Arc System Works bringing Slice, Dice and Rice to Switch
Posted on August 1, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Last April, Arc System Works initially released Slice, Dice and Rice on Steam. That same game is now coming to Switch, the company announced today.
Developed by PlayWay, Slice, Dice and Rice is a fighting title without health bars. We have more information about the title below.
One Clean Hit Kills
Slice, Dice and 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. Gone are the tedious hit points – each scratch impairs your movement, every wound might be your last.
Gameplay
Our goal was to make fighting games accessible to anyone. An intuitive set of basic abilities allowed us to remove the need for memorizing inputs and move-lists, while retaining the complexity. Moves can be canceled to feint an attack, hits can be parried or dodged, and they can clash with one another. This creates a mind-game heavy gameplay, one that mimics real samurai showdowns
Characters and Stages
You can play as one of eight characters, all with their own stories and unique fighting styles. Game’s cast offers many variations of gameplay, from a swift monk using only his fists in battle, to a muscular lady with a giant sword that compensates speed and mobility with endurance during her attacks.
Fights take place in alternative version of Japanese underworld and features 6 unique stages with hand-drawn textures.
Slice, Dice and Rice will launch this summer on Switch in Japan.
