Description
Steady your blade - and spin!
After my last game SUMMERHOUSE, I wanted to make something radically different. Still small, but faster, with numbers, fights and goblins!
The result is SLOTS & DAGGERS, a strange little blend of slot machine and fantasy RPG.
To make this game I combined a lot of things I deeply love – weird fantasy worlds, crude drawings of strange little guys, old school crunchy hiphop drum machines and addictive arcade games that go “PLING PLING PLING” as they spit out little coins – with classic roguelike mechanics.
The features of this game are:
Fun slot machine
Weird fantasy world
4-8 hour campaign
Crude drawings of strange little guys
Retro visuals
Crunchy hip hop drum machines
‘Egg arena’ high score mode for the truly determined
Addictive arcade gameplay that goes “pling” a lot
Numbers! Fights! Goblins!
As with SUMMERHOUSE, please keep in mind this game is a solo project - small, focused, and made with care. It’s meant to be short and sweet and doesn’t have the amount of content as games built by bigger teams over years, but I think it’s a fair deal!
I hope you have a good time with SLOTS & DAGGERS <3
Cheers,
Friedemann

User Reviews
Slots & Daggers is an interesting game that mixes roguelike mechanics with the popular luck-based game genre. And it's a perfect mix!
This game isn't annoying or stressful, but every new run is really satisfying.
It's a mini-roguelike, as the developer describes it, and it only takes a few hours to complete. But don't let that put you off!
Mechanics, atmosphere, and optimization are top-notch—the game speaks for itself, and I genuinely enjoy playing it. However, I am leaving a negative review solely due to the lack of Polish language support.
Paying full price calls for a fair, partner-like approach to a large and active market like Poland. Providing at least UI and subtitle localization is an industry standard, not a luxury. This negative rating is not meant to diminish your hard work—it is simply the only clear feedback metric developers take into account.
The moment Polish text localization is added, this review immediately turns into a solid recommendation. The ball is in your court.
Fun game to beat
There is nothing to do in this game, basically no replay value, really nice art but very laggy and the gameplay isn't all that fun. Don't buy the game and waste your money.
very good
