Lost in Random manages to stand out in many ways, but its main distinguishing feature is certainly the combat system. In fact, the game is based on very particular clashes that they mix real-time action with tactical pause.

Basically during the battles you will have the opportunity to freely control your protagonist and use his trusty sling to attack the eccentric creatures that will appear in front of you. By hitting the weaknesses of your opponents, however, you can generate gods light cubes able to fill the Dicey indicator. Once the gauge is full, you will have a chance to cast your ally and temporarily block the passage of time. In this moment of stasis you can also play special cards which will provide you with various advantages over the course of the battle.

Lost in Random in fact also has a mechanic of deckbuilding (obviously not curated like that of titles at the Roguebook). In the course of the adventure you can buy cards very different from each other from the many merchants scattered around the kingdom and then insert them as you like in your deck. Some will allow you to defend yourself from enemy attacks, others will allow you to temporarily obtain stronger weapons, while still others may have some really unexpected effects. In total in the game there are well 5 different categories of cards and it will be up to you to learn how to make the most of them during the clashes.
