Platform: Steam

Playtime: ~33 hours to 100% completion (primarily idle progression)
There’s something inherently satisfying about dice. The clatter, the randomness, the possibility of a perfect roll. Dice Goblins Clicker understands that appeal and leans into it fully—throwing goblins, automation, and escalating number growth into the mix for a chaotic idle experience.
I reached 100% completion in 33 hours, largely by letting the game run overnight and collecting upgrades in the morning. It’s the kind of incremental game that rewards passive persistence rather than constant micromanagement.
🎮 Gameplay Overview
At its core, Dice Goblins Clicker is exactly what it sounds like: goblins roll dice nonstop while you upgrade systems to increase output, automate collection, and stack multipliers. Numbers climb quickly, luck mechanics bend probabilities in your favor, and the screen eventually fills with tumbling cubes and scrambling goblins.
The UI is refreshingly straightforward. Stats are readable, upgrade paths are obvious, and the overall structure makes it easy to understand what to prioritize next. It doesn’t bury the player in complicated mechanics—this is idle design with clarity in mind.
🌟 What Works Well
Dice Appeal (Especially for D&D Fans): As a Dungeons & Dragons nerd, the dice-centric theme immediately clicked. Watching endless rolls pile up scratches a very specific tabletop itch.
Affordable Upgrades: Progression feels steady. Upgrades rarely feel artificially inflated, and there’s minimal “dead grind” between milestones.
Simple, Clean UI: Information is easy to digest. You always know what’s happening and where your money should go next.
Great Idle Loop: The game respects passive play. Let it run, wake up richer, repeat.
⚠️ Where the Chaos Gets Messy
As fun as the loop is, a few design decisions add friction:
Grating Sound Design: The dice and goblin noises become repetitive quickly. I ultimately muted the game entirely to preserve my sanity.
Short-Lived Double Money Boost: The multiplier popup is easy to miss, especially when the screen is flooded with dice and goblins. It feels too brief to capitalize on consistently.
Too Many Dice, Not Enough Goblins: The screen can overflow with dice while hiring options for goblins feel limited, creating a strange imbalance.
Pathfinding Issues: Goblins don’t prioritize the nearest die. Multiple goblins will chase the same roll, only to repath awkwardly once another grabs it first. It doesn’t break the game, but it looks inefficient and messy.
🏆 Final Thoughts
Dice Goblins Clicker delivers exactly what it promises: escalating numbers, endless dice rolls, and chaotic idle growth. It’s accessible, affordable at $5.99, and satisfying for players who enjoy incremental systems that don’t overcomplicate themselves.
While audio fatigue and minor AI quirks dampen the experience slightly, the overall loop remains engaging—especially if you’re content to let the goblins work while you sleep.
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
A delightfully chaotic idle roller that keeps the dice (and numbers) flowing.
