Maces and Dices

Maces and Dices is a turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler where you use dice to move and attack. You plan which battles to take on as you explore procedurally generated dungeons, where every move matters and monsters are trying to destroy your dice.

Plan each turn

At the start of each turn, you can assess the situation and choose a move carefully or act quickly and hope for the best. Keep enemies at a distance or defeat them before they reach you; once the turn ends, it may be too late to escape. Enemies have different movement and attack patterns, so learning their abilities helps you plan your moves.

Protect your dice

The game has no standard health bar. When an enemy attacks, your dice take damage and break in the order you placed them. Arrange them so your most important dice break last, especially the dice you rely on to move.

Dungeons and dice

There are three dungeon types and 15 unique dice in total. Defeating the first boss unlocks new dungeons, each with a new set of dice and enemies and a different playstyle to encourage. The enemies in each dungeon also have their own movement and attack patterns.

Upgrade your arsenal

As you progress through the levels, you can find new dice and upgrades. Upgrades are assigned to individual dice, so you choose which ones to improve. They expand a die's uses and can enable ways to play that would not otherwise be possible.
