Strong Monkey Games is distributing a playable demo of DEAD SPIN on Steam, with no release date set. The game is scheduled for release on PC.
Strong Monkey Games announced DEAD SPIN on July 9, a deck-building roguelike set in a ruined casino. Players duel opponents using slot machines, and the loser receives an electric shock. Between rounds, players purchase chips and symbols to customize their slot contents. The developer describes the game as Inscryption and Balatro combined, with amplified eeriness. A playtest was open on Steam until July 19, and the game is scheduled for release on PC.
On September 14, the studio began distributing a demo of DEAD SPIN on Steam. The demo puts the slot machine, chip, coin, and trinket synergies in front of players. The single-player campaign has 8 enemies with their own decks and tricks. PvP and an endless mode are supported. Japanese display is supported.
Across both stories, the scope of the slot system is detailed: more than 130 symbol types, past 150 chips, and past 20 trinkets. The demo and the earlier playtest both used Steam as the distribution channel. No release date is set.
