Have you ever played a game and thought, wow, what story, universes and cool characters... but why hell is a video game? If you have never asked yourself the question before, you are lucky. If you play Lost in Random, I promise you that you will have this revelation.
You see, Lost in Random of Oink! At an absolutely singular look, a classic history of dark fairy tale, excellent music and entertaining dubbing. He weaves an extensive narrative through a richly imagined world, and he has an important subsection that aims to say something important about life and chance. But somewhere, all this kindness has been diverted into a game with uninteresting mechanisms and frustrating and tedious fighting. It is in a way the antithesis of all these terrible action films based on popular games. Yeah, we look at you, Mortal Kombat.
Lost in Random is the trip of a classic hero, in this case a girl named Even in the main role, while she starts in a long quest to save her older brother, Odd. ODD was twelve years old and the Queen of the Kingdom of Chance appears the day of the Odd's birthday so that the girl throws the magic dice, whose result will determine where she must live his life. ODD gets a six and is taken to the Kingdom of the Queen, essentially kidnapped. Even sneaked out of his house in the middle of the night, determined to find his way to the country of the six and to recover his sister. Because the hero's journey requires an ally, Even Dating Dicey, the last seemingly surviving member of an enchanted magic dice breed, relics of a longer time lost long before the queen reigns over the country.
The story of Lost in Random takes not only the classical hero journey, but also other models of proven history, such as vanity abroad in a strange country so popular in fantasy. Sometimes recalling the nightmare before Tim Burton Christmas, a fairy tale from the Grimm brothers to his most macabre, or a tripping dream of Lewis Carroll through the glass, Lost in Random is full of strangeness every turn. The characters are strange, distortions of organic life and inanimate objects and the world itself is sometimes literally upside down, with paths that turn in circles or nowhere in particular. Many people have strange things to say or absurd comments to do. Despite the whimsical elements, the voyage of Even through the different dice districts is coherent narrative, interrupted at certain times by dream sequences that amplify the emotional weight of the trip or give Even indices, or at least hope and motivation.
The developers did a really remarkable job to give life to this vision, and the game has many moments of a strange beauty. The menagerie DES characters and environments are grotesque and a little frightening, but still interesting to watch, and bad mood lights up a lot of intriguing shadows. Blake Robinson literally pointed out Lost in Random with music always at the edge of the strange, while simultaneously helping us give a sense of the world through the use of repeated patterns.
Where Lost in Random is struggling makes the voyage of Even interesting for the player. Although there are divergent secondary quests that really do not represent much, the story is as linear as a book of tales and there is no imperious reason, opportunity or reward to explore freely. With this narrow approach comes the feeling that every action is a busy superficial work, right there to unlock the next piece of predetermined narrative, blocked artificially to give the player something to do. You know, to make a game, and not just a movie.
Well too often, this thing to do is fight against an endless series of repetitive robotic enemies. Almost every meeting is the same. Uses even his sling to drop blue crystals on an enemy, she or Dicey recovers the crystals and after a while, she has enough to start a card fighting system. The cards give it temporary powers or buffs or a small amount of care. Most battles involve two or three waves of enemies, but the rhythm and feeling of the fight never change. After a few hours, I dread absolutely the next combat section, partly thanks to the slow and limited ability of Even to move during the fight and the sometimes small arenas that trapped the camera behind the walls, adding to frustration. From time to time, Even engages in a kind of boss battle that takes place on an oversized game board, where every wave of vanquished enemies moves his playing piece. Boss's fighting are extended and more difficult, But they often use minor variations of the same mechanisms and tactics as all other fights. For a game whose central thesis is to learn to live with the chance of life, ironically, almost nothing is left at random in the gameplay, with the exception possibly different versions available in the card game that Even finds, buys or wins.
I think if you translate the dark narration of Lost in Random and its strangely engaging style engaging in a stop-motion animation film, it would be a powerful exploration of a heartbreaking trip and sometimes poignant through a world to the reversed by the disorder. There is also a lot of this vanity in the game, but it is made less striking through warm mechanisms and tedious and ingrate fights. The story and the setting absolutely worth being lived, but there is probably a chance that you are also disappointed by the gameplay you are delighted by history.
