About This Game

Crit Happens! is a dice-building, turn-based roguelike where you roll your dice to attack! The higher your roll, the more damage you'll deal with your attacks. You can roll your dice at least 3 times, and hold the dice you're happy with. It's up to you to balance risk vs reward.

Acquire powerful trinkets and relics as you travel through these dangerous lands, changing the way you think about each turn. Trinkets will particularly change the way you tackle each turn; trinkets set objectives that must be met in order to apply unique multipliers to your attack. Your currently active trinket is always cycling through your collection at the end of each turn, so you'll be re-thinking your dice rolls all the time!

Finding new dice faces on your journey and crafting them onto your dice will allow you to apply special effects to your attacks! Upgrading your dice will be essential to conquering the dungeons! With the right dice you'll be able to inflict status effects on enemies, like burn, bleed, paralysis or confusion. Some dice can even apply buffs to yourself, like shield or reflect.

Features:

  • Build your dice as you play, enhancing your strength as you continue your journey.

    There are a variety of dice faces you'll find on your adventure, each with its own unique effect that can be applied to your attacks. You'll get to fully customize each of your dice each time you find a new face.

  • Change the way you play by discovering new trinkets and relics.

    Trinkets can be found throughout your journey; each affecting the way your attack is calculated. Each turn will cycle through your collection of trinkets, forcing you to tackle each turn from a different perspective. Relics offer permanent effects, empowering certain dice faces, or simply increasing your health.

  • Journey across the dangerous, ever-shifting lands.

    The world is ever-changing, with no two runs being the same. Travel through harsh deserts and blistering snowstorms, as you choose your path via your trusty map. Will you prioritize safe havens, or brave the elite enemies in hope of rewards?
