Lviv-based developer A Few Heroes presented a demo of their card-based roguelike Dice Legends at Steam Next Fest. According to them, the game’s gameplay is «a unique combination of Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons.»
«Dice Legends combines the excitement of dice with the depth of deck-building games. Every roll opens up new possibilities: duplicate, flip, and split dice to power up cards and create devastating combos!» says the project description on Steam.
The developers note that in Dice Legends, the cards themselves don’t work — to «charge» the deck, players need to roll dice. However, additional dice-manipulating cards allow players to flip, clone, and change the dice to tilt the odds in their favor.
A Few Heroes notes the following features of the project:
The numbers on the dice determine which cards can be played and how powerful they will be. Some cards require specific numbers, while others become stronger with successful rolls.
Special cards allow you to change the behavior of dice: add new ones, flip them over, clone them, etc.
The game already has over 100 unique cards with different abilities, as well as features like restrictions on the use of certain cards and even different card sizes.
Each of Dice Legends' three game characters has their own talents, from extra control over the dice to the ability to save cards between turns.
The inventory system in Dice Legends is inspired by role-playing games — with separate slots for collected equipment.
Dice Legends is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2025, and players can currently try out the demo version of the game, which is available on the Steam page. The game will have Ukrainian localization and no Russian.
