Dicey Dungeons Wiki: Characters, Enemies, Challenges and Tips

In Dicey Dungeons, you fight by placing rolled dice on your gear. It's a dice-based roguelike deckbuilder from Terry Cavanagh. You're a contestant on Lady Luck's game show, turned into a giant walking die and sent into an ever-changing dungeon. In a roguelike, losing sends you back to the start, so each attempt, called a run, is a fresh try. The equipment you collect along the way is what you build your loadout from.

Each run starts when you pick one of six characters: the Warrior, Thief, Robot, Inventor, Witch or Jester. Each one begins with its own equipment and its own special rules. You walk across a map of spots that hold enemies, treasure chests and shops, and you reach the next floor through an exit. When you walk into an enemy, the fight is one-on-one and played in turns, and each turn the game rolls dice for you to place into the slots on your equipment. The number on each die decides what that equipment does, so where you put each die matters.

Winning fights earns you coins and experience, and both make your next fight easier. Coins buy equipment and healing at shops, and each level up fully heals you, raises your maximum health and can add a die to your roll. A run crosses six floors, with a boss waiting on the last one, and your health hitting zero ends the run. Winning runs unlock more characters and new episodes, each with its own twist on the rules. Every character has six episodes, and the free Reunion update adds one more for each.
