If you’re into roguelike deckbuilders with a twist of unpredictability, Dice Legends should be on your radar. Indie developer Big Bite Games, in partnership with co-developer and publisher Ad Luna, just revealed a slick new animated trailer alongside a fresh Steam demo for the upcoming title.
The reveal highlights the game’s trio of fantasy heroes, brought to life with eye-catching animation, while the demo is now live as part of Steam’s Turn-Based Thursday Fest, running from June 2–9, 2025. The full game is aiming for a Q3 2025 release.
What Is Dice Legends?
Dice Legends blends roguelike mechanics, deckbuilding, and RPG-style progression into a high fantasy adventure driven by the luck (or chaos) of the dice. You’ll choose from one of three characters, each tied to a specific type of die — d6, d8, or d12 — and fight your way through a gauntlet of enemies while collecting cards and items to build out your strategy.
It’s all about embracing randomness, building synergies, and chasing those overpowered combos that carry you through to the final boss. Think Slay the Spire meets tabletop dice — with a tactical twist.
Demo Highlights:
