Circadian Dice

Circadian Dice is about a group of heroes who have escaped a cosmic entity’s repeating cycle of time. The entity plans to eliminate uncertainty and control reality, and the heroes set out to find and destroy its source. You face a series of skirmishes, upgrading your dice to manipulate chance and using limited resources to defeat enemies.

Scenarios and progression

The game has 13 scenarios, each playable in Normal or Hard Mode. Hard Mode significantly changes each scenario with new enemies, secrets and challenges. Each scenario is a stand-alone challenge designed to take 10 to 30 minutes, with semi-random upgrades for each scenario and hero creating new combo opportunities.

Heroes and their dice return to normal after each scenario, whether they succeed or die. Unlocked upgrades, relics, abilities and modifiers persist, building your arsenal as you progress. Better battle performance helps you build that arsenal faster. Unlockable end-game modes include an endless randomized scenario and a campaign mode with a more traditional, long-term roguelike experience.

Heroes, dice and enemies

You choose from 10 heroes with distinct characteristics and play styles. You shape six-sided dice into weapons, sources of wealth, magic conduits or machines that boost your stats, and combine their effects to build attacks and other useful combos. Almost every enemy can be captured in a die, granting bonuses and attacks based on that enemy’s attributes.

The game includes 60 equippable relics that give your hero abilities, alter stats or provide major bonuses, along with more than 110 abilities that strengthen your hero, manipulate dice or damage enemies. You face 66 enemies and 27 bosses, each with distinct characteristics and abilities. Rare random mutations can make enemies more dangerous or be turned to your advantage.

Replayable runs

Random mutators, semi-random upgrade opportunities and a wide range of possible combos make each run through a scenario different. The game also includes secrets to discover, hand-drawn animations and tooltips for every element to help you learn its systems and plan your strategy.
