Darkness Has Six Sides: Dice

A small indie game about dice, dungeons and knowing when to stop.

Darkness Has Six Sides is a dice roguelite RPG with Farkle-inspired, turn-based combat. Roll six dice, build combos and face monsters that reveal their next move. Attack now or bank your combos and risk another roll for more power. Miss a combo, and you lose the Attack and Guard gained that turn.

Choose from five heroes, explore dark caves and dangerous forests and grow stronger between runs. This fantasy dungeon crawler combines high-stakes dice battles with branching paths, permanent upgrades and monsters with a sense of humor.

MAKE EVERY ROLL A DECISION

Turn dice combinations into attacks, defense and special abilities. Bank a combo to reroll your remaining dice - but decide how much you are willing to push your strategy. Your next roll could turn the fight around or end your turn empty-handed.

See what the enemy plans to do before it acts. Prepare your defense, interrupt a charged attack or strike before trouble arrives. Luck gives you the dice. You choose how to play them.

FIND YOUR FAVORITE HERO

Play as the Fighter, Rogue, Mage, Paladin or Blood Hunter. Each of the five heroes uses different dice rules and abilities, giving you new combinations to master and different ways to approach a fight.

EXPLORE TWO EXPEDITIONS

Descend into shadowy caves or venture through brighter forests filled with dangerous creatures. Choose your route across branching maps, weighing monster encounters against treasure, merchants and chances to rest.

Face mini-bosses along the way and a final boss at the end of each area. The path you take shapes the challenges and rewards ahead.

BUILD YOUR RUN. KEEP YOUR PROGRESS.

Collect coins and spend them with merchants on temporary upgrades. Combine their effects with your hero's strengths and adapt as your expedition unfolds.

Spend Blood Tears on permanent upgrades that carry into future runs. Improve your hero and return better prepared for the enemies that stopped you before.

STEAL AND COLLECT 105 ENEMY CARDS

Monsters have more to offer than a fight. Steal their cards and fill a collection of 105 enemies, each with its own short, funny story. Discover the personalities behind the creatures trying to end your run.

COMPLETE TASKS. REACH LEVEL 60.

Work through level-up tasks, claim Blood Tear rewards and advance through 60 player levels. Keep pursuing new goals as you explore, collect and master the dice.

Five heroes. Two expeditions. One more roll.

How far will you push your strategy?
