Slay The Spire

Nefaro · November 15, 2017, 02:20:00 PM

Deck-building roguelike just released in Early Access on Steam.

That's my kinda bag, baby. Very tabletop-ish + rogue-ish.

May wait a bit while it's still in EA. Mebbe. Looks pretty much finished, judging by a vid of the PC play.

They're just not ASCII enough ;) >:D

Sooooo...

Is it stable?

Fun, stable, a nice little game with some good potential. Really enjoying it when I get a bit of time to play.

I actually just beat this. It certainly took enough tries but I think it was worth it.

Got this on the most recent Humble Monthly deal. Great game. Not sure if they toned down the difficulty or I got really lucky but I beat it on my second run through. Great game so far, I've put about 3 hours into 2 runs. Just the right balance of opportunity vs difficulty vs "one more turn" feeling

I was sorely tempted to get it on sale a week or two back, but I still haven't finished giving Monster Slayers a full run for the money. It's got a very similar premise, and I LOVE that game. Great beer & pretzels mechanics, but with some deep strategy as you develop your "campaign buffs" after every successful mission.

not sure you can say you beat the game unless you went through all 20 ascension levels which means every time you "beat" the spire then you start over and certain modifiers get added to the spire like more elite enemies, enemies with better skills, etc... you can also do the daily challenges and do custom spire runs where you set your own parameters. Also have 3 different characters to do this with so lots of playtime to be had. steam says i have 63 hours in the game but i havent played it in about a year. i would recommend. lots of workshop stuff as well but havent tried any of it.

I only bought last week, but already enjoying it, all about the right deck :)

True. Meant I beat a run.

Just meant from what I was reading there were players that were over 10 runs in and hadn't done it yet.
