Release Date: June 17, 2025
An isometric hack & slash game with roguelike elements, clearly inspired by Hades. Lost in Random: The Eternal Die takes us through procedurally generated locations. It's our job to fight with enemies using melee combat, ranged attacks and dice throws.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is the second game under the Lost in Random banner, following the original released in 2021. This time we received a cross between action-adventure games, hack & slash titles, and roguelikes. The final effect is reminiscent of the best-selling Hades series. The game was developed by Thunderful Development, and its release was handled by Thunderful Publishing.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die takes us to the titular, fantasy lands of Random, or more precisely – to Eternal Die, a prison full of dangers. The vile Storyteller who was imprisoned there draws the game's main character - Alexandra (formerly known as the Queen) and her faithful companion, a dice known as Fortune. From now on, the protagonist's task is to thwart the Storyteller's plans and find a way out of this labyrinth.
In Lost in Random: The Eternal Die we view the action in an isometric view. The adventure leads us through various procedurally generated locations, the layout and content of which change with each subsequent attempt. During the game we explore different areas and face hordes of enemies.
Dynamic battles forces us to carefully observe enemies, perform quick dodges, and launch accurate attacks. We eliminate enemies by making use of melee and ranged attacks, relying on the protagonist's combat skills, and also by rolling the dice that Aleksandra carries on her back. Apart from regular enemies, whose greatest strength is their number, powerful bosses stand in our way.
As we progress, we develop the heroine by acquiring better equipment, collecting artifacts that provide her with various bonuses, and improving her skills. Between each escapade, we arrive at a central location where we can chat with characters and accept quests from them, as well as trade with them. A living rack can supply us with weapon upgrades, while the powerful Aama offers new combat powers. All of this is done to prepare ourselves for the next challenges.

Game Ratings for Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Video Game.
COGconnected: 79 / 100 by Mark Steighner
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.
So Many Games: 3.5 / 5 by Steven Landray
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.
Checkpoint Gaming: 8.5 / 10 by Elliot Attard
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.
