FORGE THE ENGINE Dice Foundry is a portrait dice-building roguelite where every face is a choice. Shape three living dice, read the enemy's next intent, and resolve your roll in the order that creates the strongest engine. BUILD YOUR OWN COMBOS Cast, replace, hone, merge, and requench 44 faces across five materials. Combine Strike, Guard, Slag, Echo, Flux, Gild, Order, and Temper effects with 30 run-changing relics. Spend one tactical Recast per battle to rescue a bad roll. Resolve three different families to forge a Masterwork, then choose its damage, defense, Slag, Cinder, Charge, or healing payoff by deciding which family lands last. Every trigger appears in a detailed combat log, with universal caps that keep even the wildest cascade understandable. MASTER THE FOUNDRY Choose from four blacksmiths with distinct health, repair rules, starter dice, and passive abilities. Fight 20 standard enemies, six elites, and three bosses whose intent cycles and presentation transform across three phases. After each victory, forge a socket and choose one of three seeded routes through recovery, resources, challenges, and relic shops. FAIR BY DESIGN Runs are deterministic and expose their seed. There are no hidden rerolls, pity timers, ads, accounts, energy systems, loot boxes, or purchasable power. The complete first act is free; one permanent purchase unlocks Acts II and III. BUILT FOR IPHONE Play one-handed in portrait with automatic save and resume, offline daily seeds, six Heat difficulty levels, a discovery ledger, high contrast, larger text, reduced motion and flash, independent audio controls, haptics settings, VoiceOver descriptions, and visible combat intent. Forge a different engine on every seed—and own every decision.
