Dice of Kalma is an upcoming deck-building roguelike whose concept sounds simple, but when you realize you're rolling the dice against death itself, your brain immediately starts buzzing with all the possibilities.
Pocket Gamer connects Helsinki
You play against Kalma, the grim guardian of the Underworld. Each roll is a battle of luck and strategy, which determines your fate. Going further means unlocking more skulls, which will trigger, either turning the tide in your favor or dooming you to another round in the dark.
Over time, your deck becomes this strange reflection of how you've chosen to face Death. Accurate and calculating or wild and desperate. It's a satisfying kind of roguelike loop, too, where success feels earned and failure only makes the next run more tempting.
And maybe that's the trick: the more Kalma beats you, the more you start looking forward to the next round. And if Dice of Kalma plays even half as good as it looked in Helsinki, you'll probably find yourself coming back again and again for another shot.
