Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Reviews
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is an action roguelike follow-up to the original that balances its narrative pull with some phenomenal combat.
You can employ your trusty die, Fortune, to spice up gameplay with a randomized twist.
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a slightly more accessible entry into the Roguelike genre that's a blast to play and rewards you with meaningful progression after each and every run. The charm of the original Lost In Random's gothic storybook meets Tim Burton movie is alive and well in The Eternal Die, though the narrative never really reaches anything special or poignant. Ultimately, however, this is still a pretty addictive and extremely replayable Roguelike that manages to bring fresh and interesting ideas to the party, and I always had a very good time with it.
Perhaps Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is too short for its genre. But the result of Zoik studio's work is more than enough for a relaxing time.

With excellent addictive and responsive gameplay, a compelling narrative, glorious sound and stellar voice acting, Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a game dying to kill you with its charm. An indie gem you should grab with both hands.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die isn’t literally a sequel, of course. It’s an interesting switch to a new genre, and a gamble that pays off. With its fast, challenging, colorful action and a unique setting, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die puts a compelling spin on familiar roguelike mechanics. Both fans of the genre and the first Lost in Random game should find plenty to enjoy.
Stormteller Games' Lost in Random: The Eternal Die fights, dodges, stings and hits hard to try and knock out rival Hades. It comes close to doing so thanks to convincing and compelling gameplay, but less deep and eclectic than Supergiant Games' masterpiece. Still, it remains an excellent product that fans of the genre should seriously consider.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die from developer Stormteller Games is a wonderful game on the Nintendo Switch 2, if you can get used to the Switch 2’s controls that come with it. Beyond that minor hiccup, the game still brings the same addictive gameplay experience and presentation as the bigger consoles. Having the game on the go is a huge plus as well.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a smart sequel. It leans on the original's strongest elements in the aesthetic and stylistic choices, whilst moving the gameplay into a new and entertaining direction. It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, though it does succeed at producing a high-quality product that feels good to play. Thanks to an interesting upgrade system and in-built chance mechanics, The Eternal Die stands out on its own and proves to be a game absolutely worthy of your time.
In a world where rogue-lites are a dime a dozen, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die stands out with its Relics system, fun combat, and solid presentation. It's no Hades (and the similarities are too obvious to ignore), but it's still enjoyable in its own right.
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is an intense action roguelike that blends challenge and RNG to perfectly suit its narrative and aesthetic themes.
It's certainly not fair to say that Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bad project-far from it-but there's a clear and undeniable sense that it's a far less daring effort than expected. That said, it remains a solid roguelite that, with a fair amount of cleverness, manages to attract genre fans thanks to a wide range of ability combinations and an element of unpredictability that enhances its overall replay value. Still, when considering the full narrative and artistic potential of the world of Alea-with its biting critiques and grotesque tales-it's hard not to feel a tinge of regret.

One of my favourite roguelikes of recent years, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die takes the world of 2021's excellent Lost in Random and turns it into something new. It's a whimsical, action-packed adventure, with combat that feels smooth and satisfying. Even facing the game's ferocious bosses is seriously exhilarating. It's just a shame there's not a little more variation between runs, but that's to be expected.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a great time for any fan of roguelites. It is, unashamedly, like Hades, but also a seriously fun time that I enjoyed almost every single moment of… aside from some of the glitches I ran into.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bold sequel that completely abandons the original's formula and manages to emerge victorious from this reinvention. By embracing the roguelite structure with a striking visual identity, creative combat mechanics and a high replayability factor, the game delivers a captivating and addictive experience. The variety of possible strategies, unpredictable encounters and immersive setting ensure a journey that is always fresh and intriguing. Although the randomness of the rewards can generate frustrating moments and the roguelite style naturally brings some repetition, the game makes up for it with constant progression, variety of content and its own personality, being a title that shines both in its gameplay and its style.

A short but engaging roguelite. Its mechanics are both immediate and layered, and it closes the adventures of Queen Alexandra very well after Lost in Random.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is one of the best action-packed combat-heavy roguelikes you can play and with hearty challenge to spare. 🎲
In a genre in which the games are looking ever more generic, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die manages to show its own qualities as a roguelite with charismatic characters and addicting combat mechanics. Beyond that, the way the premise fits the map randomization format and rewards is very satisfying.

Anyone with any interest in roguelikes like Hades will want to give it a whirl, while the dark fairy tale atmosphere will be appealing to others. The game wants to present a polished, not revolutionary, experience and manages to deliver on this in spades.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is an amazing roguelike adventure game. It is full of amazing lore, awesome weapons and endearing characters that should keep you coming back for more.
