CrossOver: Roll For Initiative PC Game 2024 review:
Defend your tabletop RPG character sheet from invading pixel enemies. Find matches in your tray of dice to power attacks to clear the evil from your shelf full of campaign books.
Extremely frantic match-3 RPG puzzle meets action-strategy tower defence. Sort of. NOT a relaxing game! It’s late at night in your 80’s bedroom, and a weird energy fills the air, making your “G64” computer flicker oddly. Brushing it off, you roll up a character sheet for the tabletop roleplaying games on your shelf. Before you finish, dark portals appear on your desk and little pixel creatures cross over into our world! Defend your character through the stages of each campaign book – whether it’s all in your head or not.
CrossOver takes some classic concepts from traditionally “casual” genres (Match 3 and Tower Defence) and crosses them into a new and eccentric challenge with Action, Strategy, RPG and Puzzle elements. Featuring over 100 levels in fantasy and sci-fi settings, extra game modes, and uniquely asymmetrical Co-op (one player controlling the dice and the other handling the attacks), CrossOver is… let’s face it, it’s bloody weird in CrossOver: Roll For Initiative.
This reduces the damage dealt by enemies, allowing players to focus more on chill enjoyment than frantic survival – without needing to Halt Time to catch a breath. When set to 0, enemies deal no damage at all and Deterrents (which act as a pseudo time limit) are disabled, enabling you to play completely at your leisure. These settings are only for Solo/Local Co-op Campaign play and can be toggled on or off at any point without needing to restart a campaign.
Pros of CrossOver: Roll For Initiative:
- Fantasy and Sci-Fi game modules – more genres may be released later as expansions, 7 x Campaign books per module, each with several stages,
- Local Co-op for all main Campaigns (gamepad-only control for dice), plus Remote Play Together,
- Procedurally generated Endless Modes (Solo and Online Lobby Co-op for each game module) to challenge the Online Leaderboards, Several Online Lobby Co-op Scenarios for each game module,
- Dice Defense game mode for each game module – autobattling dice towers to upgrade and move against endless waves of enemies.
