\"\"<\/a>When I was young, I loved watching stuff on the kids\u2019 cable channel Nickelodeon like Danger Mouse, Double Dare, and You Can\u2019t Do That on Television (yeah I\u2019m THAT old school).\u00a0 But even years later as a teen and young adult I liked watching Nicktoons like Rocko\u2019s Modern Life and Invader ZIM.\u00a0 And once my little brothers came along, they were all in on shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, and Avatar: the Last Airbender.\u00a0 So I\u2019m always happy to review a new Nicktoons game.\u00a0 So here comes Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny, a crossover action RPG featuring some of your favorites.\u00a0 In the game, Timmy Turner from The Fairly Oddparents is playing a table top RPG with his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda.\u00a0 It\u2019s a spoof of Dungeons and Dragons (they even call it Creatures and Caverns).\u00a0 Anyway, Timmy wishes he could be in the game for real, so with the help of some dubious magical multisided dice that Cosmo found, they are whisked into a fantasy world where other Nicktoon characters are sucked in as well.\u00a0 Now Timmy and characters from SpongeBob, Avatar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more must go on an adventure to find the magical dice so they can go back home as well as battle villains like Plankton and Angelica.\u00a0 Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny is available on most current consoles but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

The game is an overhead viewed action RPG where you can run around with the L stick and attack with the buttons.\u00a0 You can also do a dodge roll with the A button and press the L shoulder button to quick heal if you have enough potions.\u00a0 As you defeat enemies and gain experience, you\u2019ll level up and gain new skills.\u00a0 Assign these special moves to the other face buttons.\u00a0 They require points to use, but the meter fills quickly so you can use them often.\u00a0 The dungeons are based on locations from the shows like \u201cBikini Bottomshire.\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019ll pick up gold, potions, weapons, and armor you can equip to improve your stats.\u00a0 If you run out of energy, you\u2019ll have to start the dungeon over again.\u00a0 When you are not in a dungeon, you\u2019ll be in a hub world town where other minor Nicktoon characters can sell you potions, armor, weapons, upgrades, and missions.\u00a0 Four can play at the same time, which is awesome.<\/p>\n

One thing that really impressed me about this game was that pretty much every piece of text in the game has spoken voice from all the characters (hi Rob Paulsen).\u00a0 Even minor characters!\u00a0 And the cutscenes look exactly like the cartoons, too!\u00a0 I\u2019ve reviewed lots of other Nicktoon games that didn\u2019t have those things, so this game has some really high production values.\u00a0 I did have some problems with the game, though.\u00a0 The difficulty spike between levels and bosses is wide, so you\u2019ll want to grind to level up to stand a chance against them.\u00a0 Which brings me to my next problem in that the game can also be a bit repetitive and mindless at times.\u00a0 One other minor quibble that\u2019s more of a personal problem is that I wish other characters from shows like Rocko\u2019s Modern Life and Invader ZIM would\u2019ve shown up.\u00a0 And all four Ninja Turtles are present, but you can only play as one.\u00a0 Bummer, dude!\u00a0 But other than that, if you enjoy simple action RPGs and have kids or are a kid at heart, you\u2019ll enjoy this one.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence. You can hit cartoony enemies with weapons and magic, but they just fall over and disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated.\u00a0 If your kids are old enough to watch these cartoons, they\u2019ll be fine with the game.\u00a0 Even though most of the game has spoken voice, reading skill is still helpful for the menus and such.\u00a0 Younger gamers might need help with the tougher bosses, but luckily four can play at the same time, making this a great time for the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
