Dicey Elementalist

I don't usually like roguelikes but this one has me hooked. Fun and the right level of challenging where "combat" is neither too easy nor too difficult. The ads are not intrusive - you can play without watching but there is benefit to watching them (respawning for another chance of taking on an enemy; rerolls in games of chance - nothing that makes the game "pay to win"). No need to spend unless you choose too - I got through to Master level and earned a new character without spending.

I really do like the game but the ads and high price point on the shop items really throw me. The ads are too long and, half the time, don't actually work to get you the reward you just spent significant time watching for. Maybe I'll come back to it one day, when the characters can be bought in in game currency, but for now its a miss.

So many features of this game rely on watch ads, like the revive mechanic or the assistance during a run or helping speed up resource the gain to make the numbers bigger. I have no problems watching the ads. However, when you try to watch an ad and it breaks. You can finish watching a 45 second ad and not be rewarded for watching the ad. And then all and based features become null, showing you a message "no ad to display", despite stating you have 5 more ads left on the watch limit.
