I'm not sure the dice toss mechanic really adds that much to the game, but regardless I really enjoyed this one a lot! All the encounters are so creative and unexpected that I just had to keep playing all the way through, and at the same time they make sense (i.e. you can usually figure out which stats will be affected by the outcome before you make a decision), which gave the game a good amount of strategy that mixes well with the aimless traveling through space.
Edit: the music fits really well too, and the UI feels polished. Both those aspects really add to the immersion.
