Archon Soul: Prologue is one of those strategy games that made me want to keep experimenting because the deckbuilding idea is tied directly into the dice system. I play as a mage fighting through a dark fantasy palace, but instead of simply collecting cards, I am building powerful dice by changing their faces and combining them with different modifiers. I liked how much room this gives me to shape my own play style. The combat is turn based, with my spells and dice working together to create different effects. The interesting part is that I am not just choosing which abilities to use. I am also deciding how my dice should be constructed so that the results support the rest of my build. I enjoyed the feeling of finding a useful combination and then trying to make it even stronger through the next encounters. The run structure also works well. I choose my path through the palace, deal with enemies and events, then improve my build as I go. Some decisions are safer than others, so I found myself constantly weighing whether a risky route was worth the potential reward. Boss encounters also provide a useful test of whether my build actually works. The spell selection gives the prolog…

Archon Soul: Prologue is a tactical roguelike that combines turn-based encounters, spell-focused build creation, and an unusually flexible dice customization system. Rather than treating dice as a basic source of random numbers, the game makes them an important part of character development. Players can alter how their dice function and then combine those properties with spells to create increasingly elaborate strategies. Developed by PolyGryph and published by Goblinz Publishing and Maple Whispering Limited, this Prologue works as an introduction to the broader concept while still offering enough mechanical variety to stand on its own for several runs. The defining feature is the ability to construct and modify dice through different bodies, faces, and runes. The Prologue provides 15 dice bodies, with additional possibilities appearing through events, alongside 25 runes that can influence how a build behaves. This approach gives players meaningful control over an element that would normally be associated almost entirely with chance. Rolls still introduce uncertainty, but preparation determines how effectively different results can be exploited. A strong build is therefore less ab…

Deep and creative dice-building roguelike with tons of synergy potential. Can feel overwhelming at first, but once it clicks, it’s very fun and rewarding.
