Battle Slots announced

For those of you who thought that Puzzle Quest, a roleplaying game using Bejeweled as its combat mechanic, was too middle-of-the-road, Battle Slots has been announced by publisher Phantom EFX, in which you fight monsters and villains with … a slot machine.

Battle Slots is a quest-based slot game that will take players on a journey of exploration, allowing them to choose their own path in order to defeat the evil that has been plaguing the land. Equipped with a magical slot machine, it is your task to collect new and more powerful Slot Symbols, Attacks, Spells, and Runes as you level up and master the device to complete your journey and become the ultimate hero!

In case you thought April Fool’s Day came too early, no, it’s real. Check out the trailer below, and visit the official site here.
