Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Reviews
While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die delivers a roguelike experience with a distinct personality. Its clever upgrade system adds a strategic twist to the familiar gameplay, and the Burton-inspired art style creates a captivating world. A solid recommendation for anyone seeking an accessible yet characterful roguelike.

Lost In Random: The Eternal Die manages to be an enjoyable roguelike at times, with design values carried faithfully from its predecessor giving it a stunning look and feel – despite this, the game fails to deliver anything new and captivating to the genre.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers a challenging and varied gameplay loop with strategic combat and engaging mechanics, though its fragmented storytelling makes it hard to connect with protagonist Aleksandra despite the lore-filled world.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is one of the most successful Hades-like experiences. Despite the complexity of the development process, Stormteller Games and Thunderful have succeeded in the far from easy task of creating a fun and immediate product that manages to carve out its own place in the increasingly crowded roguelike landscape.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers a solid formula that blends intense action with elements of luck in a dark and stylized universe. The striking setting, variety of weapons, and customization options provide enjoyable moments throughout the campaign. The combat stands out for being fast-paced and challenging, and although the dice mechanics aren’t as influential as promised, there’s still room to experiment with different battle approaches. However, the experience is limited by repetitive environments and enemies, as well as a progression system that’s less deep than it seems. The unpredictability hinted at by the theme rarely has a significant impact on gameplay, diminishing the player's decisions. Still, while it lasts, The Eternal Die offers an engaging journey, appreciated for its aesthetic and pace, even if it doesn't take as many risks as it could have.

Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a fun roguelite jaunt at most, with some polish and tweaks that are welcome in the genre. You'll make good progress with the game's story while also revelling in its intense action and temporary roguelite power-up system that's in tune with its analog gaming backdrop. It's not a royal flush, but it's a steady hand that's enough to sate your roguelite action-heavy tendencies.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die has some of the best combat I've ever experienced in a Roguelike, and has loads of clever tricks up its sleeves.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a short, fun experience. It takes all the classic elements of the roguelite genre and meshes them into this world seamlessly. It’s well worth checking out whether at full price or via Game Pass.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is not a simple sequel, but a bold evolution of the unusual universe of Lost in Random. It shifts perspective, tone, and structure, yet remains surprisingly coherent at its core. Aleksandra is a strong protagonist, the new system of relics, cards, and dice mechanics feels well thought-out, and the four biomes are challenging without being frustrating. Above all, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die just feels right.
