Ive been loving this game. Its a card game with lots of depth to the optimization and some RNG but its not overly punishing. If youre looking for a fun casual game try it out! Its less than $10 on sale right now.
Once you're finished up with it, I really recommend Monster Train. Slay the Spire is great, but I never finished it 100%. Monster Train I still go back to randomly even after putting 100+ hours into it. The game actively encourages you to try and break it, finding the right combination of cards and artifacts to truly be OP. I think it would even be impossible to beat most of the difficulties if you don't lean into that.
It's funny, I feel the same way just reversed. Really liked both, but StS is a forever game for me and I think it's the game I own on the most platforms (PC, switch, and android)
Bought both around the same time awhile back and absolutely love each one. Inscription feels more involved, but Slay the Spire has some really fun mods. I would also recommend both.
Works great on my Surface. Only thing is you have to keep the keyboard attached for it to work. But you can flip it back and still play with just the touchscreen.
I watch Baalalord stream it on twitch, and that has massively helped my game play. I'm now on ascension lvl 10 on ironclad, and 6 on the other characters. I used to never be able to beat a run.
Bought it a long time ago, beat it once (as in l reached one of the final bosses and defeated him), then totally forgot about it. Might replay it now that you've reminded me of it. Thanks!
Slay the Spire is awesome, but I have really struggled with the mobile port of the game. Do you play it on mobile? What do you play it on? I've played it on the Switch and the game was great, but when I tried playing it on my android I could barely control the cards.
I'm over 50 years old and have been playing video games since before the atari 2600 and Slay the Spire is in my top 5 games of all time, but honestly probably top 3.
If any of Rouge like, deck building, dungeon crawler do anything for you I highly recommend you pick it up.
I love slay the spire!
Have recently been looking for games with a similar experience/core gameplay and came across Vault of the Void. I can really recommend that game of anyone is looking for something kind of similar to Slay the Spire. Although I'd say it's a bit more relaxed and definitely more colourful.
Monster Train is also a really, really enjoyable deck-building rogue-like. Not sure if I like it more than StS, but it's awfully close. I ended up getting it for iPad and it's great to just pop out and play whenever.
I'm really enjoying Wildfrost. Sort if similar to monster train. It's cute and insanely hard and punishing. Unfortunately it's only for pc and switch currently.
