About Dice with the Devil
Dice with the Devil is a party-based, dice-chucking, deck-building roguelike. Assemble your crew of adventurers, each with a different dice requirement. Some adventurers have simple requirements but offer limited attack benefits. Other adventurers require you to press your luck to fulfill their requirements, but can really dish out the damage. Adventurers can combo with other party members, allowing a clever player to perform massive attacks in a single turn. However, Dice with the Devil is a game of timing - make sure your combos pop off at just the right time, as opportunities like this may not come around again soon. Adventurers become more powerful after each use but only have a limited number of uses before they retire - adding an additional wrinkle to the timing puzzle. Between battles, upgrade your party with new adventurers, powerful items, and unique relics - all to help you defeat increasingly more powerful enemies.

This is a hidden gem of a roguelike that I'm very happy was recommended to me. The basic mechanic is you start with a set of five dice that you automatically role at the start of a turn, with two rerolls and the option to lock the dice you want to keep. You start with a team of two minions and a relic generally, each minion has a dice requirement to attack, after which they level up. Each time a minion levels up they gain a new ability along with increased damage of their attack. For example a chain ability lets you also attack with any adjacent minion, so if you plan well you can get these crazy turns where your entire board is attacking and buffing each other. The ability they get with their attack changes each level but if you hover on a minions you can see what each level will give them. After a minion attacks at level 6 they escape hell and leave your party, leaving you with a few powerful single use potions in their stead. So you gotta attack sparingly and plan how many bosses you have left in the run, lest you lose your most powerful asset before the last fight. There's 9 bosses in a run and each boss you get three full turns to beat, so you really can't waste any…3 found this helpful
This is a great game for folks who like Balatro or Loot Rascal style roguelikes but want a bit more thinky complexity (but not an overwhelming amount). Figuring out how to optimize position-based buff and create effective chains is super satisfying.1 found this helpful
Addictive ... quick to learn ... fun in the realm of Despot Game
I'm almost ashamed about getting it for 1,24€ during the sale. This is a steal and a must buy!
Other than a couple hiccups in the English translation, very good game. Might need a little more options in the randomization, but overall a good, short-session rougelike.
Raw, but some nice systems here to play with. Worth a try.
