Spellsided is a strategy RPG where you play a hyper-customisable dice, and your challenges are ‘a puzzle of your own design’
Spellsided is an upcoming strategy RPG that inverts traditional game design by placing players in control of a hyper-customizable die rather than a character. Unveiled at the PC Gaming Show, the game reimagines the classic six-sided die as the protagonist, offering players extensive customization options to shape their gameplay experience.
The innovative “dice-builder” concept allows players to design both their character—the die itself—and the challenges they face. This player-driven design philosophy positions Spellsided as a strategy title where the puzzles and obstacles are essentially “of your own design,” giving players significant agency over their gaming experience.
The game represents a creative departure from traditional RPG conventions, sidestepping the prevalence of 20-sided dice in modern gaming culture popularized by Dungeons & Dragons. By centering the humble six-sided die, Spellsided taps into nostalgic board game mechanics while modernizing them for contemporary strategy gaming audiences.
With its emphasis on customization and player-created challenges, Spellsided appeals to strategy enthusiasts looking for games that reward creative thinking and personalized gameplay approaches. The title’s appearance at the PC Gaming Show signals interest from the gaming community, with the game listed on the show’s Steam page for wishlisting, indicating a planned PC release.
