20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Slice & Dice is a clever and remarkably addictive roguelike that distills party-based RPG combat into a minimalist, dice-driven format without sacrificing depth or strategic nuance.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Presentation-wise, Slice & Dice uses a clean pixel art style with simple animations and a functional interface that keeps the focus on gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Perfect art and interface, sounds are whompy and clangy and fzzzt'y (some of the effects sound like the dev Tann recorded himself making them?), soundtrack is EPIC ("Assassin's Dirge" by Ziggurath is legendary), mechanics are astounding and the item interactions and possibilities seem unlimited.
