SLOTS & DAGGERS is a roguelike in a slot machine.
Spin the reels, chain symbols into combos, and turn every pull into damage, gold and upgrades. Build your machine run by run, then take it into the dungeon and fight your way through a weird little fantasy world full of goblins, monsters and strange little guys.
Every spin matters. Every symbol you add changes the odds. And every run ends with the same question: one more?
FEATURES

A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER
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.
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 hip hop drum machines and addictive arcade games that go "PLING PLING PLING" as they spit out little coins – with classic roguelike mechanics.
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!
Cheers,
Friedemann
An even better RPG aspect to the game I already greatly enjoyed, Clover Pit. This is an amazing rogue-lite and just thoughtful around all of the details with the aspects of an rpg pixel rogue lite and a refreshing way to spin a slot to chance your outcome. Hats off to the devs! I did notice after maxing my graphics settings to 120FPS and set to ‘High’ my phone gets extremely hot after about 10 mins of game play. Running an iPhone 17 pro max with Apple case. Cant imagine this wouldn’t be able to handle, as other games with much more frame change don’t overheat at similar settings. Other than maxing in-game graphics triggering overheat, I have seen no other issues!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the detailed review and the kind words! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the game.Regarding the heat: we’re aware of the issue on iOS, especially at 120 FPS and High settings. An update with performance improvements is coming in the next few days, with the goal of reducing device temperature and improving efficiency. If you still notice excessive heat afterward, we’d really appreciate your feedback.
Fun Game, But Too Short

The game is very solid and I have a couple of tips to make it even better. I beat the game very quickly and then played endless mode until I unlocked everything and completed all achievements. Unfortunately, I was able to do this too quickly and too easily. More thoughtful achievements would give players more reason to continue playing after unlocking all items. It would also encourage different builds than some of the more obvious broken builds that I won’t spoil here. Maybe add more levels of difficulty that make it harder to find optimal builds by making coins more scarce or put less items in the shop so it’s not so easy to get any build you want. And finally, the words were hard to read, so find some way to improve the item text with brightness or size. Enjoy the game everyone!
Came here after Balatro

I saw another review mention Balatro and the video trailer got me intrigued. I just went all in and bought it and it is FUN. The way I started playing the game is not hy any means how I prefer to play it now, and the satisfaction you get from the slots and ultra long combos is NICE. My only complaint is the game is too short! Just being selfish and complaining I want more!!!! More perks to unlock and level up, more items and weapons to roll, more campaign levels, and more crazy weird arena levels! Overall love the game and strongly recommend it!
I Know This Game Can Be Great…

I know this game can be very fun and addictive, but I can’t get past the tutorial boss due to the game freezing / crashing. I am on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, playing on the lowest possible settings with just about everything extra like vibration and camera shake turned off and the game always freezes after I stop my 3rd spin. The audio is still playing but my screen is completely frozen and it does not respond to taps. I am forced to close the app and reopen it to an entirely fresh run with nothing saved. I am able to recreate this on every single run without fail. Again, I know how awesome this game can be and I just want to be able to experience it for myself. I’m pretty bummed about this but I’m hopeful there will be an update soon as I bought the game the day I am writing this review.
