Little Leo Games

Little Leo Games is an independent Brazilian video game developer based in São Paulo. Founded in 2018 and formally incorporated in February 2019, the studio develops games for PC, consoles and mobile devices. Its work combines tabletop-inspired systems, turn-based strategy and expressive 2D artwork, with a particular focus on mechanics that ask players to balance tactical choices and risk.

The studio's early work included experimental game jam projects and casual games, followed by the mobile arcade release Super Blender. These projects preceded its larger commercial production, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, a roguelike built around dice rather than a conventional deck of cards.

From tabletop prototype to multiplatform release

Development of Astrea began with a prototype in April 2020. Drawing inspiration from physical board games and digital deck-building roguelikes, the project developed into a system featuring more than 350 custom dice. Its central Purification and Corruption mechanics connect attacks, healing and resource management, making the consequences of each roll part of the player's strategic planning.

Akupara Games signed the project in 2021 as its publishing partner. Astrea launched on PC on September 21, 2023, and surpassed 100,000 copies sold within four months. Console versions followed on September 26, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The game subsequently reached iOS and Android on July 17, 2025.

Development capabilities

Little Leo Games' production capabilities span game design, mechanics prototyping, programming, 2D concept art, interface design, visual effects and frame-by-frame animation. Its work also includes engineering and porting across desktop, console and mobile platforms.

The studio's visual and mechanical specialties meet in Astrea, which pairs a cosmic Gothic aesthetic with tactical dice-based combat. Its broader portfolio reflects an ongoing interest in compact arcade ideas and experimental interactive systems alongside more substantial strategy game development.
