Astrea is a DICE-deck-building roguelike that flips the script on deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and a unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption. Build a dice pool strong enough to purify Astrea's out-of-control corruption and save the Star System.

What players say
Sorry to have missed this one for so long! Early returns indicate that it may end up being my favorite dice-based roguelike.
Slay the Spire folks may not love this game, because of all the randomness related to rolling dice. Yes, you can mitigate the bad dice via deckbuilding but it doesn't eliminate it completely. Whereas in Slay the Spire, you can heavily optimise your deck, you can't do that 100% in this game. The game is beautifully crafted, with a BGM that is easy on the ears. There is enough build diversification in each unlocked...
What a byzantine game. I don't think it's bad, but it takes the squinting at cards genre and turns it into squinting at geometry symbols and you need a moment of adjustment to get used to that. It can also be very swingy if you misread one of the dozen weird new things on the screen. You don't have Slay The Spire health levels. You have like eight pips, max, always, before you chip a heart. The dice in your hand...
