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.

The city runs on cards. Time to make your name. Cyphr City is a cyberpunk card RPG where you fight by building poker hands on a 5×5 board. Make a pair, finish a straight, land a flush. Every completed hand deals damage. You can see your opponent’s cards, so you know what they’re working with. The catch? Whoever places the fifth card on a line gets the hand. That flush you’ve been building could become their next attack. Play the first seven floors free. One purchase unlocks the full game. No ads, no subscriptions, nothing else to buy. FROM THE BLOCK TO THE PENTHOUSE You’re The Cyphr, a street-level hustler trying to make a name in a city where everything gets settled at the table. Climb 35 floors through five neon districts and face 20 different rivals on your way to The Architect. Some play recklessly. Some block your best lines. Others will happily let you build a hand before taking it for themselves. Watch how they play. You’ll need more than good cards to reach the top. FIVE BOSSES. FIVE HOUSE RULES. Every district boss changes a rule. One shuts down your diagonals. Another stops the same kind of hand from scoring twice in a row. The Architect reshuffles the center whenever you score, making a mess of whatever you were planning next. You’ll see the rule before the fight starts. Finding a way around it is up to you. FIND YOUR LOADOUT Earn REP to level up and hit harder. Spend CRED on weapons, armor and HP upgrades. Try a Gold Chain, pick up a Neon Katana, or swap your gear before a tough fight. Safe houses give you a choice: increase your maximum HP or take more REP. There’s a shop and a safe house in every district, so you’ll get chances to adjust as you climb. KEEP A TRICK READY Carry three street Tricks into a fight, or earn a fourth slot at the Vault. Use Pick Pocket to take the exact card you need from your opponent. Run It Back gives you another turn. Loaded Deck puts two wild cards in your hand. Sweep The Block clears away their placed cards. Charges are limited. Spend one now to get out of trouble, or save it for a better opening. WHAT’S IN THE SAFE? Every district has a stash. You can take the CRED and leave, or play blackjack for a bigger payout. Hit or stand. Win to double your stake. Naturals pay 3:2. THE DAILY THREE Once you’ve beaten the tower and own the full game, the Daily Three gives you a fresh set of fights each day. Everyone gets the same rivals, gear and seeded deck, with one attempt per day. See how much HP you can finish with, keep your streak going, and share your result. COME BACK FOR ANOTHER CLIMB Hustler difficulty turns up the pressure. Six challenge runs, including No Armor, Solo Trick and Undefeated, give you different ways to test yourself. The Ledger keeps your records, and you can share a card of your latest climb straight from the game. Battles save automatically. If you need to put your phone down halfway through a fight, your board and hand will be waiting when you return. PLAY ON YOUR TERMS Cyphr City works offline and supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. Every city keeps a few secrets. Play your hand. Run the city.
