A new twist in the genre of roguelike games
"Die in the Dungeon: Origins" is more than just another game in the popular genre of roguelikes. It combines strategic deckbuilding with the luck of dice rolling, creating a unique gaming experience. Imagine playing a game like Dicey Dungeons or Slay the Spire, but instead of using cards, you use a "deck" of different colored dice. Each die represents different actions - red dice deal damage, green dice heal you, blue dice block enemies, and so on.
What sets this game apart is not only its unique gameplay mechanics, but also the fact that it is available for free on Steam. "Die in the Dungeon: Origins" serves as a prequel and extended demo for the full game "Die in the Dungeon". It gives you a taste of the gameplay mechanics and allows you to immerse yourself in the world of the game right now.
Strategy Meets Luck
The numbers on the dice are not always the classic ones from one to six. For example, there could be three twos and three threes, or four blank sides and two with sixes on them. This adds an additional layer of strategic planning to the game. You have to carefully choose which dice to include in your deck and which ones to remove.
In between battles, you also have the opportunity to heal your character or acquire new dice. There are also events where you have to use and roll certain colored dice to see if your action was successful. All in all, the game offers a successful blend of strategy and luck.
What's Next?
We're excited to see what developer ATICO has planned for the full game. There will be more characters with different game board shapes and dice variations, more events and artifacts, as well as a deeper campaign with more dangerous enemies. For those who can't get enough of roguelikes or just want to try something new, "Die in the Dungeon" is definitely worth a look.
In the meantime, you can play the prequel "Die in the Dungeon: Origins" for free on Steam and get a feel for the game. And if you want to secure the Steam Key for the full game, make sure to check Keyfuchs regularly. Because we always keep you up to date on the latest games and offers!
