About You Die Today
You Die Today is a roguelike dungeon crawler that fuses deck-building with dice-based mechanics. Developed by Tabletale Games, it drops players into procedurally generated dungeons where each decision hinges on rolling dice and managing a customizable card deck. Released in 2025 for PC, it leans into tabletop aesthetics with its turn-based battles and resource management. The game’s charm lies in its chaotic yet strategic blend of luck and planning. Think of it as a digital board game where your deck and dice rolls dictate whether you survive the next room, or end up six feet under.
Gameplay
Each session starts with building a deck from available cards, each tied to specific dice types. During combat, you roll D4s, D6s, and D20s to trigger abilities, with higher rolls granting stronger effects. Encounters unfold in grid-based rooms where positioning matters; enemies adapt to your tactics, forcing you to pivot strategies. Resource management is key, you can’t spam high-impact cards without conserving dice for critical moments. Outside battles, you explore dungeons, collect new cards, and upgrade your deck between runs. The roguelike structure ensures no two playthroughs feel the same, though permadeath means one misroll can end your adventure.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate You Die Today 76% positive, with 78% completing their first full run. Average playtime is 12.4 hours, though 23% of players report feeling “curious” about its mechanics, while 15% call it “anxious” due to its punishing difficulty. Reviews highlight the dice system as “refreshing but inconsistent” and praise the deck-building depth. One user wrote, “It’s like gambling with your strategy, thrilling when it works, frustrating when it doesn’t.” Completion rates drop to 54% for subsequent runs, suggesting a steep learning curve.
PlayPile's Take
You Die Today is best for fans of tactical deck-builders and dice-driven strategy. While its 76% positive rating reflects solid design, the grindy progression and high skill ceiling may deter casual players. With no price listed yet, it’s unclear if the 42 achievements (38% average completion) justify the investment. If you enjoy optimizing systems and don’t mind repeated deaths, it’s worth a try. But if unpredictability grates on you, save your coins.
