Get ready to embrace the cosmic dice! Little Leo Games and Publisher Akupara Games have let the cat out of the bag. Their new roguelike title, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, is set to hit PCs like a freight train on September 21st. If cultists corrupting galaxies and ancient artifacts are your jam, mark that date.
Roll Your Way Through Galactic Chaos
Astrea offers a unique spin, swapping out card decks for dice in its gameplay mechanics. This isn’t your grandma’s Yahtzee, folks. Players build a dice pool as they prepare to cleanse or corrupt—the game introduces a dual “damage” system, Purification and Corruption. It’s not just about defeating enemies; it’s about balancing your actions between purifying them or corrupting yourself. Tread carefully, as each action has its pros and cons.
What’s Your Damage? Dual Systems Explored
In the universe of Astrea, the concept of “damage” undergoes a revolutionary transformation. Purification serves as a double-edged sword that either heals you or damages enemies. In contrast, Corruption has a yin-yang effect—it can either hurt you or heal your foes. It’s a balancing act that’s as intense as a pro esports match.
Health Bars with a Twist
Astrea spices things up with a Dynamic Health Bar System. Skills are linked directly to your health bar. By embracing Corruption, you activate these high-octane skills. But here’s the kicker: go overboard with Corruption, and you’re toast.
Dicey Details: Customize Your Playstyle
Astrea lets you dive deep into dice mechanics, offering a choice of over 350 dice across three types—reliably safe, perfectly balanced, and powerfully risky. That’s not all—players can also edit the faces of their dice, tipping the scales in their favor for those high-reward plays.
Choose Your Oracle and Forge Your Fate
Six unique Oracles are up for grabs, each with their own dice sets, abilities, and playstyles. Whether you’re into spellcasting or prefer the more hands-on approach of a berserker, Astrea’s got an Oracle that suits your style.

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is currently available for wishlist on Steam, so you can lock in your spot for this interstellar odyssey.
Hey G-LYFE Nation, this one’s a whole new level of dice-rolling chaos. Prepare to cleanse or corrupt; the galaxy’s fate is in your hands, literally. Roll on!
