Rogue Roll turns the deck-building roguelike inside out: instead of a deck of cards, you're building a deck of dice. Roll a hand, then play it like poker: pairs, straights, full houses, five of a kind. Chips times mult decides your score, and you need to clear a target before your rolls and hands run out. Clear the round, hit the shop, gear up, and go again. Every run is built from scratch. Buy dice across six distinct suits, from steady Standard dice to unstable Glitch dice and heavy-hitting Void dice. Stack relics like Chaos Engine, Bloodpact Sigil, or the ominously named Singularity and Event Horizon. Crack open packs for Enchanted dice that echo their score, weight themselves toward big numbers, or add flat mult just for staying in your hand. Then the bosses show up. The Silencer zeroes out your odd dice. The Wall raises your target by 50%. Crimson Pact punishes anything worse than a pair. The Timekeeper makes your target climb 10% after every hand you play. Nine bosses, each one forcing a different strategy. FEATURES Eight game modes, each with its own starting deck and rules, from The Standard's balanced opener to Void Walker's three huge, unstable dice and The Architect's build-from-nothing challenge. Unlock them one at a time by beating the last. A living economy of dice, relics, packs, and consumables, with dozens of combinations that can turn a mediocre hand into a run-ending combo. A daily challenge with its own seeded run, three attempts a day, and streak rewards for coming back tomorrow. Endless mode once you've cleared the standard 12 rounds, for chasing the highest score you can reach. Game Center leaderboards and achievements, plus full run history and lifetime stats so you can track your best hands and biggest scores. Rogue Roll is free to play. It's supported by ads, removable for good with a single one-time purchase, and that's the only real-money purchase in the game. No pay to win, just pay to build.
