Dicefolk is an upcoming indie roguelite that combines tactics, monster collection, and those sweet sweet clickity clackity math rocks we call dice. The new game comes to us via indie developers LEAP Game Studios and Tiny Ghoul in addition to publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment. Along with the game’s announcement and a tentative release date for sometime later this year, we also received an awesome announcement trailer giving us a peak at what we can expect to experience with Dicefolk’s combat, story, and playstyle.

In Dicefolk you will play as what else but a Dicefolk, who are exceptional beings that can bring magical creatures called chimeras to life from their grimoire. Some chimeras wreak havoc across the land and it’s up to you to stop them. Using your dice-shaped artifacts to command any chimera, use dice mechanics and take charge of each fight to lead your team to victory.

So far in Dicefolk, we know that players will be able to collect new powerful chimeras to build their perfect squad while unlocking talismans to uncover more of the story. Players will discover different combinations of chimeras to enable new strategies for each run. Combat will be decided on how you use your dice. Command your chimeras while choosing the faces of the dice and the order in which each party takes its actions. As players collect and build their party, each chimera offers a unique set of abilities to help them shape their strategy and adapt their play style for whatever challenge comes their way.

Dicefolk will be available later this year on PC via Steam.
