Here’s a game that caught my eye today that is also being released today. It’s Slice, Dice, & Rice – published by Arc System Works Co., Ltd. and developed by Dojo Games. What’s interesting about this fighting game is that there are no health bars. Instead, wins are determined by a single fatal blow.

Gone are the tedious hit points – each scratch impairs your movement, every wound might be your last. When the next attack might be the one that does you in, the tension never stops! Slice, Dice & Rice is perfect for the discerning fighting game fan who is looking for something a little different.

Features

• EASY TO PLAY, HARD TO MASTER
  An intuitive set of basic abilities removes the need for memorizing inputs and move-lists, while retaining strategic complexity.
• STYLIZED GRAPHICS
  Winning never looked so good! Slick, comic book like graphics make the action pop.

  Battle across an alternative version of the Japanese underground.
• EIGHT DISTINCT FIGHTERS
  Choose one of 8 characters, all with their own stories and unique fighting styles.

Again, Slice, Dice, & Rice is out today on PlayStation 4.
