Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is an intense action roguelike that blends challenge and RNG to perfectly suit its narrative and aesthetic themes.
COGconnected - Mark Steighner - 79 / 100
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die isn’t literally a sequel, of course. It’s an interesting switch to a new genre, and a gamble that pays off. With its fast, challenging, colorful action and a unique setting, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die puts a compelling spin on familiar roguelike mechanics. Both fans of the genre and the first Lost in Random game should find plenty to enjoy.
Checkpoint Gaming - Elliot Attard - 8.5 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a smart sequel. It leans on the original's strongest elements in the aesthetic and stylistic choices, whilst moving the gameplay into a new and entertaining direction. It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, though it does succeed at producing a high-quality product that feels good to play. Thanks to an interesting upgrade system and in-built chance mechanics, The Eternal Die stands out on its own and proves to be a game absolutely worthy of your time.
Console-Tribe - Simone Cantini - Italian - 75 / 100
While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die delivers a roguelike experience with a distinct personality. Its clever upgrade system adds a strategic twist to the familiar gameplay, and the Burton-inspired art style creates a captivating world. A solid recommendation for anyone seeking an accessible yet characterful roguelike.
Digital Chumps - Nathaniel Stevens - 9 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, developed by Stormteller Games, is a far deeper and richer action roguelite experience than expected. It has quick-moving action with a healthy amount of good progression to keep gamers coming back for more. The upgrade system helps enhance the experience and works more often than it doesn’t. Regardless, this game is fun to play and something gamers can get lost in for hours and hours.
DualShockers - Ethan Krieger - 8.5 / 10
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a slightly more accessible entry into the Roguelike genre that's a blast to play and rewards you with meaningful progression after each and every run. The charm of the original Lost In Random's gothic storybook meets Tim Burton movie is alive and well in The Eternal Die, though the narrative never really reaches anything special or poignant. Ultimately, however, this is still a pretty addictive and extremely replayable Roguelike that manages to bring fresh and interesting ideas to the party, and I always had a very good time with it.
GameBlast - Farley Santos - Portuguese - 8 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers a solid formula that blends intense action with elements of luck in a dark and stylized universe. The striking setting, variety of weapons, and customization options provide enjoyable moments throughout the campaign. The combat stands out for being fast-paced and challenging, and although the dice mechanics aren’t as influential as promised, there’s still room to experiment with different battle approaches. However, the experience is limited by repetitive environments and enemies, as well as a progression system that’s less deep than it seems. The unpredictability hinted at by the theme rarely has a significant impact on gameplay, diminishing the player's decisions. Still, while it lasts, The Eternal Die offers an engaging journey, appreciated for its aesthetic and pace, even if it doesn't take as many risks as it could have.
GameFM - Douglas Souza Dos Santos - Portuguese - 7.5 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a fun and well-structured roguelite, with a narrative that, although simple, works efficiently as a backdrop for the experience. However, despite the good start, the experience loses strength over time. The repetition of rooms, the limited variety of enemies and the shallow randomization cycles make the gameplay tiresome. In the end, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die delivers a solid foundation, with creative ideas and a striking visual style, but stumbles precisely in the execution of its randomization systems - the central and vital element for a roguelite, compromising the depth of the experience.
GameGrin - Dylan Pamintuan - 8 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a great time for any fan of roguelites. It is, unashamedly, like Hades, but also a seriously fun time that I enjoyed almost every single moment of… aside from some of the glitches I ran into.
Perhaps Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is too short for its genre. But the result of Zoik studio's work is more than enough for a relaxing time.
GameSpew - Kim Snaith - 8 / 10
One of my favourite roguelikes of recent years, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die takes the world of 2021's excellent Lost in Random and turns it into something new. It's a whimsical, action-packed adventure, with combat that feels smooth and satisfying. Even facing the game's ferocious bosses is seriously exhilarating. It's just a shame there's not a little more variation between runs, but that's to be expected.
Gameliner - Philip Zeldenthuis - Dutch - 4 / 5
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die offers a challenging and varied gameplay loop with strategic combat and engaging mechanics, though its fragmented storytelling makes it hard to connect with protagonist Aleksandra despite the lore-filled world.
Gamepressure - Matt Buckley - 8 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die has a well-crafted world, clever mechanics, and satisfying action. While it has its flaws, it’s a game that’s worth your time, whether you’re a fan of the action roguelite genre or not. Between the inventory management and its fascinating exploration of how to explain a roguelite mechanic through the game world, I hope many future titles in the genre are paying attention.

You can employ your trusty die, Fortune, to spice up gameplay with a randomized twist.
GamingBolt - Ravi Sinha - 8 / 10
In a world where rogue-lites are a dime a dozen, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die stands out with its Relics system, fun combat, and solid presentation. It's no Hades (and the similarities are too obvious to ignore), but it's still enjoyable in its own right.
Hinsusta - Sebastian Motter - German - 8 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is not a simple sequel, but a bold evolution of the unusual universe of Lost in Random. It shifts perspective, tone, and structure, yet remains surprisingly coherent at its core. Aleksandra is a strong protagonist, the new system of relics, cards, and dice mechanics feels well thought-out, and the four biomes are challenging without being frustrating. Above all, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die just feels right.
IGN Italy - Alessandra Borgonovo - Italian - 8 / 10
A short but engaging roguelite. Its mechanics are both immediate and layered, and it closes the adventures of Queen Alexandra very well after Lost in Random.
Kakuchopurei - Jonathan Toyad - 70 / 100
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a fun roguelite jaunt at most, with some polish and tweaks that are welcome in the genre. You'll make good progress with the game's story while also revelling in its intense action and temporary roguelite power-up system that's in tune with its analog gaming backdrop. It's not a royal flush, but it's a steady hand that's enough to sate your roguelite action-heavy tendencies.
LadiesGamers.com - James Luff - Liked-a-lot
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die doesn’t try to revolutionise the roguelite genre, but it doesn’t need to. Its combination of stylish presentation, solid combat, and clever mechanics makes it a worthy addition to the genre. If you’re feeling burnt out on roguelikes, it might not reignite your passion, but for fans of the format or the world of Lost in Random, it’s an easy recommendation.
Loot Level Chill - Lyle Pendle - 9 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die has some of the best combat I've ever experienced in a Roguelike, and has loads of clever tricks up its sleeves.
Nindie Spotlight - Justin Nation - 9.2 / 10
Running with the characters and lore from Lost in Random, the move to roguelike action is a reasonably-good one
PSX Brasil - Bruno Ribeiro - Portuguese - 95 / 100
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bold sequel that completely abandons the original's formula and manages to emerge victorious from this reinvention. By embracing the roguelite structure with a striking visual identity, creative combat mechanics and a high replayability factor, the game delivers a captivating and addictive experience. The variety of possible strategies, unpredictable encounters and immersive setting ensure a journey that is always fresh and intriguing. Although the randomness of the rewards can generate frustrating moments and the roguelite style naturally brings some repetition, the game makes up for it with constant progression, variety of content and its own personality, being a title that shines both in its gameplay and its style.
PlayStation Universe - Tony Colton - 9 / 10
With excellent addictive and responsive gameplay, a compelling narrative, glorious sound and stellar voice acting, Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is a game dying to kill you with its charm. An indie gem you should grab with both hands.
So Many Games - Steven Landray - 3.5 / 5
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die manages to be an enjoyable roguelike at times, with design values carried faithfully from its predecessor giving it a stunning look and feel – despite this, the game fails to deliver anything new and captivating to the genre.
Spaziogames - Marino Puntorieri - Italian - 7.4 / 10
It's certainly not fair to say that Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bad project-far from it-but there's a clear and undeniable sense that it's a far less daring effort than expected. That said, it remains a solid roguelite that, with a fair amount of cleverness, manages to attract genre fans thanks to a wide range of ability combinations and an element of unpredictability that enhances its overall replay value. Still, when considering the full narrative and artistic potential of the world of Alea-with its biting critiques and grotesque tales-it's hard not to feel a tinge of regret.
The Games Machine - Daniele Cucchiarelli - Italian - 8 / 10
Stormteller Games' Lost in Random: The Eternal Die fights, dodges, stings and hits hard to try and knock out rival Hades. It comes close to doing so thanks to convincing and compelling gameplay, but less deep and eclectic than Supergiant Games' masterpiece. Still, it remains an excellent product that fans of the genre should seriously consider.
For the story side of things, the game is amazing. I was excited to learn more about the tragedy that happened to Queen Aleksandra in the first games. And more so on finding out how the world of Random was created. Gameplay-wise it’s solid, but it does also feel less random with not a lot changing between runs. But that doesn’t take away from the great combat and fun abilities you’re able to combo together. I would say the last boss was a little bit of a letdown. However, I love the Duke & Duchess boss as I felt it suited the theme of Randomness world perfectly. And not just from a story standpoint, but in combat as well. If you loved the first game, then I’d highly suggest Lost in Random: The Eternal Die just for the bits of lore alone.
Playing new games, there’s always a chance that it’s not the one. Luckily enough, the game rolled a six with me.
And that’s why Lost in Random: The Eternal Die gets the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is one of the most successful Hades-like experiences. Despite the complexity of the development process, Stormteller Games and Thunderful have succeeded in the far from easy task of creating a fun and immediate product that manages to carve out its own place in the increasingly crowded roguelike landscape.
Video Chums - A.J. Maciejewski - 8.1 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is one of the best action-packed combat-heavy roguelikes you can play and with hearty challenge to spare. 🎲
XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 7.8 / 10
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a short, fun experience. It takes all the classic elements of the roguelite genre and meshes them into this world seamlessly. It’s well worth checking out whether at full price or via Game Pass.
