About Dungeon Reels Tactics
Dungeon Reels Tactics is a party-based, roguelike, with slot machines and puppet shows! Collect new party members with their own pre-built slot machine reels and embark on an adventure to ATTEMPT to defeat The "Great Evil".... Traverse a map filled with enemy encounters, fate cards to resolve, treacherous bosses, and more!
Each run of Dungeon Reels Tactics will include a pool of 12 different characters you can recruit throughout the adventure. To gain new recruits you will need to collect soul shards from fallen foes, resolve fate cards, or purchase recruit tickets in the shop. If a party member falls in battle they will die and you will need to recruit a party member for the adventure.
Each party member has their own unique slot machine. Each turn the slot machine will give you 3 random abilities from your reel. Make the best decision each turn to dominate the battlefield. Get 3 of a kind to trigger your party members unique jackpot ability.
Each run will begin with a randomly generated Map. The goal is to defeat each of the 3 bosses. Each time you defeat a boss you will be returned to the start of the map and some of your old path will be removed. After defeating the 3 bosses on the map, if you have completed at least 3 of the bonus objectives you will unlock The "Great Evil" fight at the end.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this roguelike for its unique slot machine mechanic, well-balanced character abilities and synergies, and engaging gameplay that doesn't feel overly dependent on RNG despite its gambling theme. The main complaints center on the UI being clunky and non-intuitive on PC, lack of tactical depth due to positioning being irrelevant, and some tedious inventory management systems that need better explanation and streamlining.
This game is exactly the type of game I was looking for. I'm a big fan of roguelikes and this one is one of the best I've played. It explores a really unique mechanic that I haven't seen before and it uses the mechanic really well. All of the characters abilities and well thought out and balanced to synergize with the upgrades and equipment you can give them. The only issues I've really found with the game are just minor things with the UI and such. Good game.2 found this helpful
Big fan of this game and I really wanna see more!!!! Please devs!1 found this helpful
I really want to like this game, but the "tactics" aren't there. Positioning means nothing since all enemies can attack from 2-3 units away. No body blocking is just wrong as well. Also, the UI is not PC friendly. I can't seem to ever get the scratch tickets to scratch properly. Items have to be drag-n-drop. it says you can swap items between characters, but doesn't tell you that you can only do it when you receive a new item. Making swapping gear tedious. I also wish that you could change the camera view to more isometric or even top down since there are no 3D sprites. What they've got here is a lot of fun and would be more-so if it were polished up a bit more. It seems pretty new and there's no info on the net to make a good judgement on purchasing it. I'm glad I got it on deep sale. It gave me some fun for a few days. I'll check back in once they've got a few updates under their belt and adjust my review if it gets better.1 found this helpful
Great game. (I like gambling)
A fun game to play when you are bored
Luck Be A Landlord sold me the slot machine, but ultimately left me wanting a bit more meat on the gameplay bone. Dungeon Reels Tactics delivers just that by putting the slot machine in a tactical combat roguelike. [b]Positive:[/b] [list] [*]I'm not nearly as much at the mercy of RNG as expected. Everything has [i]some[/i] gambling aspect, from party composition to rewards, but never so much that I think my choices don't matter. The worst reward roll is still worth something; the game could give you 3 duds, but you always get at least 1 gold. Recruitment gives you a choice of 3 random classes - maybe not the ones you were hoping for, but the abilities are fairly well balanced, so no party combo is a complete disaster. The global Jackpot meter gives you the option to save up the super ability for another character/turn instead of triggering automatically at 100 %. (Most super abilities involve 'do X to [i]random[/i] targets', so there's still an element of luck with them.) [*]Many character classes with a good pool of abilities. Some are straightforward with attacks and shields, others have more unique abilities like teleporting or manipulating reels/symbols. Each also has a Jackp…
