Runs that play out differently every time

Slice & Dice

Runs that play out differently every time

You lead five heroes, each with their own unique dice, through 20 levels of monsters, and a single lost fight sends you back to the start. It's a tight tactical dice-based roguelike where planning and luck constantly play off each other.
