Slice, Dice and Rice is coming to Switch via the Nintendo eShop this summer in Japan, publisher Arc System Works announced.
The Dojo Games-developed fighting game first launched for PC via Steam in April 2017. A PlayStation 4 version was released in Japan in December 2017, followed by the west in February 2018.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
One Clean Hit Kills
Slice, Dice and Rice is an indie fighting game with no health bars. Inspired by Bushido Blade, it revolves around the idea of finding an opening in opponents defense and ending the round with a single, clean hit. Gone are the tedious hit points – each scratch impairs your movement, every wound might be your last.
Gameplay
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
Characters and Stages
You can play as one of eight characters, all with their own stories and unique fighting styles. Game’s cast offers many variations of gameplay, from a swift monk using only his fists in battle, to a muscular lady with a giant sword that compensates speed and mobility with endurance during her attacks.
Fights take place in alternative version of Japanese underworld and features 6 unique stages with hand-drawn textures.

Did the young man, who ended up becoming “a certain murderer” that day and who still kept resisting, gain anything from facing himself?
The player will re-experience the murderer’s life, solve several mysteries, and search for the truth through the eyes of the murderer.
