Summary

In this episode of Game Pass Grab Bag, the hosts discuss the game Dicey Dungeons and debate whether it qualifies as a roguelike. They also explore the gameplay mechanics and different characters in the game. The hosts recommend Dicey Dungeons as a fun and relaxing game to play in between other games. They also touch on the Halloween and Reunion DLCs and the role of RNG in the game. They share their frustrations with certain enemies and the lack of strategic depth in the game. Overall, they find the creature designs and enemy variety to be interesting. Dicey Dungeons is a fun and accessible game with a unique concept and charming art style. The music is fantastic and the game is easy to pick up and play. However, it lacks the depth and replayability of other roguelike games. It's a great game to play in short bursts, but it doesn't offer the same addictive gameplay as other titles in the genre.

Become the first human specter as you try to unravel the mystery behind the attacks of human colonies. Will you try to be paragon for the universe or get the job done no matter what as a renegade? Is this a story Keith actually listen to or did he just skip dialog like usual? Sorry it took Keith half the episode to realize his mic wasn't on.

So Keith decided to pick another roguelike, which surprises no one. This week we played Anvil by; Action Square. Anvil is a top down twin stick shooter, where you are controlling mechanized suits called Vault Breaker. Go on expeditions on alien planets in search of the vaults which hold advance technologies.
