Developer Terry Cavanagh is liable for two of my all-time favorite games: Super Hexagon, which kicked off a wave of super hardcore twitchy arcade video games, and VVVVVV which is basically the Citizen Kane of gravity-flipping platformers. Way back in May of 2018 Terry a new project called Dicey Dungeons which began out as a 7DRL game jam recreation. The plan was to flesh out the sport jam version for a bit and then release the game on PC, with cell and console ports to observe sometime after. Given my love for earlier Terry Cavanagh games, I was pretty darn excited for Dicey Dungeons.
The PC version was initially imagined to launch before the tip 2018, however, well, recreation development is a fickle beast and it wasn’t until the summer time of 2019 that it formally. In November of that yr the plan was for the cell and Nintendo Switch versions to. The Switch version did make that window, simply barely, launching in December of 2020 and our personal Shaun Musgrave really dug it in his from back then. Here’s the Switch trailer so you could get an concept of Dicey Dungeons in action.
Since the Switch model Dicey Dungeons has continued to receive new content material and updates and it additionally launched on the Xbox platform late last yr, and it’s even part of Game Pass if you’re a subscriber and need to give it a shot over there. However, to paraphrase Helen Lovejoy from The Simpsons, “Won’t somebody PLEASE think about the cellular gamers!?” Dicey Dungeons is a sport that seems like an absolute good match on cell, and but it’s taken the longest for it to reach right here. But our lengthy national nightmare will soon be over, as some useful members have relayed from the official Dicey Dungeon Discord server (the ), Terry is targeted on finishing the cellular variations.
How finished? Well the mobile model is currently in testing and, at least for now, these check builds are open to the general public. So if you want to give it a shot for yourself and provide some feedback to help make the mobile launch of Dicey Dungeons be the best that it can be, to decide on both iOS or Android and observe the short directions to seize the newest build. So far impressions of the cellular version are that it’s certainly the right platform for the game so hopefully it won’t be too much longer earlier than all of us finally have the complete release of Dicey Dungeons on our mobile units.
