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 slot machine that fights back – build synergies, break the reels, beat the odds
- A weird fantasy world drawn by hand, in all its crude glory
- 4–8 hour campaign with escalating challenges
- Egg Arena – an endless high-score mode for the truly determined
- Retro visuals with a hand-drawn, lo-fi charm
- Crunchy old-school hip hop drum machine soundtrack
- Quick runs, deep builds – perfect for a session on the go
- No ads, no in-app purchases, no real money involved – just the game
Numbers! Fights! Goblins! And a lot of PLING.

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

Fun but bugged?
I purchased S&D on switch 2. Liked it so much I got it on mobile. Problem is, when I finish a run it will tell me I get 50 upgrade chips yet I end up with like 14. :(
I will raise the rating back up to 5* when this bug is fixed. Game is unplayable otherwise for me.

Short and way too easy
Beat the game in just a few runs. Wish it was longer. Even the arena mode wasn’t anything special.

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!

Underrated
Very underrated. Reminds me of clover pit. Great time sink if you have a long flight.

Fun game but far too short and unbalanced
This is a fun little roguelike. The mechanics and the art design work well.
The problem is you can hit the ceiling on what you can do in this game in a couple of hours. That means completing the main story and collecting all of the modules for your slot machine.
Also there are dice rolling. I see nothing in the tutorial about what they are for.

Text is Unreadable - Do Not Buy
The text in the game is so small and low-contrast that it’s unreadable on iPhone, which makes the game unplayable and a waste of money.

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!

Good but has bugs I think
Very fun roguelite with great sounds, visuals, and strategy. However sometimes the next stage would be different (one or two ahead, or a previous one) with adjusted stats to match the current level of my items.
Additionally, some items (like the skull skill check) wouldn’t work properly and do its critical effect.
I’m also not sure on the accumulation of chips (meta progression currency) it feels like Im not making much metagame process despite having a breakthrough run and essentially doubling my high score.
I’m hopeful for the future, however.

Amazing… vision needed for text
First off, this game is fantastic. I love it. Scratches the gameplay loop itch. HOWEVER, please do something about the size of the text in that stupid little box to the right. It seems to me like there’s a lot of empty space around main interface and controls, where a zoom and some adjustment of that window size could go a long way. The colors also make it hard to see things. I’m on a Pro Max screen, and I can’t imagine playing on a regular iPhone.

Unreadable
Tried to play it a couple of times but the text is simply unreadable, with the tiny font, super pixelated letters, and terrible contrast. It’s too bad because the game looks like it might be fun, but it’s just too much work to try to read what each thing does. And half the screen is taken up with decoration so it didn’t have to be this tiny. Give us an option to fix any of those things — different font, larger size, anything, and it would be playable.

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.

Great game, hard to read
Tiny text is nearly impossible to read unless you have perfect vision. Desktop port needs more tuning for mobile phones. Then it’ll be great. Fun art and design otherwise.

Amazing!!
I never write reviews but I feel obligated to do so now. This game is crazy fun! Especially when I’m at work and need a quick fix lol. I will say I wish you’d extend the story version as I’ve beat it multiple times but I still play and try different builds. I will also say the arena version seems a bit unfair. One shotting me over and over and one shotting full shield is wild.

Soo hard to read
Even when I tap into the box to make the text larger, it’s still impossible to read. And the box doesn’t always become larger on top. Must be like 6px or something. Beautiful game otherwise.

Worth while
One of the best mobile games I have played in a minute. Great game to lay when you have plenty of time or just a few mins. Power scaling is great as well definitely a challenging game.

Needs Portrait Mode Please!
Amazing game! Very addicting replay loop! Keeps me super locked in during my train commutes. Thank you for making such a fun and addicting game. I only ask if you can give us the option to play it in Portrait mode!
