About This Game

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!

Recruit new party members by collecting recruit tickets throughout your adventure

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.

Slot Machines determine your abilities each turn

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.



Traverse the map, complete bonus objectives, and attempt to defeat The "Great Evil"

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.

Great premise, but doesn't really come together. Some points: 1. Enemy turns take a very very long time and there is no "skip slot animation" option or anything like that. There is a LOT of time I spent sitting there watching the screen just thinking: "When is it going to be MY turn already?" 2. The tactics are muddy at best. Every enemy has an attack range of 2-3 and they can attack through your characters so positioning is almost meaningless. Enemies can even just jump over your units. Combine this with #3: 3. Lines of sight are really limiting. I can't attack someone in the square right around the corner? Meanwhile most boss attacks just go right over the walls, again making positioning meaningless. 4. I want someone who worked on this game to look me in the eye and tell me that enemy decisions are indeed random. Bosses always seem to roll reinforcements when they need them, and never do when they don't. Enemies basically just seem to do the optimal thing every round - which means ...

Im one of those refund fanatics...if a game sucks for just a little bit ..its out of there.. Well im glad to say this game is one of those diamonds in the roughs. Its hard but not so hard you refund. Its fun but not a short-lived fun...i mean the fum factor lasts. Theres somethings to this game thas more of a personal pet pevee but its mainly the lack pf explanation of how things work like certain glass and what not. I saw this game and overlooked it quite a lot actually but one day saw some articles saying how fun and enjoying it was. It is hard at first the initial learning curve and theres range mechanics involved but thats not to bad for me. Anyways i recommend this game to family and friends...as always if you unsure set them refund timers under the 2 hour mark. Great Game DEVS.

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.

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.

Dungeon Reel Tactics - Mechanically, we got classic initiative rolls with a truly in depth strategy game and a fast ramp of difficulty throughout the campaign, allowing you to accrue characters/relics/level ups/boss keys/ +r e a c h items Characters always feel unique with the decent pool size, making recruiting characters feel close to STS/deck building, having its own sets of challenges since card advantage or energy aren't really used(except for ONE specific buff). Rolling for cards is honestly really fun and jackpots can really make a character shine for the turn. Outside rooms are basic but overall perfect because they are simple decisions that could potentially kill you later. HP preservation is still very important as ever, especially with a 5:1 turn ratio in later stages of the game. I love the visuals/UI but sometimes its a little buggy. Not too bad though. Probably one of those 15$ games that I wish could be on a gameboy cartridge. Good job Grandma your basement makes g...

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 cha...

This game is crazy fun, I've only played it a little so far, but already I'm aware that time just flies by when I'm playing. There's so many archtypes and the 'puppet show' narratives are funny af. Well balanced combat and intuitive interface I give this game 2 thumbs up. I would def. recommend this as a great little tactics game with some rogue like aspects.
