SpellRogue: Early access release date, trailers, gameplay & platforms
Roguelike games are unique in that they can seemingly combine with any genre to produce something new and fun, and even if it's been done before, there's always some new way to tackle things. SpellRogue is one of these games, combining turn-based gameplay and deckbuilding with a world of magic.

What is SpellRogue?
Click to enlargeSpellRogue is a turn-based, deckbuilding roguelike with a focus on magic spells. During combat encounters, you can utilise and manipulate Mana Dice to cast spells, allowing you to reroll, duplicate, split, flip, and even enchant die with special effects.
Before beginning your adventure, you pick a wizard archetype, which controls the type of gameplay mechanics you can utilise. For example, the Lapis wizard can control the "ebb and flow of Mana Dice" redirecting its force in a fight.

There is a story to complete though, meaning you won't be playing aimlessly, as your overall goal is to vanquish the corrupted Voidwalkers across the game's three acts.
