Dicevaders FAQ

A dice-based roguelike deckbuilder by Pengonauts, published by Playstack. You lead an alien invasion from the StarVaders universe: buy units, place them on a six-column grid, then launch dice into the columns to score until your attack beats Earth's defense.

Dicevaders, one word, on Steam and the Nintendo eShop. Early playtest posts wrote it as DiceVaders, and the logo splits it over two lines as DICE / VADERS, which is why both spellings get searched.

Reviewers compare the two more than any other game: both are score-chasing roguelikes where Mult turns small numbers into huge ones. Dicevaders adds dice placement on a grid and commanders, and it launched with a bundle that pairs it with Balatro on Steam.

No. It is set in the same universe and the StarVaders pilots are the bosses, but the story and systems stand alone. StarVaders is a more precise tactics game; the developer describes Dicevaders as more about builds and long-term decisions.

Ten. The Captain, Blob Girl and The Core are available from the start; seven more unlock through play, and The Overseer merges two others.

The developers run a shared StarVaders / Dicevaders Discord (linked from the Steam page). We did not find an official Dicevaders subreddit; the Steam forum is where the developer answers questions.

Yes, on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, released the same day as Steam (September 29, 2026) at $14.99.

Not as of October 1, 2026. Players have asked about a mobile port and a GOG release on the Steam forum; neither has been announced.

No, by design. The developer explained that Mini-Dice, random targeting and real infinite loops make an exact preview misleading; instead there is a Rewind button in the pause menu that replays the turn with the same seed.

Players have asked for a run history like StarVaders has; it is not in the game at launch, so screenshot a big score before leaving the victory screen.

Players have asked when the OST will be sold; no release has been announced as of October 1, 2026. The final soundtrack went into the game with demo patch 0.95a.
