Dicey Dungeons: Roll the Dice, Conquer the Dungeon!

Dive into the whimsical and perilous world of Dicey Dungeons, a captivating rogue-like deck-builder from the acclaimed indie developer Terry Cavanagh (VVVVVV, Super Hexagon). Known for his innovative designs, Cavanagh once again delivers a unique blend of charming visuals and deeply tactical gameplay, where strategy meets the delightful unpredictability of dice rolls. Every playthrough offers a fresh and engaging challenge, ensuring endless replayability.

A World of Whimsy and Peril: Step into a vibrant pop-up book aesthetic, brought to life by artist Marlowe Dobbe’s endearing character designs. Complementing the visuals, Chipzel’s 8-bit melodies and sound effects immerse you in a nostalgic auditory experience. The narrative is as quirky as the visuals: assume the role of anthropomorphic dice, trapped in a bizarre game show hosted by Lady Luck herself. Navigate treacherous dungeons, defeat bizarre foes, and strive to have your deepest wishes granted – if you can survive the capricious whims of fate!

Unleash Your Inner Strategist: At its core, Dicey Dungeons is a turn-based combat game where your success hinges on smart dice management. Each turn, you’ll roll a set of dice, then strategically assign them to your equipment cards to activate powerful attacks, deploy defensive maneuvers, or unleash unique character skills. Discover special mechanics like “locking” dice to save them for future turns, or manipulate their values to perfectly fit your build. With a diverse cast of characters, each boasting unique abilities and playstyles, and a vast array of equipment and status effects, the strategic depth is immense. Adapt your tactics, optimize your rolls, and overcome increasingly challenging scenarios to emerge victorious!
