Roll Player - The Board Game in IOS

Draft Dice & Create RPG Heroes

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

94/100

Roll Player: The Board Game is a brilliant digital translation of one of the most clever board games in recent years. Instead of playing through an RPG, you are essentially playing the 'character creation' phase. You are drafting dice to fill out your character's Strength, Dexterity, and other attributes to meet specific class requirements. It’s a puzzle-lover's dream wrapped in a fantasy aesthetic, and the digital version by Mipmap is flawlessly executed.

The UI is clean and makes the complex dice manipulation—where you're constantly pushing, flipping, and re-rolling dice—easy to manage on a touchscreen. The inclusion of cross-platform multiplayer is a huge win, allowing you to start a game on your iPhone and finish it on a tablet or PC. Whether you're playing against the five levels of AI or competing in the 'Hall of Heroes' solo mode, the strategic depth is immense. It captures the 'just one more turn' feeling of the physical game while removing all the tedious math and setup time. This is a must-have for any digital board game collection.
