Suprak the Stud 10/23/18 7:00:09 PM #49:	#8: King Dice Difficulty: 6/10 Design: 8/10 Fun Factor: 7/10 I'm Mr. King Dice I'm the gamest in the land I never play nice I'm the Devil's right hand man Ok, so I know his song isn't even a part of his fight, but how good is it? I love the general inspiration his deign gets from Cab Calloway, and you can definitely hear hints of Cab while the song is playing. I would just sit at each of the dice houses and wait for the song to be over before moving on, because I was worried if I talked to him it would stop the song. The music in general in the game is great, but this song is far and away the best. His overall design is great as well, but what really makes him stand out his how unique the fight is. He is sort of a mini-boss medley, with a total of nine different bosses you can fight against. You have to roll a dice to move a certain number of spots, and each specific spot either correlates to a free space of a specific boss. You won't fight King Dice himself until the end, and you'll have to face off against three different mini bosses on your way to him at the very least. They're clever about how the fights are organized though to keep you from just fighting the same over and over again. Specific spots will grant you one extra bit of health, which may be necessary considering how long this can wind up being. Each of the nine mini bosses are all casino themed in some way, and you'll face off against a cigar, an eight ball, a group of alcohol and a crane machine. Okay, so you usually don't see crane machines that much in a casino, but maybe they have a kid's section here. How nice of them! It definitely doesn't feel like they're being lazy with the bosses here either, as each one of them has a distinct style or attack pattern you you're not just fighting the same boss with different paint jobs. There's also a fun level of strategy that comes into play later on. Do you go for the extra heard if it is on a more difficult boss? Or do you take the easy fight to ensure you get out with as much health as you come in on? The variety here is great too, and some fights you will need to pilot a plane and match pictures while others will have you quickly hopping over some poker chips you can parry over. This, much more than the Devil, feels like it should be the final boss. It has a bit of everything, and feels like a great culmination of everything that's in the game. He is definitely more than a sum of his parts though, and while I really love the overall package I'm probably slightly less crazy about the individual bits and pieces. The fight against him is very basic, and each of his little minions really only have a single attack or two they use ad nauseam. Part of this is because they didn't want to make him impossible so the difficulty is turned down a lot on any one specific foe. It is definitely "smartest" to put him together this way so people aren't breaking stuff out of frustration, but because of this there really aren't any WOW phases of the fight. Still, it is a great fight overall and King Dice might be my favorite character in the game just for his song alone. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases?
