Anvil Survivors

The slot machine is your weapon

Slots & Skulls is a turn-based roguelike where your weapon is a slot machine. Load its reels with blades, spells, poisons and gold engines, stop the spin, and whatever lands is what you swing. Match every reel and the whole spin goes critical.

Fight

Descend through 10 handcrafted levels against 30+ hand-animated enemies: armored skeletons that raise their shields against your steel, archers that stun your next spin, ice mages that freeze a reel solid, witches whose fire drains your health in real time. Duo fights, deliberate difficulty walls that send you back to the forge, and a final boss who has been robbing you the whole way down.

Loot

Earn more skulls, loot more symbols during fights. You can buy unlock more modifiers to change gameplay or use skulls to upgrade weapons on anvil.

Forge

Every kill drops SKULLS, and you keep them even in death. Spend them at the Anvil to hammer your symbols from +0 toward +10. But the Anvil forgives nothing: a failed strike DESTROYS the symbol forever. Smelt your spares for skulls, read the odds, and decide exactly how much you are willing to lose.

Developed and playtested on Steam Deck from day one (unofficial, pending Valve's review).
