Spellrogue is a turn-based, deckbuilding roguelike where you cast powerful spells using your Mana Dice, gain legendary artifacts, upgrade your spells and experiment with potent combinations to annihilate the Voidwalkers corrupting the world. The core gameplay takes an innovative spin on the deckbuilding roguelike loop seen in titles such as Slay The Spire, using dice to create a new layer of strategy to the genre.

Manipulate dice in fun and novel ways to control the fickle Mana Dice and bend their fate to your will. Reroll, duplicate, split, flip and enchant with special effects to take command of the Mana Dice's random nature, and use them to cast your mighty spells.

But beware, the foul Voidwalkers are spreading their influence on the once peaceful inhabitants of the world and has made them ravenous. Battle your way through the Deadwoods, across the Scorched Desert and hunt down the source to cleanse the land of the corruption.

Engage groups of enemies and prioritize your targets carefully. Learn how each of the different opponents are capable of sabotaging your well laid plans when they interact directly with your spells and Mana Dice. The contagious mushrooms may 'infect' your spells with spreading debuffs, while the undead can curse your Mana Dice to roll poorly. The fiery elementals can even set your spells ablaze, hurting you if they are used.

Currently available through Steam early access, Ghost Ship Publishing announced that SpellRogue's first EA update added a number of new spells and artifacts, as well as a new event and a whole host of quality of life changes - including improved translations, fixes for players using ultra-wide screens, and over 130 balance changes.

Looking to the future, the team has now unveiled their first living roadmap, detailing exciting new updates and features on the horizon, alongside the game’s first small update.

We are purposely keeping the roadmap a little vague as we like to continuously reevaluate what is most important for the game. Each line is not necessarily in sequential order nor an update each, but it should provide a general overview of how we are going to develop SpellRogue going forward.

The game is set to receive frequent updates in the coming months, one of which will see the arrival of a brand new playable character. Later this year, the Air Mage will offer players new ways to interact with their Mana Dice with an entirely new deck of spells to put to the test.

SpellRogue 0.9.1: “Balance in all things”

General:

• 5 new Spells, 3 new Artifacts, 1 new Event!
• Balance changes for 130+ entities!
• Improved Mutator selection algorithm.
• Added “back”-functionality for rerolled Spell draft.
• Updated and improved translations (NOTE: A few translations are still missing, we are planning to fix this in a hotfix soon).
• Scene cameras are now vertically fitted, so height is always the same (fix for ultra wide screen).
• Improved preview of Spell charges spent.
• Added enemy type to enemy-catalog.
• Stygian Dice can now be picked up & spent in Spells.
• Wound Dice tooltip now shows exactly how much damage you take.
• Tweaked Friar actions (fixes softlock when e.g. only using Thorns).
• Energized Dice is now triggering on “Spent” instead of “Inserted”.
