### 5/5 — 🔥🔥

*2025-11-29, version 1.1*

Love this game. It’s an interesting one and def worth the money. I wish there was another mode so that it does not reset every time you die. But that’s also the interesting about this game as well

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-11-18, version 1.1*

Great game that I can play for hours and not get bored. I find myself picking this game up now whenever I have free time. The shrines aspect make it so each run is different and your always trying to spawn one of the rare upgraded forms of the chimeras. Great idea great execution

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-11-15, version 1.1*

Game mechanics are fun to play with, unique game, addictive

### 5/5 — 이런 게임이 많이 알려져야 됨

*2025-11-15*

이거 다운받은 뒤로 앱스토어 유목민에서 정착했음. 포켓몬처럼 3마리 몬스터를 조합해서 스테이지를 깨야 되는 게임인데 개발자가 선택의 재미를 매우 잘 살려서 몰입감이 좋음. 컨텐츠도 충분히 많아서 돈값함. 모든 키메라 해금하고 시련 5까지 밀고 있는데, 경우의 수가 많아서 아직까지 질리지 않고 매판 새로운 재미를 느끼고 있음.

### 5/5 — Images Don’t Do It Justice

*2025-11-04, version 1.1*

Another classic along the lines of slay the spire and monster train. I think I actually like it better than both of them. I think it really improves on the pick up and play aspect of the genre, while still have lots of depth and just the right amount of meta ‘progression’ in that you unlock new content as you play while also including minor check the box type tasks that make trying new builds on each new run worthwhile. 

If you like monster train or slay the spire, this is definitely a download and try. If you enjoy the first play through, it’s for sure worth $5. No questions asked.

In a time where unity mobile game slop is bogging down the App Store, it’s always nice to find a gem!

### 5/5 — A true gem of the iOS App Store

*2025-10-31, version 1.1*

Easily the best game I discovered this year. Well designed and executed. Reasonably priced. I am lucky to have found this

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Game

*2025-10-30, version 1.1*

I was looking for something to pass the time during the day and avoid atrociously expensive micro transactions from free phone games. This is a cheap game that provides hundreds of hours of gameplay. Simple game to learn with lots of potential for complexity.

### 5/5 — Great game with 1 BIG problem!*edited* now fixed

*2025-10-29, version 1.1*

This is a great roguelike dice game like a few others out there but with a unique battle system. The only issue I have with this great game is that you need an online connection to play it, it baffles me why this needs to be implemented. Has now been updated to work offline. Would definitely recommend this game now it’s great fun!

### 5/5 — Yes Please

*2025-10-28, version 1.0*

This is the type of games we need more of on the App Store. No pay to win stuff, just pay once and enjoy. I love the art and gameplay, very intuitive^-^

### 5/5 — Try it. Buy it.

*2025-10-26, version 1.0*

One of the best games on the App Store. Strategic. Fun. Works great on the iPhone screen. (Some buttons are a little tiny, but it’s manageable.) NO IAP except one $5 purchase of the full game. Plenty of trial content. 

Support developers that don’t abuse the art of game design with micro transaction malarkey. Put money into complete experiences.

### 5/5 — Love New Indie dropping on mobile

*2025-10-25, version 1.0*

Downloaded as soon as I saw it hit and have only played the trial but this is definitely one going on my to buy asap list!! Already diggin it!

### 5/5 — Fun and New

*2025-10-24, version 1.0*

Its a new type of strategy game. Pretty fun and easy to understand.

### 1/5 — Achievement Bugged

*2026-07-07*

48/49 achievements. Last one is called Dicefolk Legends: Unlock all achievements. I have achieved everything else so what else am I missing to get that last one?

Good game. Liked it till now. Very unbalanced. Some chimeras are super strong while others are useless. RNG based. Dices are unforgiving. When you get to the last trial good luck! I tried beating the last trial with each relic but it’s just not fun and frustrating trying to do the Storm Relic.

The Storm Relic for last trial goes against a boss with bleed. Bleed damages when rotating. Storm Relic specializes in rotation. Rotation is basically useless. Doable but super difficult, you’re going to have to try a lot of times. Just know you’re going to lose more than win.

There are some fun parts that I enjoy a lot. When you get OP chimeras it’s very easy to beat the final boss.

### 1/5 — Update broke the game

*2025-10-31, version 1.1*

Really enjoyed the trial run and bought the full game afterwards, just updated and now it crashes on launch every time! Will update review to 5 stars if fixed

### 1/5 — Not Full Game

*2025-10-25, version 1.0*

It isn’t the full game. The full game must be purchased. Free is a lie.

### 2/5 — 面白くない

*2026-03-24*

結論から言います。面白くないです。このゲーム裏ボスまでクリアして、有料版を結構な時間プレイしました。それだけプレイしたのに、面白くないと思った理由として、下記が挙げられます。

①バランス調整不足。
キメラの能力に差がありすぎる。体感8〜9割のキメラは弱くて使えないので、ストレスが溜まる。

②装備アイテムで全てが決まる
このゲームには装備アイテムが存在し、1体のキメラに5つまで装備させられるのですが、その装備アイテムが強すぎます。どんなキメラを引くかというよりも、どんな装備アイテムを引くか、それだけです。キメラの個性も殺してしまっていて、つまらなかったです。

### 3/5 — どうあっても運ゲー

*2026-03-21*

ある程度デッキもキャラも解放する程度に進めても、シナジーの高いキメラとアイテムが揃わないとクリアは出来ない。
攻略を重ねてスタメンを指名出来るようなこともないのでただただ運に任せて周回するしかないが、かなりの低い確率でしか相性が噛み合うこともないのでプレイするのも億劫になる。

### 4/5 — I love this game but found a bug

*2026-03-10, version 1.1*

I was very excited to get Dicefolk on IOS after playing it on both steam and switch. However in my first fun playing the warrior talisman I’m having a glitch where glavichtus isn’t triggering every time it should. In a turn where I have two of its teammates attack, glavichtus will only attack with the first one and not the second, even though it’s not in the front.

### 4/5 — DLC

*2025-12-12*

Si ponen el dlc me lo compro sino meh.

### 5/5 — Criminally underplayed

*2026-04-20, version 1.1*

Just noticing this game has only 45 reviews… if you’ve been suckered into buying even A SINGLE in-app purchase, on one of the MANY slop fest games that are being pushed by the non-stop ads we now experience as consumers, I urge you to next time, instead, buy this.

### 5/5 — Beyond worth it

*2026-01-29, version 1.1*

This game is phenomenal. Despite it being a dice game with inherent randomness, they’ve managed to build the mechanics in a way where you have so much agency. I’ve never felt like I lost because I got unlucky, it’s usually clear where I made a mistake. This makes each battle a super satisfying puzzle to solve. On top of the good foundation, they packed so much content in this game. There are so many chimeras, equipment, dice and classes to mix and match that each run feels genuinely unique. You can tell the devs poured their hearts and souls into this gem of a game and for only $5 I cannot recommend it enough.

### 5/5 — Great ipad game

*2026-01-23, version 1.1*

Really recomend for 5£. Easily 20h+ if not 50h. Nice rougelite and cute art.

### 5/5 — Crazy good…

*2026-01-05, version 1.1*

Been playing for weeks and finished all the trials and challenges now and I honestly can’t get enough. I get bored and move on pretty quick but man this one really has me hooked, it’s been a minute since I’ve looked forward to sitting down and playing a game.  I rarely leave reviews but this one is worthy

### 5/5 — とりあえず体験版をプレイしてみて

*2025-12-22*

相手の行動も決められるデッキ構築ローグライク的なゲーム。1戦は数分でテンポ良く進み、バランスもちょうど良い。隠れた名作だと思う。

### 5/5 — Clever and fun

*2025-12-20, version 1.1*

A simple game but repeat playable. Really should have more plays and more reviews. I think the developer did a great job. Full game is affordable and no ads. Give it a try you’ll enjoy yourself.

### 5/5 — One of the best mobile strategy games I’ve ever played!

*2025-12-19, version 1.1*

Overview: Dicefolk is an excellent mobile strategy “pet-battler” and is a text book example of how to correctly make games for portable devices. It’s engaging, well executed, and absolutely worth the price tag.

Cons (let’s get them over with):
- The story (if you even care) is almost entirely in text documents you randomly unlock. This left me feeling unsatisfied so I eventually just ignored the lore entirely.
- It’s lacking some QoL features but the game hasn’t been out long so I’ll look forward to future updates.

Pros:
- The pets (aka Chimeras) are well balanced and most that seem to suck at first glance actually play well with specific loadouts or mechanics. I enjoyed the variety of playstyles, it’s similar to how Magic: The Gather has different deck types.
- The game balancing is generally fantastic! It balances the line between the player feeling like the underdog and also an elite fighting team perfectly.
- Progression is great! It’s moderately challenging but not overly repetitive. You’re given a single goal (progress to a certain point and defeat a boss) and just when the game feels complete you’re given even more content (pets, items, etc.) and unique challenge modes for replayability.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2025-12-15, version 1.1*

While looking for the monster train sequel I found this absolute gem of a game. The best way to describe it is a combination of Astrea and the six sided oracles and Pokémon. 

It’s an absolute must play! Lots of depth with over 100 chimeras (monsters) and another 100 plus items to equip to keep the game play fresh. Plus it’s a rogue like! Every run will be different 

Throw in 7 different teams to choose from all with their own unique play styles, a special and trial mode.. this game will have you hooked for many hours! 

I genuinely don’t understand why this is not in a top ten game list. My only complaint is why is there no DLC and please make a sequel. I payed £5 for the game at the time and it’s an absolute bargain. 5 out of 5 must buy must play mobile game gold!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-12-14, version 1.1*

It’s a simple 5/5 mobile roguelike game. No frills. Try it. Buy the game from an indie developer. Play for way more hours than you should.

### 5/5 — 需要竖屏模式
