idea but it’s hindered by things not being adequately communicated and things are confused For instance if you hold down on an enemy they will show who they're attacking but the lines are different colours, why are they different colours, the colours are for the class of hero, does it make a difference? It might do but it’s not communicated, I don’t know if they lack all sense of UX in one way or lack it in another You’re rolling dice and the tutorial is in the way? Well you can close it but oops it seems to prefer tapping dice over the x and now you’ve got a dud die, now it would be dumb if the game didn’t let you put the die back… oh wait when you tap it you’re stuck with it. Well if you were to tap the x on the tutorial to see the die underneath you’ll find an option to close it, close it for good, and close it, hmm that feels familiar The developer should hire a UX person to overhaul the game. The game itself is neat, it’s new, I like the item system, I like the classes, I like the possible rolls, I just really really hate the UI and it’s stopping me from wanting to play again The game is free to try, so do give it a go, just hope that in the future the UI is fixed and it doesn’t make you think “ah they went with pixel graphics because they thought it would be the easiest option”
