It’s not a game for players who demand total control or deep narrative storytelling, but for those who enjoy the tension of unpredictable outcomes and clever roguelike systems, this is one of the freshest takes in the genre. Slots & Daggers doesn’t just reimagine dungeon crawling — it turns it into a gamble you’ll want to keep taking.

Slots and Daggers is a simple RPG roguelite whose battle system is in the hands of the fate of a slot machine's reels. Earn coin, spend it between battles, and assemble a game-winning build as you traverse through ten different dungeons or Arena Mode.

Slots & Daggers is a really good time. The runs are quick, and after each one, I catch myself thinking, “If I just had that one item, I could have done better.” Progression feels a little uneven since new items only unlock after clearing a level, but the chips I earn let me buy mods that help balance things out. While there’s some flexibility in run builds, it doesn’t quite reach the depth of Balatro and its jokers. All that said, it's the perfect game to unwind after a long day at work.

Slots & Daggers turns a single clever twist into a legitimately thrilling roguelike: combat resolved through a slot‑machine delivers sharp, pulsey decisions, tactile feedback, and that irresistible “one more spin” momentum. Friedemann’s solo design chops are on display; the game feels handcrafted, immediate, and full of personality, with retro visuals, crunchy numbers, and a soundtrack that punctuates every clink of the reels.

Slots & Daggers is an unexpected surprise. It's a fantastic roguelite that combines chance, tactics, and addiction into a wonderfully fluid whole. The balance between luck and strategy is cleverly struck. Every run feels worthwhile, and every reward earned. The presentation is delightfully spectacular. There are a few minor flaws; the enemies could have used a bit more animation, but that's a minor detail. Ultimately, Slots & Daggers is a perfect snack game: light, fast-paced, yet with enough depth to keep you coming back for another gamble.

Slots & Daggers is a very entertaining and fun game that thrives on the one more turn aspect, while also making you think tactically. The story's not the point here, and power up pricing feels a bit hard, but those weaknesses are easy to overly when the gameplay is this satisfying.
