Cheat Death
You’re alone with the Grim Reaper in a cold, haunted void, and the only way out is to win. Every hand you build, every die you roll, and every trick you pull could be the difference between walking away and losing everything.
Cheat Death is a dark strategic roguelite from developer GG Studio. Facing off against Death in a twisted game of dice poker, you’ll master different dice types, stack upgrades and boons, and bend the rules with grim items and dirty tricks, all while surviving deadly mini-games where your life is genuinely on the line.
What Makes It Different?
- Play dice poker against the Grim Reaper in a dark, strategic duel for survival
- Master different dice types, each carrying its own unique effect
- Build powerful poker hands and shape explosive synergies across a run
- Use grim items and relics to reroll, manipulate results, and rig the odds
- Sabotage Death’s plans before the final reveal with dirty tricks of your own
- Survive high risk mini-games like Roulette and the Wheel of Fortune
- Face constant tension in a single, sustained duel with everything at stake
Every Die Tells a Different Story
Dice in Cheat Death aren’t interchangeable. Each type carries its own unique effect, and learning how they interact with one another is what turns a random roll into a genuine strategy. Assembling those dice into powerful poker combinations rewards careful planning over blind luck, and as a run progresses, the build you shape around your favourite dice types starts to define how you approach every subsequent hand.
Rig the Game Before Death Can
Winning honestly is one option, but Cheat Death gives you plenty of ways to tilt the odds first. Grim items and relics let you reroll at the perfect moment, manipulate results in your favour, or protect your own hand from interference, while dirty tricks aimed at the Reaper himself can disrupt his plans before the cards, or dice, are finally revealed. Knowing when to play it straight and when to cheat is central to surviving the encounter.
How Long Does a Run Take?
An average run in Cheat Death lasts roughly 20 to 45 minutes. The exact length fluctuates depending on your pacing, how many dice combinations you manage, and whether you survive the high stakes, life or death mini-games like Roulette needed to extend your current run.
