Dog Witch: Roll the Dice to Overthrow the Mad Master Wizard

Dog Witch is a charming and strategic roguelike deckbuilder developed by Heckmouse that features unique dice-driven combat mechanics. Published by Mystic Forge, this PC title blends the strategic depth of games like Slay the Spire with the fun unpredictability of dice rolling, creating an endlessly replayable adventure set to a dreamy, lo-fi soundtrack.

Game Story and Focus: The Canine Spellcaster's Revenge

The game places you in the paws of the titular Dog Witch, a magical canine spellcaster.

The Narrative: Your quest is driven by revenge. You must battle your way through strange, surreal landscapes to overthrow your former master, the Mad Master Wizard, who has wronged you (likely by withholding treats or calling you a bad dog).
The Focus: The primary gameplay focus is creating powerful, often ridiculous synergy builds across short, rewarding runs. The bizarre enemies—including gun-wielding Russian Dolls and vengeful Cat Ladies—ensure every encounter is a fresh, chaotic puzzle.

Key Features Defining the Dice-Driven Roguelike

Dice-Driven Spellcasting: Unlike traditional deckbuilders, your spells and actions are fueled by rolling a handful of enchanted dice each turn. You can use whatever five abilities are rolled, including attacks, shields, and mana, with limited re-rolls to adapt to the battlefield.
Over 150 Unique Artifacts: Discover and combine a vast array of magical artifacts and gear (wands, rings, necklaces, hats). These items evolve your dice faces, turning simple rolls into complex, devastating chain reactions.
Corrupted Item System: High-risk, high-reward. Choose corrupted variants of artifacts to gain immense power, often at the cost of taking damage or accepting other challenging debuffs.
Summon Unpredictable Allies: Build your own chaotic team by summoning allies like Laser Ponies, gun-toting rats, and skeletal sidekicks. Pairing them with relics creates unique combat synergies.
Deep Customization: Personalize your magical canine hero. Players can customize their fur, hat, bark, tail, and even their "chonk level," ensuring every Dog Witch is unique.
High Replayability (Hats): Once the core game is mastered, unlockable Dog Witch Hats introduce new playstyle twists and challenges, such as Boss Rush mode or runs limited only to Corrupted items, fundamentally changing the strategic approach.
