Get ready to gamble your digital life away for ultimate glory. Solo developer Friedemann and publisher Future Friends Games have officially brought the addictive, critically acclaimed PC hit Slots & Daggers to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (via Xbox Play Anywhere), and Nintendo Switch!
After bursting onto Steam last autumn and racking up nearly 300,000 copies sold alongside an incredible 94% positive rating, this delightfully bizarre mashup is ready to take over your living room.
What is Slots & Daggers?
Imagine walking into a moody fantasy tavern, pulling up a stool, and finding a diegetic, tabletop slot machine that holds the fate of an entire fantasy world. That is the core vibe of Slots & Daggers.
Instead of traditional turn-based combat or deckbuilding, your tactical choices are entirely decided by a spin of the reels. You load up your machine with equipment symbols—like swords, shields, spells, and potions—and pull the lever to face off against an array of weird, hand-drawn monsters.
The goal? Build powerful symbol combinations, play quick reflex-based minigames to score critical hits, and take down the minions of the villainous Lord Slothor.
The game is a brilliant concoction of things you didn’t know belonged together:
- Radical RNG Strategy: A unique twist on the Balatro and Slay the Spire wave, blending roguelike progression with high-stakes arcade luck.
- Immaculate Aesthetic: Stylised retro visuals populated by crude, hilarious drawings of “strange little guys.”
- Crunchy Beats: An atmospheric soundtrack driving the action with old-school, crunchy hip-hop drum machines.
- Pure Arcade Satisfaction: The wonderful auditory bliss of a machine that constantly goes “PLING PLING PLING” as shiny coins spill out.
“I wanted to make something radically different [after SUMMERHOUSE]. Still small, but faster, with numbers, fights and goblins!… It’s meant to be short and sweet and doesn’t have the amount of content as games built by bigger teams over years, but I think it’s a fair deal!” — Friedemann, Developer
A Flawless Indie Double Feature
If you love supporting solo creators, there’s even more reason to celebrate. Friedemann didn’t just drop one game on consoles—he dropped two.
Launching right alongside Slots & Daggers is his breakout hit SUMMERHOUSE, a beautifully relaxing, nostalgic building sandbox that has sold over 400,000 copies on PC. Together, they represent two completely opposite sides of the indie gaming spectrum, making them the ultimate weekend double feature.
| Pure creative sandbox with no timers, rules, or loss conditions | The Vibe | Playstyle |
| Slots & Daggers | High energy, fast-paced tactical luck | Short 4-to-8-hour campaign + endless “Egg Arena” high-score mode |
| SUMMERHOUSE | Ultra-cozy, stress-free relaxation | Pure creative sandbox with no timers, rules, or lose conditions |
Grab It Now
Whether you want to chill out and build a pixel-art neighbourhood or risk it all against a goblin horde on a slot machine, Friedemann has you completely covered.
Slots & Daggers is live right now across the PlayStation Store, Xbox Marketplace, and the Nintendo eShop. (Note to players in Japan: the Switch version will unlock just a few days later on May 21st). Pull the lever and see if luck is on your side!
