No Mana, Just Dice

No Mana, Just Dice is a tactical survival roguelike about a “Zero Mana” witch from a prestigious magical family. Deep in debt and carrying defective dice bought from a loan shark, she enters a dungeon to find the legendary Wish-Granting Scroll and change her fate. Though she presents herself as a cool, dark mage, she is frightened; you guide her through the dungeon by deciding when to move and when to fight.

Dice-driven combat

Every action, from walking to striking, depends on dice rolls. Enemies’ actions are fully telegraphed, so you can plan how to divide your limited dice between movement and attacks. You have only 4 dice: spending a high roll to flee leaves you with less firepower, while using everything to attack leaves you vulnerable.

Scrolls and strategy

Scrolls change how dice values work: a 1 might fail with one scroll but score a critical hit with another. You can bring only 4 scrolls into battle, so you choose a compact deck that balances range, area of effect, survival and impact. Collect scrolls and build a strategy around their effects, while adapting your plans to the dice you roll.
