Wield magical dice and build a team of powerful Chimeras to stop a mysterious evil in this tactical roguelite adventure. As a Chimera Summoner, recruit and create your perfect team of mythical beasts and command them to victory using unique dice mechanics.
The core gameplay revolves around customizable dice that players use to control the actions of both their team and the enemy. This introduces a layer of strategic depth, as players must carefully manage and optimize the order in which dice resolve to minimize damage taken and maximize damage dealt. The ability to rotate and manipulate the enemy's actions adds an extra level of complexity, setting the game apart from traditional combat systems.
Players recruit from over 100 unique Chimera creatures, each with their own special abilities. Assembling a cohesive team that synergizes effectively is key to success. The risk/reward of choosing which Chimera to recruit at each encounter adds an engaging decision-making process to the gameplay loop. Reviewers praise the depth of the Chimeras' abilities and the potential for creating powerful combos, further enhanced by equipping them with various equipment.
The combat system requires players to think several moves ahead, optimizing the use of their dice to manipulate the flow of battle. Managing both your own and the enemy's actions adds a unique challenge, as players must carefully consider the order in which parties take their turns. The game's difficulty and strategic depth increase over time, with the optional "Trial Mode" providing an additional challenge that tests players' mastery of the mechanics.
Each run offers a unique experience due to the randomized Chimera encounters and map layouts. The variety of Chimeras and potential team compositions keep the gameplay fresh and engaging, encouraging players to experiment with different strategies. Reviewers appreciate the balance between randomness and player agency, as the game provides enough control to mitigate frustrating RNG outcomes.
