Press Kit

You're a gladiator, and your gear's stuck inside a slot machine. Spin to load up, gamble on the reroll, win your way out. Or go out swinging.

Description

One-liner

Slots & Slaughter is a roguelike deck-builder where your items are your deck, and a slot machine is how you ready them for the fight.

Short

Fight for survival as a desperate gladiator in a roguelike deck-builder where every spin can change your fate. Spin the slot machine to ready your gear, gamble on rerolls that grow more expensive, then roll a d20 and watch the fight play out. Earn gold, upgrade your deck, and buy your freedom, or die a legend who gambled it all away.

Long

Slots & Slaughter is a deck-building roguelike where your items are your deck. Each turn, spin the slot machine to ready your gear for battle. Don't like the result? Pull the lever again, but beware: every reroll grows more expensive. Once you're ready, roll a d20 to determine who goes first, then watch the action unfold in the arena. Even gladiators don't fight every day: between fights, spend your hard-earned gold to heal, upgrade, or buy new items for your deck. Defeat your opponents and earn enough glory to buy your freedom, or die a legend who gambled it all away. Developed by Laser Castle and published by Indieformer; in development, coming to Steam.
