Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Archon Soul”. Archon Soul is a 2D roguelike dice-builder where you create powerful dice using swappable faces, runes, and bodies with unique effects. ​Draft spells, craft powerful synergies, defeat challenging enemies, and conquer the Archon’s palace.
Anyone who has spent a few hundred hours in Slice & Dice or Dicey Dungeons and started wondering whether the dice themselves could be the deckbuilding material will find PolyGryph’s Archon Soul answering that question with unusual thoroughness. Released July 29, 2026 under the Goblinz Publishing banner (with Maple Whispering co-publishing) and sitting Very Positive at 88% across 167 reviews, this is a 2D roguelike dice-builder in which you do not just roll dice, you build them: swap the faces, socket in runes, change the body, and chase the kind of compounding synergies that turn a humble d6 into a genuinely obscene engine. The numbers behind the pitch are the good part, 40 runes and 30-plus dice bodies giving each die more than 65,000 possible configurations, over 200 spells spread across the Gaiamancer, Pyromancer, and Thaumancer (plus a secret fourth mage), four acts of the Archon’s palace to climb, and 40 achievements for anyone who wants to see everything the system can do. Beautiful illustrated artwork from Anais Lehoux and Natalya Samutina, a score from Ofelia Argiro, full Windows, macOS, and Linux support, a free demo, and fourteen dollars gets you in. For a genre this crowded, building a genuinely novel core hook is the hard part, and Archon Soul has clearly managed it.
