Slice with your sharp dice the enemies.
RPG in which you advance the dice of the character classes.
Probably pretty obscure indie game for most, so the first hint contains two of the words that make up the title separated by an 'and'.

Based on the last clue, I'd guess it's called Slice and Dice?

Indeed it is.

- If you go against one of the main conventions of the game in the first level, you’ll be rewarded.
- Your foe is now your friend… or is he?
- Your sister certainly doesn’t believe him

39
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.
- There are four unlockable modes, each of which give your character a boost on one specific attribute at the expense of others - magic, strength, subweapons, and luck.
- In some regions, this game shared the same name as the very first game in this series (other regions added a subtitle). Funnily enough, that first game was later released on the same system, as one of a number of classic games that were reissued.

38
- Introduces a few new enemies to the series, but only one new weapon. And even then, it’s more an upgrade to an existing weapon, effectively doubling its power.
- One of these new enemies is a vile creature that can resurrect fallen foes.

37
- What once got you access to the garden, now allows you to collect a powerful weapon.

#38: Doom II. Didn't get it with the super shotgun, but the Arch-Vile is a giveaway.
