The game is fun for time killing..
BUT it cheats... It's programmed to ALWAYS roll perfect for the enemies...
If their power needs 2 6s it will ALWAYS Roll 2 6's... THERE IS NO WAY TO ROLL 2 6'S EVERY D@M TURN!!!!!
If YOU need 2 6's you'll get them every now and then but maybe 1 time EVERY 6 turns.. The enemy gets PERFECT rolls EVERY TURN...
And you NEVER win on the pinwheel you ALWAYS spin the lose spot... Suspicious to me...
THATS A RIGGED PROGRAM, AND YES CODE CAN BE WRITTEN TO CHEAT THE PLAYERS!!!-
@G-Nome I never encountered this.
So when you're fighting enemies, you're seeing a TRULY random result on THEIR side?
When theyre at 2d6 level, they have a 1 in 36 chance of rolling ANY identical roll, 2 3's, 2 4's etc..
If it's random when they start with 2 6s rolled, they SHOULD not be rolling pairs EVERY turn.
With 25+ years of playing D&D and other role playing, friends and I NEVER, NEVER could role pairs, 3 of a kind, etc, on 10+ rounds in a row..
The enemies on this do 9 times out of 10.
Remember I'm still playing, I'm saying it so development will hopefully fix/change that part of this and future games...
