Die in the Dungeon CLASSIC
Die in the Dungeon is a deck-building, turn-based roguelite where you dont use cards, but dice! Try to find the best combination to conquer the 2X-floor dungeon, but be careful, a frog like you can only get so far before encountering a prey too big to swallow...

Love Love Love this type of deck builder! And that frog is too cut
i died to the queen brr not to long after this omfg
wtf im only on floor 10 and theres this fuckin fly that keeps rehealing every single time i kill him to 0 hp
I LOOKED AT IT AND I WAS LIKE... ADORBALEE
FUCK you QUEEN BEE):<<<<<
I was able to get over 50hp and I died by a strike of 9,999 because he was just angry
Chill and relaxing, can keep you playing for hours. loved the experience.
Did you read what honey die do?
what do mirror dice do
It mirror's dice 4 places from it.
It's really good because you can do crazy damage with it
nice, just wish i knew what i was doing
Maybe runner up world record?
Strategy was simple: mirror defensive dices until you max life and shield, then mirror damage. Would have reached beyond if the 2 archer 1 wasp combo haven't appeared on 66. No idea how to deal with 150 damage on turn one
As the other guy said, not over until reach floor 100
I am honored to find someone that managed to challenge my spot as world record.
however, I'd like to tell you what are the die you are looking for to get the "theoretical best".
1 hollow gold mirror die
1 hollow gold boost die
1 glass "all-6" terrain die
1 eternal and grow attack die
3 hollow and grow block and heal die
And good luck on your runs. We'll all need it.
Awesome game, only gotten to floor 25 once and still have the last unlockable to get, but I'm loving this so far.
reached floor 39 then it gliched out also why cant we keep our due dice like we can with other dice we unlock?
What kind of glitch?
Also, can you please reformulate your question, I don't get what you are asking.
Love it, great game, I suck so its kinda hard though
Edit: AAAAAAAAAAAAA I DIED TO THE QUEEN BEE AASDFGBVCDFGTHYJN VFGHYJNB V
my goodness
is that a frog
*froggy boots*
wait
nm
he dissed me
Is there any way to increase the number of dice play per turn ? just 3 is a hindrance
yes, the "hollow" property makes a die not use up one of your energies when played.
I finally got world record for highest floor.
I'll put a detailed explanation of way those dices as a reply so that anyone can try it.
To my knowledge the previous record was floor 56 or the beginning of phase 7 into endless mode.
I had reached floor 51 thrice and after the second I quit the game for a year out of frustration.
Coming back I played three runs, the first is the third floor 51 death. The Second broke the world record: floor 64 or late phase 8 into endless mode.
The third run came right after as a celebration to the world record however it went way further ahead than I could imagine:
Floor 91, or the beginning of phase 14, doubling the phase number, and I could have gone further, but I was too greedy and failed to see a mortal treat from an opponent, so I perished.
IT IS NOT OVER HERE, I WILL TRY TO REACH FLOOR 100, wish me luck
The dice combinations I used vary from one run to another but generally follow a simple set of rules that make this achievement possible:
- Mirror + Boost
- Defense is the best offense
- The deterministic strategy
- Grow and hollow
- block & heal
The first rule is simple, always have a perma-mirror or a mirror die with all sides equal to 4 and the hollow property, that is a die that substantially a times 2 to whatever is opposite to it. And always have a boost die to work with it, because of geometry a boost die with only 2s and 3s will add 6 to whatever the mirror is duplicating if you play your dice correctly.
The second rule is a double, your dice that aren't support (terrain, mirror, boost) should all be focussed on Heal / Block, apart for one singular die. That must be able to hypothetically win every encounter if given enough time, so if it has the "area" or the "grow" effect it is more than enough, otherwise a "The Holy" is a good weapon to have.
The deterministic Strategy is a vague rule to say the least, the thing is, the less luck there is in your rolls, the more consistent results you'll get, which is very important if you are testing your luck of a roll multiple times per encounter per floor. With each new undetermined variable the chances of making it far become more and more slim. Because of that it is better to avoid having more than 5 dice in your bag at the start of an encounter as there will be a world in which you will roll bad dice that don't help you survive.
Grow and hollow is a lesson everybody knows, spam grow and hollow on all the dice you have, make sure to always be able to play 5 dice in one turn and make sure that your strength that keeps increasing with time.
Finally we have the "Block & Heal", this isn't a strategy, it's a must to survive in the late levels, you need to find the "menacing spider" encounter and need to get a "block and heal die", without it you are basically guaranteed not to pass floor 50 or even sooner.
The best possible scenario would be to have 2 "Gold grow and hollow Block and Heal die", and if you look into the photo of the world record you'll see that I only needed the "grow" option on the second one and I would have been complete, until there I had been using a "Gold grow and hollow Block die", which is significantly worst than the die I was aiming for.
AS A SIDE NOTE, in my world record run it might look like I broke two rules: The deterministic strategy and the "grow and hollow", as I have a sixth die that is the "gold glass Terrain die", however that isn't a problem for the deterministic strategy for my intention is to play it as soon as possible to get a power boost in my defensive dice and after that never touch it again (The glass was intentionally put on that die for this specific reason.) And because of the glass property the "grow" property isn't applicable and the "hollow" property would be wasted on that die.
If you need more explanation just ask me, I'll always be happy to help.
Good job, and gl hitting your 100 floor goal!
I have a strategy to now try and achieve the die load-out of the world-record run, however it requires resetting and beating the game thrice before being possible.
HOWEVER I WON'T GIVE UP HOPE, I WILL DO IT.
I'll keep you updated.
I am enjoying this game A LOT!
Random idea, different shaped boards, and an enemy that will shake the boards so if you have any Heavy or Eternal dice on it, it'll move them to a random area.
Greate game!
what should we name the frog or does it have a name?
I've made it to 51 twice... The second was the only time I've tried and successfully filled all the dice slots.
I got there thrice and it isn't my high score
However I'm glad to see that you're almost at my level, keep going and you'll reach me.
ive done 34 damage
Now THATS a lot of DAMAGE (Look at the bowman)
NOW THATS A LOT OF HEALTH
Bro, just wait until you get to Endless Mode at a high phase, in my current run I'm at floor 69, have 104 Max health and I'm praying not to be 1-shot by the enemies anyway, which isn't a hypothetical! If I get all bad odds in a row, I'll be getting dealt around 165 damage in one turn. Pray for me please.
Not to offend you, but once I managed to deal 200 damage to the Queen Bee fight by exploiting Terrain-Honey combos, here it is:
Great game with unique mechanic! recommended for anyone trying out puzzle games.
Try only using 5 dice max, it is called "The deterministic Strat", if you only have 5 dice you will always know which dice you are going to get and can plan really far ahead.
this hurts my brian
Who's dices are who's good question I just look at what is going to happen if I press finish and plan from there.
Fun game! wishlisted^^
This is tuf
This game slaps
