This month a new tactical dice game was released on Steam, which has already received 98% positive ratings from the first reviews.
What game is this about? Slice & Dice is a new game on Steam, which was originally released as a mobile game in 2019 and will be released for PC on March 20, 2024.
In this tactical roguelite game, you face various battles with your heroes and use individual dice to determine victory or defeat.
You can see what to expect from the pixel graphics gameplay in a current trailer:
What can you expect in Slice & Dice? In itself, Slice & Dice is a quite simple dice game with tactical and turn-based combat. However, what sounds simple at first requires not only luck with the rolls but also tactical skill.
You always enter battle with five heroes, each bringing their own individual dice. With these, you face different groups of enemies, whose actions are also determined by dice rolls.
You can expect a total of 73 different enemies here, and the encounters are said to be randomly generated. To assemble your team, over 123 heroes will be available to you, which you can also upgrade. By winning, you will obtain items that can provide you with additional advantages.
In battle, you roll for each hero with their individual dice. After that, you need to carefully consider which attacks, actions, and blocks you will use against which enemy. It is important to win before you lose all your heroes.
If you win against a group of enemies, you will be healed, receive some bonuses, and can continue with the next fight. A total of 20 battles wait for you, after which you will have won.
The actually simple gameplay becomes particularly interesting because you need to deploy your various heroes with the different classes correctly and upgrade them strategically. There are items that can also enhance the heroes’ dice. This can not only produce better values but can also completely change the effects of a die.
What do players say? Currently, 376 players have rated Slice & Dice. That’s not many reviews yet. However, 98% of these reviews are positive. Thus, the game could be definitely worth a look.
