Catadel: Slot Defense

Turn damage into gold. Turn gold into survival.

Catadel: Slot Defense is a medieval slot-defense roguelite where you pull the lever, send an army of cats charging at the enemy, and pay your taxes. Match unit symbols, stack formations and let the cascades run to build up damage. That damage becomes Gold, making powerful combinations both your weapon and your income.

Invest now or save for tax day?

Each week brings two enemies, a boss, and then the royal tax. Gold pays for your bets, for food at the market and for restocking the shop, and for the tax: in full, on the day it is due. Defeating enemies is only part of survival. Come up short and the run ends, however well you fought. Every Gold piece you stake is a choice between security now and the chance to earn more later.

Limited spins. Bigger possibilities.

Every battle gives you only so many spins. Make the most of formations and cascading matches to push your damage and earnings higher, and win with spins to spare to earn extra Crowns. Royal Decrees, relics and supplies change what each spin can deliver.

Push your luck on the wheel

Your attack is ready. Strike now and keep it, or call ×2, ×5 or ×10 and spin the multiplier wheel. Land on your call and the attack is multiplied. Miss, and that attack is lost.

Bet on what remains

Before a spin, open the bet slip and call up to ten tiles, predicting for each one which unit will be left on it once every cascade has settled. Every call has its own odds, and the slip multiplies them together, up to ×1,000. Your Gold stake is deducted when you confirm and, once you spin, is not returned. If every call is right, your stake times the combined odds is added as bonus attack. Miss even one, and this spin’s attack and combat Gold are 0. The safest choice is not always the most profitable one.

Bets use only Gold earned in battle. No real money is ever involved.

Shape your strategy with decrees and treasures

Choose Royal Decrees and spend your Crowns in the market on relics, one-use supplies and upgrades. Increase the appearance rate of particular unit types, strengthen formation multipliers, or boost your cascades. Discover combinations that turn stronger attacks into greater income.

Even defenders need a break

Spinning nonstop can get a little dull, can’t it? Buy bread, sausage and butter at the market, slice and fry them in your carriage kitchen, and take a bite. Eating gives no combat bonus; it is simply a good lunch. Then pour a beer and take a moment to breathe. Of course, having one while you spin works too!
