Overview

Dice Chemist is a compelling roguelike experience that blends the thrill of dice poker with strategic alchemical manipulation. Players are tasked with rolling five dice, strategically holding onto desired results to form classic poker hands like pairs, straights, and even five of a kind. The twist comes with alchemical catalysts, which can be activated to alter the game's rules and create powerful synergies. Each run spans twelve rounds, challenging players to survive increasingly difficult "hell" modes and boss encounters. The ultimate goal is to see how far your carefully crafted dice combos can take you through an endless progression.
