Slots & Daggers

A random indie discovery, yet an amazing one! Highly addictive concept of slot-machine based duels involving well-thought gameplay mechanics (item synergies, combos, consumables allowing rerolls or heals etc.). First runs you'll get steamrolled, but the farther you go, the more casino chips you receive each run which allow you to buy permanent upgrades (critical hit chance, add 1 then 2 more slot wheels to your original 3 only, more HP regen each turn and so on). The story makes hilariously no sense whatsoever, probably on purpose, but does a roguelike really need one? Not really. There's also a challenge mode supposedly allowing for an endless run designed to test the strength of your builds (or your luck at slot rolls xP) but the lack of monster variety - 50 Shades of an Egg-shaped... monster? - is a bit dull (and also weirdly limiting as to the number of bonuses you can collect) and thus not particularly interesting. All in all though, for the price vs fun factor this little unsuspecting gem is a real steal! It should definitely swallow a couple dozen of your hours trying out all kinds of combos - and cursing the devs in laughter as your high-damage dealing axe keep dealing 0 damage because RNG always makes it spawn before your shield items which trigger its damage multiplier! 😆 Gameplay: 10/10 Performance: 11/10 (could run on your toaster & smartwatch) Art: 8/10 (you have to like raw pixels & voxels) Story: WTF/10 Replay value: 9/10 (you'll unlock everything after a dozen hours, but wheel-spinning is a highly addictive brain hack which worldwide casinos are perfectly aware about - and the devs too!) Fun factor: 10/10 Price range: 10/10

100% in about 3 hours. Definitely faster than most. I played on fast mode. Very unique and satisfying game. Worth every penny.

W artstyle, very fun, bomb on top. Beaten in 3.2 hours.

Simple. Efficace. Une friandise...

Fun game between fighting and gambling, sweet beloved gambling

Fantastic game, but sad to see there's no more content once you finish it.
