Shrimp Industries Unveils Roll the Bones Roguelite

If you’re a fan of roguelite games, then there’s a particular indie on the horizon that you should keep an eye on. Roll the Bones is the product of solo developer Luke Kabat, otherwise known as Shrimp Industries, and what he’s developing looks exciting, fresh, and infuriating in all of the best ways. 

Roll the Bones is a roguelite that sees the player using spells based on dice rolls. Facing off against fantasy enemies such as slimes, skeletons, demons, and rats, you’ll use the dice in your arsenal to try and make it through progressively more difficult dungeons. Of course, this is a roguelite, so you’ll need to upgrade those dice and spells if you want to make it through the higher difficulty dungeons. 

Roll the Bones Gameplay Trailer

In an exciting move in terms of development, the gameplay trailer for Roll the Bones has been released today (June 26):

Set to the fitting tune of Underdog by DAVIS, the trailer shows off how brutal and challenging the various levels of Roll the Bones are set to be, while also giving some indication as to how the dice-rolling mechanics will actually work. Dice rolling takes time, and players are encouraged to switch between their four available dice in sequence to minimize their downtime. With gorgeous pixel art and fascinating mechanics, this is definitely a roguelite to watch.

Roll the Bones is set for release at some point during the Fall, although there is no set release date for it just yet. If you want to learn more, you can head on over to Steam page for the game and wishlist it to receive updates.
