Twas I who named him (I wanted a pun on Lich and I m fairly sure we ve done Lich My Balls several times before) and twas I who led him to his death a whole six rooms away from his cell… And twas I who then resurrected him as a wizard and got him killed again, a mere five minutes later.

The Details

15, 2026 Follow The Fortress Alas and alack for Lickity Split, knight hero of The Fortress, prisoner of a villainous Sorceror King. Lickity Split appears to have trash luck, if not an actual Luck stat, and The Fortress is a dungeon crawler with a murderous fixation on dice.

As regards the opening stretch of the Steam demo , at least, each fight sees you rolling dice of three different colours, then spending their pips to attack enemies with health points of the same colour. If the colours don t match up, you ll have to end the turn and take damage.

Why This Matters

The get-out clause is that any unused dice fill up a Super Mega Ultra AOE Attack gauge when you end the turn. This dishes out punishment without regard for niceties of coloration. That s not much consolation if you get hacked to death before the gauge fills completely, though.

The gaming community has been watching developments like this closely.

Key Takeaways

• I thought he was doing pretty well until he ran into that ghost dog.
• There are nine character classes in The Fortress, each of which favours a different dice hue, or combination of hues.
• There are also three slots for equipment pieces that modify the dice, or confer shorter-lived benefits.
• A rusty shield will cancel one incoming attack before disintegrating; an enchanted scroll will add a pip to your blue magic die.

The Bottom Line

There are also three slots for equipment pieces that modify the dice, or confer shorter-lived benefits. A rusty shield will cancel one incoming attack before disintegrating; an enchanted scroll will add a pip to your blue magic die.
