After slaying some spire, the taverns of Slash Roll are the ideal place to rest and play this dice pouch-building rogue-like with original mechanics.

Features

  • Pouch-building - Unlock and collect unique dice to build powerful combos suiting each play-style
  • Master the odds - Choose wisely your moves for optimal effects or trick your dice to have them roll your lucky number
  • Generated world - Never go twice through the same experience, adventuring with a different face in a new tavern at every game

A game with dice in a pouch

In Slash Roll, you do not play with a deck of cards, but with a pouch of dice. Every dice (with 6 faces or not) with unique effects and serving different purposes can help or curse you in your quest. If you are familiar with the rogue-like deck-building genre, you will recognize some of its codes, while discovering new mechanics inherent to the random property of the dice. You might be of the safe type, avoid to take risk and focusing on defence, the optimistic type, hoping for the best while building strong combos, or the calculating type, evaluating precisely the statistical value of each move.

A strange world

May you be the mighty Hero spending their well deserved leisure time, a rich traveller amazed by the wonders of the world or a drunkard spending their last penny in the worst ale of the county, you will enter, with a new face every time, a procedurally generated tavern where you will meet weird characters of various kinds before reaching the counter to address the tavern-keeper.

Hi! I have been playing Slash Roll Dice for a little bit less than a year now, and I wanted to tell you how great it is. You made a very good game, thank you :)

:-)

I'm having trouble with getting this to run in a way that's enjoyable to play on my Gentoo Linux machine.  It seems that even when I'm not high load, it's just not at all smooth.  

The last time I tried playing, it actually crashed.  It seems like it could be a great game if it wasn't frustrating to play.  

There might be some setting thing that I haven't considered that might make it more playable.  

Hmm, this was tested on Ubuntu only.

I guess you tried to reduce the quality settings to the minimum.
Also, not setting the rolling speed to high can help a bit. Could you tell me what GPU you use ?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti using nouveau drivers.  Though I might just give up on getting them to work well.  In some cases they work far better than the NVIDIA drivers.  

The 1050 should be working fine, Potential even in 4K if nothing else is running (an with a single screen config). I didn't test it with the nouveau drivers though, but with one of the latest nvidia drivers : 435.

The singular of "dice" is "die".

Hmm, oh yes thanks, I just saw it in one of the screenshots. This was already fixed in-game, but I might as well fix it in the screenshot :-).
