What Slice, Dice & Rice is

Slice, Dice & Rice is a fighting game developed by Dojo Games and released in 2017. It was published by Arc System Works. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Our goal was to make fighting games accessible to anyone. An intuitive set of basic abilities allowed us to remove the need for memorizing inputs and move-lists, while retaining the complexity. Moves can be canceled to feint an attack, hits can be parried or dodged, and they can clash with one another. This creates a mind-game heavy gameplay, one that mimics real samurai showdowns
