A strange little blend of slot machine & fantasy RPG

Coins scattered across the Slots & Daggers pub table — THE PUB TABLE. WHERE RUNS ARE WON AND LOST.

After SUMMERHOUSE, solo developer Friedemann Allmenröder wanted something faster, stranger and full of goblins.

SLOTS & DAGGERS turns weapons, shields and magic into symbols on a creaky machine in a fantasy pub. Every spin decides what you swing, block or cast.

Win battles, earn coins and rebuild your loadout on the fly. Chips unlock extra wheels, more power and deeper runs.

02 / HOW IT PLAYS

Loadout. Spin. Loot. Repeat.

CHOOSE A LOADOUT

Weapons, shields and magic become symbols on your reels. Build the machine you want to fight with.

SPIN INTO BATTLE

Each spin rolls a random selection of your gear against the enemy. Time your stops, chain your hits, survive their turn.

LOOT & ADAPT

Coins buy equipment mid-run. Chips unlock extra wheels and raw power. Go deeper every run.

A weird physical machine in a dark pub corner

04 / THE BADDIES

Strange little guys

Sixteen unofficial nicknames for Friedemann's monochrome creatures, each colored only by the light around them.

05 / MODIFIERS

Socket chips. Bend the odds.

Conquered zones pay out Chips. Socket them into the circuit board, reshape the machine and push further.

ATKRoute more power into physical attacks.
REELAdd another wheel to the machine.
COINRewire the payout for stronger runs.

06 / SOUND DESIGN & MUSIC

Everything must sound tactile

Coins hit the table. Wheels clank to a halt. Attacks land with weight. The soundtrack mixes old-school hip-hop drums, arcade synths and slightly out-of-tune drawbar organs, all recorded in Logic Pro.

Try the house synthesizer. No coins required:
