I can’t believe I slept on this title for so long given how it has a free demo. As a Slay the Spire fan who has also played Monster Train, Indies’ Lies, Pirates Outlaws, Dawncaster, and a bit of Dicey Dungeons, I was utterly and immediately gripped. It is so well-done with a snappy, responsive UI and turn action, and it’s just as excellent on mobile as it is on PC.
I feel it solves UI issues in, and has way more diversity relative to, other dice-builders like Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles (which was way too tedious in its die face-checking) and Circadian Dice (whose UI just seemed to be too small and similarly a little harder to work with). S&D’s numerous hero classes and just how many branches they can randomly take in leveling-up between fights are staggering. It’s also extremely efficiently programmed, using very few CPU resources (which you’d think should be standard for these kinds of games, but isn’t necessarily).
Give the demo a shot! It’s only content-limited, not time-limited.
Okay, I’m back to tell you that this at normal price is greater than any Steam Spring Sale discount. I’ve been having such a blast with the full version and negative regrets:
Update: @[email protected], I finally bought Slice & Dice upon the Play Store giving me a $2 discount, and man, I’m loving it; there’s a mode that randomly generates heroes!!
Geez, I delayed tonight’s shower by literally crouching on the bathroom floor for, like, almost 3 hours playing through a couple of modes in the full game (beat Raid on Hard on my first time and then continued Random); I finally caved and bought this on the Play Store instead of anything in Steam’s spring sale, ironically, and have no regrets lol. The only other game that gripped me this much in the past 12 years was FTL: Faster Than Light. I gotta pull myself away from this thing, lol!
Oh, what, Blursed is a difficulty level? I didn’t realize you were citing something specifically from the game, haha. I’ve still just been playing the demo so far (there’s already so much in it), so maybe it lacks that!
It’s a good game but I didn’t feel compelled to play more than a few hours. I’m more of a Dicey Dungeons guy, especially since it has a fantastic mobile port.

Slay & Dice is keeping my sanity after a year in the hospital with a family member. Great mobile game.
Sorry to read about your family member’s situation!
I have spent hours and hours on the demo alone. I was obsessed. I’m going to buy the full game eventually. It’s definitely a must have.

itch.io is DRM-free and pays developers most directly, as far as I know.
It’s double the price here because you get both PC and mobile copies, DRM-free: https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice

This is also a really good game on phone. Easy to pick up, very good UI for mobile, and you can pause at any time.
This one and Balatro have consumed many hours of my phone’s charge
Ditto.
@rockerface @p03locke BALATRO MENTIONED, MILLIONS MUST ANTE

I played hundreds of hours of blursed runs on my phone. My longest is 135 fights :3
Dang! On Hard?
Blursed doesn’t have difficulty choices iirc. It starts easy with some blessings, and becomes increasingly impossible with a mountain of curses.
I haven’t played since september though, should probably go checkout new patch!

Ya, its a mode! There’s like 25 of those. This game has a lot of content if you love the format.
Geez, this is the greatest dice-building game since… hmm, what was the first one?
