Introducing Odds Chronicles, a new tactical roguelite RPG that features dice-roll battles set on diorama-like stages. You play in a fallen kingdom as Evryn, a former royal bodyguard in that kingdom in a tabletop-inspired fantasy story. It’s in development for PC and due out in 2026.
Developed by eSolu and Team Mojo Games, Odds Chronicles renders its tactical diorama battlefields in Unreal Engine 5 and is doing its best to embrace its tabletop inspiriations. “Click to roll or throw the dice yourself, then use every face like a weapon,” the developers said. “Generate resources – Strength, Dexterity and Magic – to fuel abilities. Charge powerful skills over time or unleash them immediately. Unused resources fill a bonus gauge, granting Wild Dice that can shift the tide of battle.”
“As a royal bodyguard, you failed your King, and lost your honor,” the developers note. “A tyrant now rules, her lieutenants crushing the realm. You returned too late…but revenge still burns. Your revenge against the tyrant ended in defeat. But instead of dying, you awaken in the Tavern Outside of Time, a mysterious place forged from memories…To reclaim the kingdom of Lynn and restore your legacy, you must fight through ever-shifting regions and confront the truth behind your revenge.”
You’ll be able to upgrade and swap abilities mid-run on the branching-choices story path; collect dice enhancements, abilities, and consumables; then beat the boss at the end of your run to Memory Shards that grant permanent new powers when you return to the Tavern to start again.
You can wishlist Odds Chronicles on Steam if you’re interested.
