Decent 13

Was a nightmare but I beat it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3477823471 Been grinding decent since a week ago and it feels good to to have finally beaten all decent difficulties. It took me about 46 runs from decent 0-13. A lot of these modifiers are absolutely wretched which makes me feel like decent difficulties 0-3 are easy mode, 4-7 is normal mode and 8-13 is just pain.

SpellRogue 1.0.1 - First round of improvements!

Apr 30

Greetings Dice Slingers!

The response to SpellRogue’s 1.0 launch has been incredible - thank you all for the support, bug reports, and feedback. It's been awesome seeing how much fun you're having with the game (we're having just as much fun watching and playing too).

That said, we’re committed to keeping SpellRogue polished and fun, and we’re actively addressing feedback as more players dive in. Today’s update is a mix of bug fixes, early balance passes, and some handy quality of life tweaks, many of which came directly from your discussions in the SpellRogue Discord[discord.gg] and elsewhere.

Balance Changes

To start, we’ve identified a few normal encounters that were too challenging. These include the Dread Treant, Wrath Voidling (the frenzy doggo from Act 4), Desert Golem, the Crones, and the humble Corrupt Friar (our small mushroom priest) and more.

As many of you pointed out, the Spell Mirror status effect was causing more frustration than fun, especially for builds that rely on big, single-target spells.

We’ve reworked it so that Spell Mirror now wears off at the end of the turn, giving you the chance to either wait it out or use a smaller spell to clear it. This should reduce the feel-bad moments while keeping the mechanic strategically interesting. Related Mutators have been adjusted to reflect the change.

On the player side, we’re focusing on buffing underperforming spells and items, particularly within some of the weaker Spellsets. Signature dice manipulation spells like Gust, Mana Purification, and Mana Splinter have all gotten an extra Charge for the added flexibility. Other Spellset’s such as the first Air set that includes Electrolyze has also received some light buffs, in the form of a buff to the attack spell Zap and the often taken starter artifact that grants Static every third turn.

Some spells have gotten more charges, adjusted values or are now easier to cast.

Of course, we have also taken a pass on many more regular spells (particularly Air spells), which you can check out in the full balance changelog at the end of this post.

Quality of Life improvements

We’ve also included some helpful Quality of Life improvements, such as adding tooltips in spots where players were often looking for more information. The Disenchant button now also behaves differently by default. After disenchanting a spell, the button will automatically disable itself. This change helps prevent accidentally disenchanting the new spell you were trying to place in the now-empty slot, which was a mistake we saw happen quite a bit.

If you prefer the original behavior, where Disenchant remains active, you can disable “Safe Disenchant” in the Interface options menu.

Thoughts on difficulty in accessing Act 4

We've seen some discussion around Act 4 feeling tough to reach, and we wanted to clarify our intent a bit.

The True Ending is meant to be a major challenge, and we recommend trying it first on lower Descent levels. High Descent runs are designed for players chasing extreme difficulty, so consistently reaching and beating Act 4 at those levels isn’t expected.

That said, this is something we’ll keep an eye on as more of you hit the endgame content. If it turns out the curve feels off, we’re open to revisiting things.

Option to Disable Equipping New Spell When Slot is Available

Had an Azur instantly end once I went into battle. I really liked the build, used an upgraded Mana Purification to interact with the countdown spell in the far right position. As the spell in the far right position was specifically designed to work with 2, and only 2 countdown spells. the positioning and available spells was critical. The battle before the boss picked up a spell to eventually disenhant for money led to the new spell being in the far right spot, and ultimately ending the run without being...

This game is super fun, but the down side is imo it feels way to easy. I played the demo and even wish listed it and bought it the day the game came out. I only have 6 hours in the game but have beat the whole game with all of the characters. It does not take much to make 1 hero super OP by the end of the 2nd arc. The flame hero you can build to just 1 tap everything on turn 1. The water hero can get like 100 shield and just never take damage as you loop through damaging spells. Earth is kinda the same way pretty much just never really taking damage. The lighting hero was kinda of funky feeling with the shifting cards and stuff. I honestly ignored that and just went with cards and relics that would let me reroll die in order to just stack static and end my turn dealing like 50 damage every round. To show you how busted the water guy skills are I got an event that let me pick any card from 1 of the element heros. I picked water and chose to get def equall to 5X how many enemies i was facing. That being said i could put a 4-6 in the socket and get off the bat 15 shield. The build i had could easily let me have like 8 dice at a time. so putting a low 4 was legit zero prob and i never really had to worry about damage. I REALLY love this game along with slay the spire, but it just feels like a bit of a to easy time to clear through each stage. Either focus straight Def and widdle, or MAX out attack each turn to just not let them do damage to you. Devs if you see this I just want you to know the game is amazing BUT i just wish the hardness was bumped up a tad. I just feel like a god most of the times I do a run.

10 hours in on Descent 7 and now I start to see the cracks of this game. SpellRogue is phenomenal as you discover all the different characters and builds, with a healthy balance of managing the inherent randomness in dice through a diverse spell build and optimizing for maximum synergy. The early levels are quite simple and do not require too much optimization to get a win, you can really explore and enjoy the diversity of the game here. Pathing in SpellRogue lacks creativity though, with most maps pointing to one obvious choice if you're looking to win.

The main method of making this game difficult is through negative mutators that you must select at the start of each act. Mutators range from giving your opponent simple advantages or you disadvantages to more build breaking ones as you unlock them at higher descent levels. I'm hoping this gets reworked in the future, where stacking high tier mutators or combination of multiple low tier mutators at each level ends up being game crippling. The balance is off in that starting levels are too easy and middle to late levels become too difficult and rely on your luck of the mutators, severely limiting the possible builds available. It's also just too lazy to variably increase or decrease the values in the game for the purposes of making the game difficult, and doesn't give much of a risk/reward factor. Hopefully, harder variety of enemies get introduced as part of the mutator process or descent level progress, which become a more engaging choice especially if enemies give more interesting or rarer rewards, amping up the risk/reward factor.

For now, this game should be on your watch list if you enjoy Slay the Spire or Dicey Dungeons.

The best part of any deck builders are synergies. And by golly the synergies in this game are very nice. It's easier than other rogue like deck builders to find a nice synergy without being too easy and boring. Some of this chain reactions you can pull in this game are very gratifying, which is what you want from a rogue like deck builder. I recommend at full price or sale.

Hello Although cloud save it activated and seems to sync correctly when closing the game, if I launch the game on Steam Deck, play, then close it. And then come back to my desktop PC and launch the game, nothing carries over. It is like I am playing two separate games. Please can this be resolved? It would be appreciated!...

Azar Wounded strategy pointess in 1.0.0?

Wounded does not go through armor now. (the game is lacking armor pierce effect badly at the moment - infinite armor stacking is the universal way to win against anything). Vitality does dmg loss reduction instead of healing back. (Why would someone even play this ritual now?) At least, the Vitality effect really needs a rebalance - it can be played once per 3 turns and stays for 1 turn only :D It should be something meaningful and game changing... All trigger effects remained as "on health loss". Blood...
