Critic Reviews for Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny
Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny brings forward a spiritual successor to the classic Nicktoons Unite franchise, but does it live up to the legacy?
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is loaded with nostalgia, callbacks to famous scenes and lines, but ultimately isn't as good as it could be. The limited fantasy setting, monotonous combat and underwhelming world map are helped slightly by its wonderfully authentic voices and fun story. If you grew up watching these cartoons, chances are you'll be charmed by the respect paid to them like I was, but find that the quest itself is not quite as good as just watching your favorite episodes again.
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny does have entertainment value to it, especially for a younger audience, but those looking for a nostalgic trip revisiting Nickelodeon characters might be a bit disappointed due to how basic the gameplay and levels are. There are also technical hitches that need to be addressed.
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny more than likely won’t compete with the likes of Diablo or Path of Exile, but it doesn’t need to. Its goal is smaller and more focused: to give Nickelodeon characters a new stage to play on while delivering a lighthearted RPG that works for both kids and nostalgic adults. On that front, it rolls a nat’ 20!
Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny is exactly what you're expecting it to be, and probably more! With standard ARPG elements mixed with classic characters from the Nickelodeon universe, this game straddles the line between compelling gameplay and frivolous fun. A great blend of nostalgia and gaming!
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny has some promise with its stacked cast of characters but never pulls the idea off.
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a lighthearted, accessible dungeon crawler meant for families and longtime Nick fans who want a colorful nostalgia trip. For kids, it's an exciting crossover packed with humor, fantasy, and familiar characters. For adults, it's a fun, but shallow experience best enjoyed with friends on the couch. Weaknesses like repetitive environments, simplistic mechanics, and limited progression systems are noticeable, yet when judged as a family-friendly romp, it succeeds where it matters most which is bringing beloved Nicktoons together in a way that celebrates their personalities while giving players an easygoing adventure. If you're a parent looking for a cooperative game to play with your kids, or a millennial eager for a nostalgia-fueled night with friends, rolling the dice on Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is worth the throw. Just don't expect it to be more than a light, breezy quest.
Fun action RPG that will take you on a journey through Nickelodeon-inspired fantasy lands
