Rune Dice released

In January I played the Rune Dice demo for more hours than is normal for any demo version of a game. This month the game released, and I bought it instantly, and played again for several hours. The core game has remained unchanged, but now Rune Dice has a proper Rogue-lite ongoing gameplay. By doing various things in each run, you unlock new runes, new relics, and new characters. You also level up your character class (regardless of subclass used), which gives you more health and better dice to start with. Rune Dice also now has 8 different character classes, with 3 subclasses each, as well as 3 different regions with 3 bosses each. So the replayability is way up from the demo. But then the demo was free, and the full game costs (a still very reasonable) $15, with another 15% off until Tuesday.

While it did happen this week that I played Rune Dice for several hours, I do appreciate that fundamentally a single run is well under 1 hour, even if you make it until the end boss. I can see this game staying on my desktop as an "in between" game, or when I don't have the energy to start something bigger. Chucking a few dice around and trying to cause chain reactions is always fun.
