Mystic Forge and solo indie developer Heckmouse have announced DOG WITCH, a brand new turn-based dice-powered deck-building roguelike coming to PC via Steam later in 2025.
The game sees players becoming the legendary Dog Witch (half dog, half witch), and using magical dice to unleash powerful combos to take down crazy enemies. The game is said to be "brimming with enchantment and humor for a doggone good time!"
Here is the official overview and trailer as provided by Sandbox Strategies.
Overview:
DOG WITCH combines the best of dice-driven roguelikes and deckbuilders to deliver a rich strategic experience. With quick runs, you’ll harness diverse item sets, discover new synergies and face off against a wide variety of enchanted creatures inspired by the likes of Adventure Time - each requiring clever thinking to master. If you enjoy the strategic layering of games like Slay The Spire or the dice-rolling unpredictability of Dicey Dungeons, DOG WITCH offers a deeply replayable adventure that will keep you discovering new angles run after run.
Face off against vengeful Cat Ladies, gun-weilding Russian Dolls and questionable milk vending machines and much more. Each short run is packed with discovery: combine over 150 magical artifacts (and their corrupted counterparts), summon unpredictable allies, and master the whims of enchanted dice. Easy to pick up, hard to master - DOG WITCH rewards clever builds, bold experimentation, and the ability to adapt on the fly. So grab your dice, build your deck of playful spells, and discover millions of synergistic possibilities on this tail-wagging adventure!
Key Features:
Dice-Driven Mayhem: Every dice roll fuels your spells, powers up combos, and triggers unpredictable item effects. No passive rolling - just fast-paced, high-stakes action that keeps every run fresh!
Short & Snappy Runs, Endless Replay: The more you experiment, the deeper the strategies become. Dive into short sessions that each feel distinct, thanks to randomized items and upgrades. Master the tension between luck and planning to optimize each run.
Over 150 Items (Plus "Corrupted" Twists): Mix and match spells, relics, and silly dog-themed gear, then push your luck with corrupted variants for extra power (and extra risk).
Absurdly Quirky Enemies: Battle gun-wielding Russian Dolls, vengeful Cat Ladies, and questionable Vending Machines. Each encounter is a chaotic puzzle, testing your synergy-building skills in unexpected ways.
Summon Doggo Friends: Need friends? Summon Laser Ponies, gun-toting rats, skeleton sidekicks and more to fight by your side. Pair them with relics and spells to trigger clever chain reactions that tip even the wildest battles in your favor.
Switch-up Your Style, Switch up your Strategies: Once you think that you have mastered the game, try on different Dog Witch hats, each one introduces their own unique new twists and challenges which require clever new strategies to overcome.
Craft Your own Magical Pup: Choose your fur, hat, bark, and even your chonk level. Recreate your own pet or conjure something cursed.
