DAICE

This game is a hidden gem as one of the yotubers put it and it is. It is a turnbase tactical game with ship inventory management, where you are manipulating D6 dices to attack eniemies with ship weapons and subsystems. You are going through set of missions upgrading your ship along the way. It's roguelike with slight roguelite elements. Oh and soundtrack is really nice too, a kind of techno-ambient very fitting for the game setting. I hope the game will get the audience its deserving.

Tactical dice combat with solid roguelite progression. Fuel management, chip synergies, and weapon overcharges make each run feel different.

TLDR get this game if you're into space roguelikes - you lose nothing as there is a demo for you to try. It was hard at first for me to identify exactly WHY this game is addictive. It tickles the appropriate dopamine areas in your brain and after a while I think I found it. You play as a ship sent across space missions which have 7-16 rounds of combat across 4 Acts, and each mission has a Normal-Hard-Difficult level (used for credit rewards and not for completion) - this structure gives the game a good amount of replayability. You can choose from 5 sets (4 in each group) of faction ships, each with their own perks like piercing, spread fire, burn ticks and explosive damage. I would say 25% of the fun comes from exploring and unlocking new ships to see what works and being surprised that some setups work well in some situations. Each ship comes with a grid-based inventory layout, and another portion of fun is upgrading capacity and trying to fit your equipment using Tetris-like positioning to find the most damage-output setup for the run. Since upgrades come almost every turn (and also you're not limited to just one selection but can randomly choose 1-4 upgrades) your attention …

A fast-paced space action game where you command a fleet of starships, relying on tactical wisdom—and a bit of luck, as randomness introduces a significant element of surprise to the battles.

Dear obsession, you turned my couch into a hype factory. I measure a day by tiny joys and punchlines. 9.5/10—would binge again.

A game where dice decide everything, and you just enjoy the chaos. This is a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s why it’s fun.
