We're beginning to see a trend of puzzle games straying away from the traditional colorful-cascading-blocks formula. Like Intelligent Qube (also on the PlayStation), Devil Dice is a simple yet challenging wonder, and it is revolutionary in its own little way.

The concept is easy: push or flip dice around the playing field to line up matching numbers in a way simitar to dominos or Shanghai. The number of dice needed for a match equals the face value. For example, you can put together two 2's for four points (2 x 2), but if you want to piece together 6's, you have to put six of them together (giving you 6 x 6 = 36 points). But for us puzzle-combo freaks who like to show off, you can do a match and then connect more dice for score multipliers. So after you touch six 6's together, you have a few seconds to add more 6's to the mix, increasing your score dramatically.

Devil Dice supports several modes, including Trial (keep going to see how high a score you can get), Puzzle (make predetermined matches within a given number of moves), Battle (first player to score four different matches wins), and War (one to five players start with loo points--every time you score, you knock your opponents' points down).

Devil Dice (in Japan known as XI, pronounced [sai]) is a puzzle video game developed by Shift exclusively on PlayStation. It was originally created for the 'homebrew' Net Yaroze platform, but it later turned into a commercial game.[2] Released in 1998, it is one of only a handful of games to make the leap from Net Yaroze to commercial release. The game is a million-seller and a demo version was released as a PlayStation Classic game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP) on 7 November 2007.[3]

Gameplay[edit]

Devil Dice is a unique puzzle video game, where the player controls a small devil that runs around a grid covered in large dice. The player can both stand atop dice, and stand on the ground (with the dice towering above). When standing on the dice, the player can move from die to die, or can roll a die in the direction he or she runs, revealing a different face as the die rotates. Creating a group of adjacent dice with identical pips—the size of which must be at least the number of pips—causes those dice to slowly sink into the field before disappearing. Chain reactions are possible by adding additional dice to a sinking set. Different types of dice are available in some modes, with different properties to make the game more challenging.

The game features the following modes:

  • Battle - Pits the player against a single computer opponent, both attempting to build up chains and negate those of the opponent.
  • Puzzle - Mode in which players must solve puzzles (i.e., clear all dice) using only a limited number of steps or moves. Solving a whole row of puzzles allows players access to a picture that they can play on in Battle mode.
  • Trial - The standard arcade-style mode, where the objective is to remove as many dice as possible (and thus score as many points as possible) before the grid completely fills with dice.
  • Wars - A frenzied multiplayer mode, supporting up to four simultaneous computer opponents, or five human players when using a multitap. Players damage each other as they complete chains, with the 'last devil standing' becoming the winner.
