The game was released on October 24, 2025, and unexpectedly became a great success. Its author, the sole developer, reported that sales exceeded 100,000 copies in the 10 days after release. The project has 94% positive reviews on Steam, and the peak number of players reached 2235 people simultaneously.
The secret to success lies in the original idea. Slots & Daggers is a roguelike-RPG where battles take place on a slot machine, reminiscent of a classic "one-armed bandit." The outcome of the battle depends on the symbols that appear on the reels: attack, spell, defense, or potion use.
This combination not only looks unusual, but also makes the gameplay addictive. The low price also contributed to the success — 224 rubles with a 30% discount.
Slots & Daggers is only available on PC and supports the Russian language. The first patch has already improved the balance, and the developer has stated that he will take a short vacation before deciding what to add in future updates.
