About This Game

Venture into a dark dungeon where every choice, every roll of the dice, and every strike can mean glory… or death. Cut down any creature that dares stand in your way and forge your destiny by leveling up and rolling the dice to enhance your stats.

Discover powerful weapons and armor hidden in secret chests or sold by greedy merchants—gear capable of turning the tide of battle.

Defeat the Four Legendary Bosses. Conquer the Longo Itinere. Evil must fall.

Once you have chosen your hero, you will roll a total of five six‑sided dice (D6), one for each of the following attributes:

STR (Strength)
CON (Constitution)
DEX (Dexterity)
INT (Intelligence)
WIS (Wisdom)

These attributes are essential for progressing effectively through the dungeon, as they influence not so much the hero themselves, but rather their ability to maximize the damage dealt with specific weapons.



This is the game world and the interface that will guide you throughout your entire adventure in the dungeon. You can check your health, experience bar, hero stats, abilities, and the number of available action slots on the right side of the screen!



After defeating the first monster or group of monsters, you will gain access to the main map.

Monsters, treasures, bosses, rest points, and merchants are represented by specific icons, whose positions change with every playthrough, ensuring that each adventure is different from the last.



Once you click on an accessible point (indicated by the small yellow circle), your icon will move there and explore that location.

WARNING Once an area has been discovered and all available actions have been completed (combat, purchasing items from the merchant, collecting treasures, or restoring health at a rest point), the area will be emptied. You can click the tile again to explore alternative paths, but it will now be an empty zone.



During your journey, you may encounter a Merchant who will offer you 3 random items. If you have enough money, you can purchase weapons or equipment; otherwise, you’ll need to leave using the designated button, losing the chance to buy from that merchant.

But don’t worry—the dungeon is full of market areas, so there’s no need to despair! Your COMPULSIVE SHOPPING for weapons and gear will come later!



Colors are not chosen at random—they are carefully designed to assist the player.

Thanks to the color coding, you can immediately understand which stats influence the effect of a given item.

Each item has limited durability and a specific number and type of dice that the game will roll to calculate the actual damage dealt to creatures when the item is used.



Dice and Blades is a déjà vu—at Planet Studios, that’s exactly how we like to describe it. Those who choose this title do so to give themselves the chance to relive—or perhaps experience for the very first time—a world that, despite its modest 2D graphics and chaotic effects, still manages to deliver that spark of magic that once made video games gateways to the stars. A time when Space Invaders ruled the arcades, and the pinnacle of “PvP” was Pong, released by Atari back in ’72.

In a market saturated with big brands and even bigger disappointments, Tartarus Dice and Blades aims—through its bold colors and embarrassingly charming 8‑bit monsters—to captivate players and keep them coming back for more.

We believe not only in the project itself, but also in you—the players who sift through shelf after shelf in search not of just another game, but of an experience. With your support, we will take Dice and Blades far. Many updates are already in development to prove a simple truth: a game is not defined by its graphics, but by the gameplay that truly makes the difference.
