Slice Dice & Rice is an indie fighting game with no health bars. Inspired by Bushido Blade, it revolves around the idea of finding an opening in opponents defense and ending the round with a single, clean hit.
It is kind of okay. I had zero technical issues. It runs well on a potato. What you should consider is that you can beat the game in 80 minutes on Easy (the story is forgettable). Not much content to it. Might be okay on a deep sale.

This game is phenomenal for the most part and I do reccomend it
I adore difficult games, Bloodborne, Elden ring, Sekiro, The dark souls series, And to a big extent I'm a fan of this. The combat is genuinly engaging and super rewarding. The art style and backgrounds blend exceptionally well and forcing engagment for the player but making one shot kills, clashes, parries, and dodging works exceptionally well. The only...
I love this games combat and mechanics but i cant reccomend it for the simple fact that it feels unfinished, this game often crashes and sometimes dosent work all together, I have heard that there are ways to fix these issues but in my opinon any game that needs me to go out of my way to make playable isnt worth a recommendation. If these issues are fixed in the future i would gladly recommend this game to anyone but...

Caught me by suprise.
Sollid game, a hidden gem.
One clean hit kills. And you will be sitting on the edge of your seat to dash, jump and kill.
it feels like a reward when you land a clean hit, The Ai is atually pretty smart and will respond great to your moves.
The characters are well balanced, there are lots of stages to choose from.
There is a story mode, VS mode and Dojo.
Really well made and well worth the price,...

Disclaimer: This game has no online support so keep that in mind when you look at its mixed review rating
Slice, Dice & Rice is 1on1 2D Fighting in it's purest form.
On the surface, the one hit kill mechanic may seem arbitrary and make some characters feel unbalanced compared to others, but if you take the time to learn
a) the different functions of your 3 attack options (vertical, horizontal and heavy)
b) the...

Simply put:
Pros:
- Music
- Atmosphere
- Graphics
- Gameplay gimmick (one clean hit kills) - which makes it really fun for footsies, baits, faints and so on.
Cons:
- Hitboxes
- Input handling
- No save during storyline.
- Absolutely no tutorial.
- Unagi system.
- Technical issues.
Pros are pretty self-explanatory. So I'll focus why I cannot recommend this game. Slow motion which should "warn" about deadly hit is...

A good game for its price of INR 36/-, one or two sword hits kill. Interesting roster. A fighting game fan and friend introduced this to me...

This game, is a gem in the way it's designed. It has got a very nice battle system with some intricacies to it. The parry-cancelling that allows you to bait attacks for example, or combo two attacks. Jumping isn't broken, which makes it very tense throughout each round, one mess-up can mean everything.
A MAJOR buzzkill for this game is that there isn't any online for the multiplayer. I was hyped for this game when I...

Decent indie fighter with a decent indie roster in a decent indie package.
If you're looking for a game that's going to give you 40 hours plus of content, better look elsewhere.
However if you're fine with having a 'short but sweet' experience in a fighter that shakes up the fighting game formula with deadly one-shots then SDR can deliver.
If buying for multiplayer, don't. This is a single player game.
The game...
