Dice & Fold is a game that combines the strategic depth of turn-based dungeon crawlers with the thrill of chance inherent in dice games. Players unfold cards to face the creature cards and try to beat the card and fold it. Reminiscent of classic table-top RPGs, the game adds a simple layer of strategy.

Mechanics

The core mechanic of the game revolves around dice rolling. Players engage in combat by rolling a dice, with the outcome directly influencing the strength of their attacks. The higher the roll, the more damage inflicted on the enemies. Strategic depth is introduced through the need to carefully select which enemy to attack first, requiring players to drag and drop the dice onto the appropriate enemy card's dice slot.

Each turn is a test of tactical acumen. Players must strategize the best use of their dice rolls to maximize damage and control the battlefield, while also anticipating the counterattacks from monster cards at the end of each turn. The game offers a compelling risk-reward system, challenging players to balance aggressive tactics against the need for self-preservation.

Adding to the complexity, the game features five distinct classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. This diversity allows for varied approaches to dungeon exploration and combat, encouraging replayability and experimentation.

Roguelike & Deckbuilding Gameplay

With the generative dungeon system, reminiscent of the branching pathways in "Slay the Spire." This element of choice ensures that each journey through the dungeons is a unique experience, filled with unexpected challenges and rewards. As the player you will choose the enemy and upgrade cards you want to keep in your next turn.

Between dungeons, players have the opportunity to choose upgrades, similar to the mechanics in "Vampire Survivors." These upgrades range from enhancing dice rolls and bolstering class abilities to gaining new upgradeable cards that can turn the tide in challenging encounters.

If a player is defeated, the game doesn’t end in frustration. Instead, players are rewarded with meta upgrades and currencies that can be used to strengthen their character for subsequent runs. This progressive system ensures a continual sense of advancement and achievement, even in defeat.

Strategy & Chance Together

With its blend of strategy, chance, and RPG elements, "Dice & Fold" offers an engaging and ever-evolving gameplay experience that appeals to both fans of dungeon crawlers and players who enjoy the unpredictability of dice-based games. Its unique combination of mechanics, and expansive upgrade system, offers a lot of replayability and fun!
