CrossOver: Roll For Initiative

CrossOver: Roll For Initiative

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!

“The idea is fantastic, but the gameplay sucks. Play the demo first, and if you like it, wait for the sale. I got mine with 88% discount.”
