Dice game guides

Games like Slice & Dice and Dicey Dungeons

Disclosure: we make Pipsquad, which is included here. This is a developer-authored comparison of published mechanics. Pipsquad is in development with a free Windows demo.

If you are looking for games like Slice & Dice or Dicey Dungeons, start with the part of their combat you want to keep. Party coordination, unusual character rules and combinations built from a roll lead to different recommendations.

What do you want from the next run?

From Slice & Dice: a shared party turn

Its five heroes have individual dice, with rerolls and undoable actions helping you explore how the party’s abilities work together. If the team is the appeal, look for another game where character choices shape your available dice.

From Dicey Dungeons: changing the rules

Its six characters use different systems: the Robot’s dice generation and the Inventor’s equipment changes ask for different plans. If those shifts are the appeal, look for a new way to build and combine your resources.

If you have only played one of these games, the other is a useful first comparison. Slice & Dice emphasizes a party; Dicey Dungeons makes the selected character’s rules central to the run.

For more hero-dice party tactics: Pipsquad

Pipsquad keeps individual hero dice at the center of the squad. Faces represent abilities, rerolls help shape a turn, and promotions and relics develop the team. That makes it a candidate if you want to keep thinking about who joins your party and how their abilities combine.

We develop Pipsquad, and it is still in development. The free Windows demo is the current way to try it. Browse the hero compendium for concrete dice faces and the relic compendium for equipment effects before downloading. Expect content and balance to evolve.

For combinations that depend on placement: Die in the Dungeon

Die in the Dungeon turns your collection of dice into a deck and lets you customize its faces. Dice also interact according to their positions on the board. We suggest it when you want to move from deciding which ability to use toward deciding where a die will contribute most. The spatial layer is the main difference to investigate.

For a card-building detour: DICEOMANCER

DICEOMANCER combines a card deck with dice that can modify interface numbers such as health, mana and card effects. We suggest it if the attraction is discovering interactions between resources. It moves the focus toward cards and number manipulation, so choose it when you are happy to leave the individual hero-die structure behind.
