I think Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a truly excellent RNG game that balances "luck" with strategy very well. Each character has their own playstyle that changes the game drastically in the decisions you make and why. Their abilities and dice builds are unique from each other and because of that each is their own learning experience.
I enjoyed the story. It's good and there's no heavy and pointless dialogue. The story pretty much just happens in the tutorial and when you beat the final boss. There are three chapters with one boss for each.
I found the tutorial clear and easy to follow to get started. The game does get advanced pretty quickly but it's mostly easy to understand and experiment with.
An aspect of the gameplay that I found interesting is that the longer a match goes on, the more powerful the dice you draw are.
There's a pet system where you can earn or purchase teammates that are called Sentinels. They have their own dice rolls and add extra attacks. They're pretty cool.
Some of the "upgrade" perks come with a negative effect that far outweighs the positive and that's annoying.
Overall, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is super fun and addictive. It's one of my most favorite games now. I started to play more TCGs trying to find more good games like this one and so far that has been impossible. I have enjoyed the other games but this one is really special and unique as well as just pure fun. The replay value is excellent.
I wanted to make this review longer and more in-depth but I just haven't gotten around to doing something like that and still wanted to share my thoughts on it. I expand on these thoughts a little bit in the vlog below. Thanks for reading. Game on.
