Dice Legacy
DIE HARD
In city builder DICE LEGACY, you win or you die
By Tom Sykes
Don’t let Dice Legacy deceive you, as it did me. It’s not a chill city builder, with a couple of quirky features and nascent roguelike elements. No, it’s a pitched battle for survival, pitting your dicey tribe against the winter and, eventually, a rival settlement. You’re not ( just) building a cute medieval town by plonking dice down on a dizzying ringworld planet – you’re building a machine to take your enemies, The Others, down.
You’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise, given how sedately Dice Legacy starts. Parking your ship by a curved landmass, you soon go about the usual colony stuff: building a house and assigning workers to essential tasks. Food needs to be hunted, wood gathered and so on. But here your people are represented by colourful dice.
