While I don’t think The Eternal Die makes for a great starting point for the world of Lost in Random, it’s a more than worthy successor to the first game and a great introduction to roguelikes as a whole. I probably would have preferred a sequel be closer in style to the first game and expand further on the worldbuilding (The Eternal Die’s four floors are ultimately only aesthetically distinct from each other), but I quickly came round to what The Eternal Die offers from a gameplay stan...

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die has a well-crafted world, clever mechanics, and satisfying action. While it has its flaws, it’s a game that’s worth your time, whether you’re a fan of the action roguelite genre or not. Between the inventory management and its fascinating exploration of how to explain a roguelite mechanic through the game world, I hope many future titles in the genre are paying attention.

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 solid little rogue-lite, featuring the antagonist of the first game. That was a third-person action-adventure title. Here we’re in isometric camera land. It’s quick, is just the right length, and full of fun callbacks to the original. The screen can get a bit busy, and some might find it a smidge too easy. Let’s break down the good (lots) and bad (fewer lots).

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.

Breaking the mould and moving the series in a new direction, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bold new title for the Lost in Random franchise. Moving away from structured storytelling and into roguelike territory, this sequel finds a new way to paint its creepy world.

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 an enjoyable roguelike with satisfying gameplay loops, rewarding combat, and lots of features to unlock and upgrade, but the narrative-rich source material is overshadowed by a new focus on combat, largely wasting a concept ripe for more storytelling.

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.

One look at Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is likely to draw comparisons between it and Supergiant's Hades, and while that comparison does hold water, it's also a bit reductive. Instead, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die uses one of the action roguelike genre's exemplars as a starting point to build its legacy, one that uses a similarly strong combat sandbox and progression loop as its foundation. There's also a heavy narrative pull to be found in Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, but it's unfortunately mostly lost on anyone who hasn't played the original Lost in Random and...

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die has some of the best combat I've ever experienced in a Roguelike, and has loads of clever tricks up its sleeves.

While not a smash hit, the 2021 EA Originals release Lost in Random has earned a modest yet dedicated fanbase thanks to its memorable Tim-Burton-meets-Double-Fine setting and unique combat system that incorporates cards, dice rolls, and other board-gamey elements. In the years since its release, the main creative minds behind Lost in Random went their own way, recently releasing a rather charming little horror game called The Midnight Walk, while original Lost in Random developer Zoink (now merged with another studio and rebranded as Stormteller Games) have opted to take the series in a new direction.

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.
