About the Game

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
