What is Rack and Slay?
You play a billiard ball in a top-down roguelike dungeon crawler, aiming shots to knock monster balls into holes while navigating traps and randomly generated levels. Between levels, you draft stackable items; runs range from a full dungeon crawl to a single-level raid, with higher difficulty settings to tackle.
For you if...
- +you like short runs with a choice of lengths
- +you enjoy aiming billiards shots as tactical combat
- +you want difficulty settings to work through
Not for you if...
- −you want multiplayer rather than a solo game
- −you prefer fixed layouts over randomly generated levels
What players say
91% of 611 reviews are positive
Players praise the pool-like physics and finding useful item combinations. Some complain that random layouts and uneven item effects make runs feel too dependent on luck, while others find too little variety between runs.
