Slice, Dice & Rice is an engaging indie fighting game where traditional health bars are replaced with a unique, intensity-driven mechanic. Released on April 27, 2017, this game draws inspiration from Bushido Blade and focuses on the art of precision. Players must discover openings in their opponent's defense, as a single, powerful hit can determine the outcome of each round. Every scratch affects movement and every wound could potentially lead to defeat.

The developers aimed to make fighting games more accessible, featuring an intuitive set of basic abilities that eliminate the need for complex input memorization while keeping the gameplay rich and strategic. Players can feint attacks, parry hits, and engage in tactical clashes, mimicking the psychological struggle seen in real samurai duels.

Choose from eight diverse characters, each boasting unique stories and fighting styles, ranging from a quick monk to a robust warrior wielding a massive sword. The game is set in a stylized version of the Japanese underworld, with six distinct stages adorned with hand-drawn textures, creating an immersive combat environment that enhances the overall experience.
