By the Queen’s decree every citizen in the kingdom when they turn 12 rolls a 6-sided die, this will determine their social status and where they will live. You play as a girl named Even living on Onecroft but when your sister Odd turned 12, she managed to roll a 6 although a good thing you can’t help but feel uneasy, a year has passed, and Even has every reason to believe that Odd is in danger. After finding another magical dice, you begin your journey to finding your sister no matter the cost.

Reviews

Lost in Random isn’t a terribly long game. Even if you do keep the battles long by maintaining normal difficulty you can knock it off in around a dozen hours or so of gameplay time. By that stage, you probably won’t find the combat as charming as you did when you first started, but you’ll still want to see it to its conclusion, because the narrative and humour are so particularly strong.

Zoink has managed to hit on something original that actually works with Lost in Random. Its audiovisual world-building is tremendous, ably lifting a servicable quest structure and story, and inventive combat plays to its strengths and is taken carefully up to the limits of its potential. However, the layers of interaction during battles make a promise of strategic complexity that isn’t kept, and encounters last too long without the depth to sustain interest.

Nintendo Life

Each time you make some good progress, the game throws in a combat scenario that just takes all the wind out of your sails. It made me actively want to play the game in slower chunks, just not to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of these combat segments. Lost in Random definitely can hold its own against other titles and feels like a premium experience, but on it’s way there the balance between randomness and thought out design may have gotten a bit lost.
