Most action-adventure games settle combat with a controller and reflexes alone. Lost in Random adds a genuinely different layer on top, a literal die roll that decides your options mid-fight, which turns out to be a distinctive hook rather than a gimmick.
Lost in Random, $20
Set in a gothic fairy-tale kingdom called Random, divided into six lands each ruled by the roll of a die, you follow a girl named Even searching for her sister, taken by the kingdom's ruling Queen at age twelve, as was always the case, chance decided it. Combat blends third-person action with a collectible card system, cards representing weapons and abilities are drawn based on a die roll each encounter, so no two fights play out with quite the same set of options available to you.
What makes it worth playing
The die-and-cards combat system is genuinely the game's own thing, not borrowed from a more famous title, and the fairy-tale-gone-wrong art direction and voice cast give the story real atmosphere throughout. If a straightforward action-adventure with a mechanical twist and a melancholy, storybook tone sounds appealing, this delivers on a concept few other games attempt.
