Future Friends Games and indie developer Friedemann have today (October 25, 2025) released their new title “SLOTS & DAGGERS” for PC and Mac. The standard price is 920 yen (tax included), but it’s currently available at a 30% discount during the launch sale—644 yen (tax included).
This game is marketed as a compact and retro-fantasy “roguelite slot battle game” where combat takes place exclusively on the slot machine. The highlight lies in how the icons displayed on the reels after stopping determine your actions—your success hinges on sharp observation to spot enemy weaknesses, quick reflexes to land desired icons precisely, and just a touch of luck.
Additionally, you can use gold obtained from defeating enemies to upgrade slot icons or add new ones with special effects. However, if you lose once, your customized machine resets back to default and you must start over. But when you defeat a powerful enemy and earn chips, you’ll unlock cheat-like “Modifiers” that permanently boost base stats—allowing you to take on even greater challenges.
Spin the slot and feel the heat of adventure.
The roguelite slot game SLOTS & DAGGERS launches today!
Surrounded by retro vibes and jangling sounds, let’s spin!
On October 25, 2025, indie developer Friedemann and publisher Future Friends Games are releasing the roguelite slot battle game SLOTS & DAGGERS. Created by the team behind hit titles such as SUMMERHOUSE and ISLANDERS, along with the developers of CloverPit, this game is available at a standard price of 920 yen, but during its launch sale it’s offered at an affordable 644 yen—30% off.
SLOTS & DAGGERS is a compact, retro-fantasy roguelite slot battle game where combat unfolds entirely on the slot machine. Fight through worlds overrun by goblins, undead, gunslingers, and more. Use rewards to upgrade your slot machines and gear, and survive as long as possible. Once you’re in battle, all you have to rely on are reflexes and observation—essentially, button-mashing skill and a gambler’s instinct.
The demo version has already gathered over 500 reviews with an impressive 92% positive rating, and received favorable reactions from influencers. Since its release, the game has seen thousands of wishlist additions daily, reflecting significant interest ahead of launch.

■ Battles Decided by the Slot Reels
From attacks and potions to spells—your actions are determined by which icon appears on the reels when you stop the spin. The key to defeating unique enemies lies in sharp observation to identify their weaknesses, precise timing to land favorable icons, and a bit of luck.
Can you overcome legendary foes like hammer goblins or red desert gunslingers?
■ Master and Upgrade Your Slot Machine
To become a true slot master, you must fully understand your machine’s mechanics. Defeating enemies earns you gold, which lets you enhance existing icons or add new ones with special effects.
Only when you truly know both the enemy and the machine can precise button-mashing prove effective. The demo version offers players a taste of this unique experience—building an original slot machine through adventure.
■ Defeat Mighty Enemies for Permanent Power-Ups
Losing once resets your customized slot machine to its original state, forcing you to start from scratch each time. But if you defeat strong enemies and earn chips, you can use cheat-like “Modifiers” to permanently boost base stats—enabling you to face even tougher foes.
The more enemies you defeat, the more chips you collect. Push yourself to the limit and maximize your earnings! That said, luck still plays a crucial role in the final moments.
