Good Shepherd Entertainment :
LOS ANGELES (Aug. 14, 2024) - Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment (Monster Train) and developers LEAP Game Studios and Tiny Ghoul today revealed the launch date for the first paid DLC of Dicefolk, the tactical roguelike praised for its inventive blend of dice-based combat with monster-catching mechanics. The new content, dubbed Will Chimeras Pack, will be available for purchase Aug. 19 for $4.99 on PC via Steam as a sizable free update also reaches Dicefolk on the same day. Both the Will Chimeras Pack and free update will also reach the Nintendo Switch version of Dicefolk this fall.
The Will Chimeras Pack boasts 21 all-new, spellcasting chimeras, the magical beasts at the heart of Dicefolk’s innovative combat. Alongside these powerful new allies, discover the Will Talisman, an ancient relic infused with the essence of forgotten sorcery that’s capable of taming the elusive, mana-wielding chimeras debuting in Will Chimeras Pack. These chimeras’ mana abilities add an entirely new layer to combat, shaking up the existing meta of Dicefolk’s satisfying reimagining of turn-based monster battling.
That’s just the beginning, though. Equip your chimeras with Will Chimeras Pack’s 10 brand-new, enchanted pieces of equipment to gain even more strategic possibilities in battle. Experiment with matchups to discover incredible combinations to make your party an unstoppable force on the battlefield. With these newfound powers, Dicefolk’s strategic opportunities vastly deepen, making the fight to defeat a malevolent sorcerer even more satisfying.
Coinciding with Will Chimeras Pack’s Aug. 19 release, Dicefolk will also offer a free update to all players including:
The new Special Mode, which offers 13 distinct challenges with unique modifiers
70+ new equipment items, including two new Relics
4 new bosses to defeat
The Fortune Talisman, which contains all Chimeras offered by other Talismans
10 new Steam achievements
Various fixes and quality of life improvements
Begin your quest in Dicefolk as a Chimera Summoner in a world on the brink of extinction thanks to the evil sorcerer, Salem. As Alea, a young Dicefolk hero, you encounter myriads of formidable creatures to choose from to join your group with the magic of your dice. Cultivate connections and recruit your favorite companions. Keep in mind all of your chimeras’ abilities to fully utilize your team’s strengths to defeat Salem and free your land from his grasp. With over 100 creatures and items to collect, the bounds of possibility feel endless.
