SpellRogue

About SpellRogue

SpellRogue is made by Guidelight Games and published by Ghost Ship Publishing, and reached version 1.0 on Steam in April 2025 for Windows. You play a wizard fighting back against the Voidbringers, whose meteors of corruption have warped the world into regions such as the Deadwoods and the Scorched Desert.

Combat revolves around Mana Dice. Each turn you roll them and spend the results to cast the spells in your deck, but you can bend the odds: reroll, duplicate, split or flip dice, and enchant them with special effects. Enemies fight back against your system, with mushrooms that infect spells with debuffs, fire elementals that make spells risky to cast and Voidbringers that curse your dice.

The Daily Challenge, found on the character select screen, builds each day's run from the game's custom game system: a seeded run with a set of modifiers, and a leaderboard for every Daily Challenge. Updates in 2025 added new daily modifiers, reworked the daily algorithm for more varied and sometimes very tough combinations, fixed seeding so the daily is consistent, and added score breakdowns when you hover over leaderboard entries.

It plays at your own pace with full controller support. It suits deckbuilder fans who enjoy managing luck, and anyone who likes comparing one shared run with other players.

How to play SpellRogue

1. Buy and install SpellRogue on Steam.
2. Open the Daily Challenge from the lower left of the character select screen.
3. Roll your Mana Dice each turn and use them, rerolled or altered, to cast spells from your deck.
4. Get as far as you can and compare your score on that day's leaderboard.

Tips

• Read the day's modifiers first: some, like a low starting health, change how cautious you need to be.
• Value spells and artifacts that let you change dice, since they turn bad rolls into good ones.
• Check the score breakdowns of top leaderboard entries to see what the best runs did.
