Die in the Dungeon
Fight your way through a mysterious dungeon in this deck-building, turn-based roguelike game where you don't use cards, but dice! Deal with enemies by combining powerful dice on your board, boost their effects with magical relics, and risk it all hoping for a good roll on unexpected encounters.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “Deep dice-based strategy” (77 of 103 reviews) and “Charming pixel art and animations” (21); the most common complaint is “Limited variety and slow combat” (14). What reviewers agree on ↓

“Absolutely generational game. It takes the traditional elements of a deckbuilder but then it goes so, so far beyond bro. The mechanics are unique and fun, and arguably more engaging than other games of the genre. 1.0…”
“played this on itch.io originally and loved it, haven't played an hour yet and its incredible”
“fun rogue like, with only 3 characters and a handful for dice, it lacks content as of 04/16/26 but still in early access so thats expected”

“I love the concept and art of this game. However if you seek a challenge this unfortunetly isn't for you.”
“You ever beat a roguelike on your first try? It's pretty disppointing. I feel like we need some kind of system in the store page description, "X average attempts to clear" or something like that. Not because it's…”
“Good visuals. Original concept. Good to try, but not enough draw to keep coming back - a touch too slow for my taste. Not enough freedom in building, on hard mode having hp sponges as enemies is not that much fun.…”

“This game is great, its addicting challenging and no two runs are ever the same if you like dice rolling combat games this is a great one I love the art style and design of the mobs highly recommend.”
“An extremely fun and depth filled Rougelike adventure. Customizing the way you play across 4 characters, 100's of relics, and increasing difficulties makes this game not really get old. I always find myself being…”
“Enjoyed this take on the rogue deck / dice builder genre and builds off several combo defining plays seen in other games but with dice. The the power curve of the mobs vs the dice is handled well which other dice rogue…”

“Just picture frogs rolling dice in an alley and chuckle. Solid game. Been out for all of 5 days and I'm 30 hours into it so pretty good. Pros: Fun/cute/silly, Enough different items and buffs to change a play through…”

“Thank you devs for reaching me out and giving me a code for this game. It's as beautiful as the Demo that I've tried. In the demo itself I've gotten to Level 220 and it's probably going to happen here as well (or even…”
“Fun dice-builder roguelite with fun art, sound, and music. Combats and runs feels good, unlocks and powerups are well designed and thoughtful. As a dice-based game, I assumed RNG would be a big thing, but the game give…”
“Fun roguelite, great feeling of progression, fun enemy mechanics.”

“Sorry but the game is too easy. Second run I reached almost the endgame. I lose only to the boredom of too long easy fights. Is a very easy game with thousands of useless effects and relics”
“Already bored after 5 hours honestly and cant get myself to play more.. The characters dont really differentiate that much, there isnt really more dice then "attack, block or power up an attack or a block" besides some…”
“seems like a nice concept, but you'll quickly realize the gameplay mechanics are way too clunky and slow. too much overwhelming you, not enough potential for you to master this game compared to better roguelikes. even…”

“Where Slay The Spire has speed and fights that last between 1-10 turns, Die in the Dungeon feels slow and like a drag. Almost every build I've tried has ended up being a conservative sensible build where I don't lose…”
“I have waited for this game's 1.0 because I like polished products. So i've resisted the urge to join early access and was glad that it finally fully released. Imagine my shock to realize that the devs haven't even…”

“Fun game, I recommend for a few hours but don't expect more than that. I have been playing this one since when it was a demo on itch.io and sadly, the balance was much better back then. The game rn is hardly replayable.”

“Play Origins (free demo) first. If you like it, pick this up. Pixel art done well, nice music and game design.”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Fun, high quality game well worth its price tag. My only criticism is that it is not random enough, and runs tend to feel largely samey. This may have to do with not having all the relics unlocked yet, but it does feel like there is much less variation between runs for the same…”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“Die in the Dungeon is missing somethings that make it feel off. Objectively, its a good game, but when other Roguelikes just fill me with endless replayable joy, and I simply don't want to bother with Die any longer than I have to, I can't really give it a positive score. I like…”
