Slots & Daggers — clever snack, mobile feel, thin on PC
Impressions note: These are my Slots & Daggers Impressions from a short take, not a scored review. Played on the current Steam PC build (Nov 5, 2025). If big updates land—PvP, leaderboards—I’ll revisit.
Indie perspective: If you’ve got a soft spot for small, oddball solo projects, this will likely charm you more than its PC depth suggests.
It really is a slot machine wearing a little fantasy cape—bells and “pling” coins, crude goblins, quick decisions. Fun to poke at, but it feels tuned for short bursts—not an hour-long sit-down PC session.
We had it in our GOTW 28 lineup. After more time, I’d call it a neat curiosity rather than a headline. A touch more color would help; the dark palette fits the vibe, but gets heavy fast. What I’m missing is a reason to stick around—head-to-head or real leaderboards, PVP would do wonders.
As a 15–20 minute break while you’re working on other things? Perfect. As a five-hour time sink? Not really the case here.

SLOTS & DAGGERS
Release: October 24, 2025
Genre: Roguelike, RPG, Strategy
Developer / Publisher: Friedemann / Future Friends Games
Platforms: PC — Steam
Verdict
Good for: quick spins and noise while you work. Not for: long PC sessions. Add PvP/leaderboards and a brighter look, and we’re talking.
Versus: CloverPit & coin-pusher cousins
Fair comparison. If I’m picking today, I’d take CloverPit—its tension curve and item play keep longer runs stickier. Compared with other coin-pusher-style games I’ve played this year, Slots & Daggers is the lighter “spin-and-go” option on PC.
