Overview
Terminal Dice is a turn-based roguelike that puts a fresh spin on dice mechanics. Developed and published by Ariwell Studios Limited, this strategy title launched on Steam on October 23, 2026.
Instead of building a deck of cards, your entire build is a bag of dice—and every face can be modified. The core loop is simple to grasp but offers deep tactical layers: roll dice, clear encounters, buy relics, and tweak your faces to survive all three sectors.
Highlights
- Dice-as-build system: Your loadout is a bag of dice, and each face can be altered to suit your strategy.
- OPS-based control: Spend limited OPS to FLIP or SHIFT individual dice toward the values you need. Bigger dice score more but are harder to control.
- Compile buffer mechanic: Dice are placed into an ordered buffer before scoring, adding a layer of planning to every turn.
Who It's For
If you enjoy roguelikes where every run feels different, or if you like games that reward careful resource management, Terminal Dice is worth a look. The combination of dice manipulation and relic collection creates a puzzle-like tension: you can't fix every roll, so you have to decide where to invest your OPS.
It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements and color/contrast options, making it accessible to a wide range of players.
