Our take on Slice, Dice & Rice
Instead of the health-bar attrition common in fighting games, rounds center on finding an opening for a potentially decisive hit. Wounds also affect movement, making the state of a fighter part of the exchange rather than simply a measure of remaining health.
What is Slice, Dice & Rice?
Slice, Dice & Rice is a fighting game built around rounds that can end with one clean hit rather than a health bar.
Wounds affect movement, so each exchange can change how a fighter moves. Basic abilities avoid the need to memorize input sequences and move lists, while attacks can be canceled to create feints, parried, dodged, or met with clashing moves. These mechanics make fights revolve around reading an opponent and finding an opening. The game includes 8 playable characters, each with a story and distinct fighting style, and 6 stages set in an alternate Japanese underworld. Stage textures are hand-drawn.
