1/3 Dicefolk makes you play the enemy's dice too. In this monster-battling roguelite, you choose when both sides use their rolled actions. Normally, every enemy move must resolve before the turn ends. That turns a roll into a timing puzzle.
Official Dicefolk promotional screenshot: two teams of three creatures face each other in a red desert canyon. An attack hits the birdlike Rhamphos for 5 damage. Health bars appear below each creature, with action dice for both sides along the bottom.
