Playstack and Pengonauts have announced that Dicevaders will launch for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on September 29. Set in the StarVaders universe, the game flips the usual heroic perspective and lets players command the invading aliens in a dice-driven roguelike deckbuilder. Units are placed on a turn-based grid, with positioning, artefacts, upgrades and tactical combinations determining how successfully humanity's day is ruined. Despite the prominent dice, the developers emphasise decision-making rather than simply praying to the random-number generator and pretending every disastrous roll was part of the strategy. Switch 2 players will also receive optional mouse controls, a feature that is becoming one of the more quietly useful differences between Nintendo's two generations of hardware. Dicevaders is deliberately smaller and more focused than StarVaders, but its boss-side perspective and compact strategic structure could make it well suited to portable play. September has hardly been short of enormous games demanding forty hours and several gigabytes of emotional commitment, so a tactical alien invasion built around short roguelike runs feels almost considerate. Humanity may be doomed, but at least the apocalypse respects your lunch break.
