Evaluation

Die For The Lich is a two-person indie project that entered Steam Early Access on November 10, 2025. Since launch, the team shipped meaningful updates at a healthy pace: a physics and new boss update in December 2025 (v0.9), and another major content drop with a new boss and enemies in January 2026 (v0.10). On January 14, 2026, the developers published a roadmap targeting a Q1 2026 push that included The Lich boss — the game's namesake and final boss — and a v1.0 release. However, on April 3, 2026, the developers posted a candid update stating that the scope of the project had grown far beyond their original plans, creating significant financial and personal strain on the two-person team. They announced a development hiatus with no specified return date. This is the last communication from the studio. The Lich boss fight and the v1.0 release promised in the January roadmap have not been delivered, and it is currently unclear whether or when development will resume.

About this game

You want to endlessly roll dice and battle folklore monsters? We got you covered.

Roll magical dice, collect rare loot, nudge your fate in the right direction, slay folklore creatures and finally face the King of Undead, The Lich!

With Die for the Lich, we set out to recreate the magic of playing a unique deck-builder for the first time.
We replaced cards with dice that you need to pair with your gear and the game took on a life of its own, a curious blend of strategy, chaos, and pushing your luck!

Will you strike the perfect balance between dice, weapons, abilities and trinkets?
Do you wish to always roll what you need, then find a Lucky Die.
Do you need custom made dice, then visit the Dice Fusion table.
Do you want to re-roll 1s, then grab the Eye Patch ability.
Do you think you are strong enough for a tougher battle, then seek the Blood Moon.
The options are endless and there is nothing more exciting than having your own unique journey in a chaotic world.
