![]() ![]() Instead, Lost in Random leans heavily on this card battle mechanic, without taking it to the level of other deck building games. People looking for another game in which they can hack their way through enemies will likely be disappointed. These tactical gameplay mechanics are innovative – to say the least – but they can also become quite of a chore. Throw a low number or get dealt a bad hand, and you’ll have to scramble to get a new opportunity to strike again. Throw a high number and you’ll be able to string a few abilities together. Even comes equipped with battle trading cards that can be used to attack or defend, each with their own ‘price’. During combat sequences, throwing Dicey determines your possibilities. Instead of going for the straightforward approach where you just smack adversaries to their demise, Lost in Random leaves it to chance. ![]() Dicey’s abilities are the true innovation here. As I said before, Lost in Random is far from standard. It’s this quirky yet cute die (or dice, as everyone keeps calling it in-game) that changes everything. From that point on, Even is a Dice Wielder, a profession banned by the Queen herself. Luckily, help comes from an adorable die, which she names Dicey. But she’d be a fool to take on this quest alone. Leaving on a hunch and some weird spiritual guidance, Even must traverse through Two-Town, the war-torn town of Threedom, and Vegas-styled Fourburg to eventually make it to Sixtopia. But Even just feels something’s not right and heads out on a quest to get Odd back. After rolling a dubious six, the two sisters get separated, hardly giving them time to say their goodbyes. If the die shows a one, you’ll spend the rest of your life as a miserable Oner.Įven’s sister Odd is one of those kids who gets to roll the die. If the kid gets lucky and throws a six, a lavish life in royal Sixtopia awaits. One of Random’s rules states that a kid gets to throw a die on its twelfth birthday. Onecraft is literally the landfill of a realm named Random, which is ruled by the mighty Queen and managed by her lieutenant Nanny Fortuna. Lost in Radom tells the story of Even, a little girl living in a shithole called Onecraft. And it’s this twist that gives the game its charm, and it’ll even make you forgive them for dropping the ball here and there. Still, Zoink decided to roll the dice and dive headfirst into Lost in Random, a story-driven action-adventure with a twist. There are few studios brave enough to pull off shit like that, let alone studios working for huge AAA publishers. Take Zombie Vikings: Stab-a-thon for example. The guys and gals at Zoink are known for giving things a spin of their own. But I’d be selling the game short if I left it at that because Lost in Random is so much more than that. With its Burtonesk ambiance, Lost in Random fits the bill of being a strange-looking action-adventure. Lost in Random – Zoink’s latest creation – is no different in that area. With games like Stick it to The Man and Flipping Death, the studio has acquired quite a remarkable reputation. If you want a game to be quirky, you can leave it up to the Swedish people at Zoink to get the job done.
