What awaits you in Slice & Dice? In itself, Slice & Dice is a pretty simple dice game with tactical and turn-based combat. What sounds simple at first, however, requires not only luck in your throws, but also tactical skills.

You always go into battle with five heroes. Each hero brings their own individual dice. With these you face different groups of opponents, whose actions are determined by dice.

You are promised a total of 73 different opponents here. The encounters should be randomly generated. To put together your team, you will have over 123 heroes at your disposal, which you can also upgrade. A win will give you items that can also give you an advantage.

During combat, you roll individual dice for each hero. Then you have to use these results to think carefully about which attacks, actions and blocks you use to counteract which opponent. The important thing here is to win before you have lost all of your heroes.

If you win against a group of enemies, you will be healed, receive a few bonuses and can move on to the next fight. A total of 20 fights await you, after which you will then win.

The actually simple gameplay is particularly interesting because you have to use your different heroes with the different classes correctly and upgrade them in a targeted manner. Because there are items that can also upgrade the heroes’ dice. Not only can better values ​​be created, but the effects of a die can be completely changed.

What do the players say? Currently 376 players have rated Slice & Dice. That’s not a lot of reviews in itself. However, the game received 98% positive reviews. This means the game could definitely be worth a look.
