Dicewood Demo Update Adds Act II, Energy System, and Over 90 Animal Dice

Dicewood receives a massive demo update introducing Act II, an energy system, reworked map generation, and dozens of new enemies and relics.

The Dicewood demo has received its largest update yet, featuring over 2,000 repository commits worth of additions. Players can test a brand-new biome, an overhauled battle loop featuring an energy system, and expanded collection pools.

New Biome and Combat Additions

Act II introduces a brand-new biome packed with over 30 new enemies and a reworked map generation system. The core battle loop incorporates an energy system that gives players more dice choices each turn. The update also features a full enemy rebalance alongside more than 20 random encounters.

Expanded Content Pools

The demo's item pool expands significantly with over 90 animal dice in total. Players can also experiment with more than 60 relics and over 50 consumables while navigating the new encounters.

Why this patch matters

This massive content injection turns the Dicewood demo into a broader taste of the deckbuilder's core mechanics and expanded Act II content.
