What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews87% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$5.55/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length3.6 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds10 of 506 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.99. That was June 2026. 24 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 33 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 33 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles ($24.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Wildfrost ($11.99, scores 61).

This site sampled 506 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 125 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

In general, the aim is to create a spell engine that's can Block enough to survive, and then Attack or scale damage in some way to ultimately kill the enemies. Utility spells help with generating more resources (dice), or manipulating them in a way that gives...

a fun break from grinding sts2, a fun game with interesting dice mechanics. the mechanics are not as unique as in dicey dungeons but they are consistently fun enough to actually make this a good dice deckbuilder. probably the first one i really enjoy on the market,

No game has kept me playing this long. Best deckbuilder out. Although after 1000 hrs, it would be good to get a DLC...
