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.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die review: Dice, strategy and repetition
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.
Return to the Kingdom of Random in Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, a new rogue-lite adventure that perfectly exemplifies how a rogue-lite can blend well with a good story.

Try Hard Guides: 8 / 10 by Erik Hodges
While its gameplay systems feel more restrained than they should, and its progression mechanics lack the depth or reward loop found in stronger roguelikes, the visual direction and narrative intrigue are more than enough to carry curious players through. Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a game that shines best as an experience, not necessarily a system-heavy time sink, but for the right kind of player, that may be more than enough.
Nindie Spotlight: 9.2 / 10 by Justin Nation
Running with the characters and lore from Lost in Random, the move to roguelike action is a reasonably-good one
Qualbert.com: by Ben Morgan
Roguelites are a hard nut to crack, especially as they are popping up more frequently. However, Thunderful Games has produced a fantastic entry that leans on the “less is more” aspect. Whilst some players may find it on the shorter side compared to other titles of this genre, an 8-10 hour game is nothing to fold your hand for. Even though this isn’t perfect with the narrative wrapping up far too hastily and side content that is a little thin, it still retains an addictive loop that will keep you coming back for more. The art style is absolutely invigorating and I can only assume, like the previous game, that fans will cross their fingers in hope for another incredible sequel.
