Dinsun Review
I’m a Star Wars fan, but this is a cynical product. It’s a dice roller. That’s it. In an age where there are a dozen free, community-made apps that do this better, Disney and Fantasy Flight had the gall to charge five dollars for this. It doesn't even have a nice 3D physics engine for the dice—it’s basic.
Yes, it uses the specific proprietary symbols needed for their RPGs, which is a classic 'create the problem, sell the solution' move. I’d rather roll real dice and actually feel the weight of my failure than tap a screen. It’s functional, but it represents everything I dislike about modern hobby gaming's monetization.
