Die in the Dungeon

🗡️🐸🎲 I didn't understand what felt like a sort of cult appeal to this genre of game, until this game. I've tried the others, that game you think I'm talking about - that everyone is crazy for? Yes, that didn't land with me. But this just works, it's got the juice. Absolutely worth the money. I was unfamiliar with the development of this game until Summer '25 but I believe in this team's ability to communicate with their player base to deliver each critical need and highly requested want. On a real note, I hope they continue to fine tune this experience through polish, and integrate additional accessibility features. At the time of my review, my biggest feedback would be to add a feature that lets you change non-title font to reduce eye fatigue. For an Early Access game, I think it is above and beyond.

Really cool game that takes what worked about Slay the Spire and builds on it.

Die in the Dungeon is a solid roguelike deck builder with an interesting system that uses dice on a board. Can be a lot of fun and addicting to those that like the genre but has some minor issues that might get in the way of that. Runs can take a long time compared to most other games in the same genre and you have to wait until you've finished at least the first area, which is currently a third of a run, to know whether or not your die are up to snuff for the rest of the run. Item and die effects can also sometimes be ambiguous. It'd be nice if there was an option to keep the tooltip so that didn't vanish when you moved your cursor away from the dice or item, like in Baldurs Gate 3 when you hit 'T'to further inspect something. There's also the scaling of usefulness with certain die rewards, where some can feel absolutely useless or barely useful like Puncture Die (which is only really useful is the enemy has a high guard) while others like Regen can be a game changer. This might be a personal skill issue but that's just the feel I've gotten from using the die. Also, the game has a bad habit of giving you glass die in the first encounter. For context, glass can only be used once per battle and this basically forces you to either find a way to remove the property or continue playing until you get a proper die. This wouldn't be such an issue if the glass die weren't a basic attack or defense die. Either way, a solid 8/10 roguelike deckbuilder. Could be even better with a bit more content but it's in early access so hopefully, more's to come.

a decent time overall, but feels like it can snowball for or against you depending on how you fare in terms of building your dice pool. very possible that this is just a big skill issue but the scaling between areas is definitely noticeable and if your output (damage or defense) does not keep up, you are likely to bite the dust. as it stands though it's not the worst game i've played in the genre and i can see myself revisiting it from time to time

Utterly amazing game. It is difficult but that just makes the victories feel all the better!

so right now i have almost 8 hours on the game, ive had the game for 24 hours, i found the classic version on itch and i loved it so i bought it on impulse, and it was a GREAT purchase, sooooo fun i swearrrr!!

This is a fantastic nod to Slay the Spire and still so fresh and unique. Def worth the price and still in early access. Can't wait to see what else they have cooked up for this!

This game is ridiculously addictive and fun. It's worth it, and all of the updates are making it even more interesting.

Very nice and cozy, especially fun when you manage to get a good combo of dice and relics that make you virtually unkillable

So satisfying, fun, and cute. I love this game, it's well worth the price.

Easy to learn, hard to master, Some descriptions should be changed because it is not entirely clear what a given item does.

I played the demo (origins) and liked the game mechanics. The full game adds many more features for the dice and items. Grab a combo pack or while its on sale, or even buy full price if you wanna.

it's gas. apparently it gets stale after 12~ hours, but the first few cinder-lysver runs ive done have been absolute gas beyond belief, scratches the itch that balatro never actually reached because i dont like that game

Its a great game, what can I say? Clearly slay the spire inspired, but they've crafted something that sets them apart with the dice arrangement mechanic. All its missing is variety (in powers and enemies), which is totally expected for an early access game. I'd recommend this game, even at this stage. If I had one main piece of feedback for the devs it would be: many of the weirder dice don't really work... the mirror, the prism, etc. Instead, I'd rather you focus on the developing weird attributes (the heavy, gravity, group etc, mechanics are so clever and so fun). The main dice are clean. Also, maybe try to make the characters more distinct. You could make even weirder boards and make even weirder perks that are specific to that character.

I LOVE this game, wholeheartedly. Everything about it is so charming and cute!!! the little frog characters, the little bug guys... everything!! I really bounced off slay the spire but Die in the Dungeon has sunk its fangs into me and I don't want it to let go

Not a terrible dice roller actually. I had some experience with these kinds of games in the past and I really didn't like how the mechanics worked. (No I am not saying names because we're not talking about them) What this game got right was one thing: Simplicity and Balance. It's not perfect however, as the enemies are, unlike the mechanics of this game, unbalanced. Some are just too OP for floor two, which is kinda sad when you realize there are only four or so floors. I am aware I might be wrong on this but that's just it, I can't get far enough to tell cause of how OP the regular creatures are. I end up getting slugged before I get a chance to be proven wrong on if there are more floors, until then I think there are only four. All in all I want this game to succeed, and I hope it does. Thus I hope they can change the mobs for the better and make this less of a slog to try and get through, because again the mechanics are really good.

I played this for hours in beta and forgot to wishlist it. It's such a fun and creative dice-deckbuilder. (yep that's a thing I guess.). If you enjoyed Dicey Dungeons this is an insta-buy. There's a lot in common with Balatro too.

Great mix up of the rogue-lite mechanics like slay the spire, with another step of randomization in the dice. Base concept is really good, and even unfinished, I've gotten plenty of playtime out of it

underrated gem. one of, if not the most fun roguelike ive ever played. great art and animations, great gameplay, great music, etc. easy 9.5/10

An amazing indie game, great artwork, great gameplay

A fun and cute roguelike. Can be super frustrating when you get terrible rolls but that's what makes it more fun and challenging.

Amazing game! Honestly one of the best in the genre. I can't believe it is only early access!!

Cute game, very enjoyable, easily understandable but can still provide some challenge & fun brain teasers

Gorgeous, fluid visuals that pop are a treat for the eyes, with visuals that are cohesive and excellently themed. The dice gameplay is strategic without getting bogged down in unnecessary complexity, with interesting modifiers that encourage you to experiment with the different die types. Runs last approximately 60-90 minutes, assuming you play at a normal pace. Overall great game, highly recommended.

It's really cute, and alot of fun. The difficulty feels good and the characters feel different enough to enjoy them. Can't wait to see how far this game goes!

There just isn't really any depth to it. I played through 3 times and won with all 3 characters on the highest available difficulty. maybe eventually it gets hard at higher difficulty, but the runs are too long for me to grind it out just to see if there is anything interesting or challenging

I love deck building roguelikes they scratch my brain and if you like deck building roguelikes like peglin, you will love this game

:) This Game was amazing, it completely changed my life. I am now a frog in a dungeon roguelike going through rooms and fighting insects. 100/10

One of the best rouge-likes i've played in a while. If you liked Die In The Dungeons Origins I highly recommend this game

Fight your way through a mysterious dungeon in this deck-building, turn-based roguelike game where you don't use cards, but dice! Deal with enemies by combining powerful dice on your board, boost their effects with magical relics, and risk it all hoping for a good roll on unexpected encounters.

Excellent Rogue like. Fun to play, hard to master (For me at least) A good one for sure!

Honestly really great surprised the rating is not higher

Game has excellent replay value and just a fun mechanic!

It's a cute game and plays like a normal roguelite, but it suffers from slow and repetitive gameplay far more than other games in the genre. It's also incredibly easy. Every fight is boring and repetitive. It doesn't scale well with different resolutions.

So damn hard, but fun!

this game is awesome i got addicted T.T

It's pretty good. Very cute:D

worthy of my time , keeps me wanting more .

It's pretty dang fun!
