Evaluation

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles launched on September 21, 2023 and has remained in active development ever since. The studio, Little Leo Games, has shipped three major milestones post-launch: Mod Support (v1.1.0, April 18, 2024), a Daily Run mode alongside console releases on Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation (v1.2.0, September 26, 2024), and a mobile release on iOS and Android (July 21, 2025). These arrived at roughly 5–10 month intervals, with ongoing balance reworks and bug fixes throughout — the most recent patch landing on July 23, 2026. Development has been notably transparent. In November 2023, lead developer Leonardo Castanho shared that he was dealing with severe burnout from 65+ hour work weeks. In October 2024, he acknowledged becoming the sole programmer, which he said would slow things somewhat. Despite these challenges, the game has continued to receive substantial updates. Most recently, on August 20, 2026, publisher Akupara Games posted an announcement that Astrea will be featured in their Akupara Direct event on September 6, 2026, explicitly stating there is "Astrea news" to share — three years after launch. This suggests something new is in the pipeline, though no specifics have been disclosed yet. No developer statement has indicated that content development is complete or that support is ending.
Evidence
Astrea launched on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play), including Google Play Pass availability — third major post-launch milestone.

About this game

Astrea is a DICE-deck-building roguelike that flips the script on deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and a unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption. Build a dice pool strong enough to purify Astrea's out-of-control corruption and save the Star System.

• Unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption - In Astrea there is a new type of “damage” system. Purification can be used to damage enemies or heal yourself. On the other hand, corruption can be used to damage yourself or heal the enemies. Pacify enemies through Purification, or Corrupt yourself to unleash abilities that help tip the scales.


• Dynamic Health Bar system - With skills attached to your health bar, you can take Corruption to enable these skills and unleash powerful abilities. But be careful, if you take too much Corruption you will be consumed by it.

• Not cards, but dice! - Build a dice pool that fits your playstyle. Choose from over 350 dice and three dice types; reliably safe, perfectly balanced, or powerfully risky. A dice type system designed with high-risk, high-reward in its core.

• Customize your dice - Forge your fate by editing die faces with new actions, tipping the odds of powerful results into your favor.

• Choose from Six Brave Oracles - Each possessing their own unique dice sets, abilities, and playstyles. From ingenious spellcasters to brutish berserkers, whether you like beating the opponent into submission or outsmarting them with clever plays, there’s an oracle for you.

• 20 Upgradeable Support Sentinels - Enchanted constructs that offer supportive dice rolls making them reliable companions in the heat of battle.

• Uncover Over 170 Modifying Blessings - Imbue your Oracle with unique passives yielding potent effects that change up your fundamental tactics. Choose between Star Blessings, passive effects with lower power, or Black Hole Blessings, powerful passive effects with a drawback.

• More than 20 random events - Find mysterious locations that can change the course of your run.

• Manipulate your enemies and control your fate - Enemies attack using their own die, making it possible for you to manipulate their die to change their intent.

• 16 Difficulty Levels - Customize your experience using difficulty levels to test all your abilities.

Long ago - when ancient ruins were once flourishing civilizations and their populace lived in idyllic bliss - a mystical star governed all. Loyal disciples, called Six-Sided Oracles, were blessed by their star, granting them the strength to seal away the gift of heavenly bodies within mystic relics.

All was perfect and harmonious, until that one fateful day - The Crimson Dawn Cataclysm. A ferocious inferno sundered down from the sky, engulfing the entirety of the star system, crumbling the foundations of their society and corrupting the souls of the weak-willed. The disciples of the star were lost to the chaos - their creations scattered across a vast world of ruin. Could there still exist those who were capable of wielding their power?

Eons later, descendants of the Six-Sided Oracles embark on a journey to finish the failed battle that their predecessors started and save their star system.
