"Slots & Daggers is a tactical deckbuilding roguelike in which you curate a build, pull a lever, and pray for success. Except that as with any good slot-machine-style roguelike, there's actually a whole lot of strategizing and decision-making that goes into each run. You activate hidden bonuses depending on the combinations you roll and unlock more tools, including different slot machines with unique buffs, the more you play."
"Happy Friday-or whatever day it is that you happen to be reading this. As it's the end of the week, we here at Kotaku have pooled together some recommendations for what to spend your hard-earned free time on, especially if you're skipping out on any Halloween parties this weekend. This week we've got a deckbuilding roguelike for you to jump into that isn't Balatro, a narrative-focused game featuring Aaron Paul, a trip back to a sleepy slaughterfest of a town in 1960s Japan, and a wonderful science-experiment-meets-amusement-park that totally won't go wrong."
Slots & Daggers combines tactical deckbuilding with slot-machine mechanics where players curate builds, pull levers, and trigger hidden bonuses to unlock new tools and machines. The game emphasizes strategic decision-making despite RNG elements, using different slot machines and unique buffs to shape runs. Presentation plays a major role: visual effects, sound, and mechanic interactions make each pull feel satisfying while concealing deliberate psychological hooks. The selection of recommendations also includes a narrative-focused title featuring Aaron Paul, a return to a violent 1960s Japanese town, and an attraction blending scientific experiment and amusement-park spectacle.
