The game is hard, a novice user will fail many times (see northernlion players Slay the spire, ha) before seeing the boss once and even if you are good, no run is 100% safe.Įvery successful run increases the difficulty of the next run (if you want it to).Īs with everything, its Early Access, feel free to set it as a wanted game, wait for a big sale and grab it, its already worth its money.Relics are permanent items that provide a passive bonus for the rest of the run. Well every run is very different, some you can stumble through if you are good at deck building and mess up the gameplay, but in later accensions it just gets really unforgiving and you have to be pretty good in everything. Is there a difficulty curve? It looks like it has a low skill-ceiling? I don't regret the purchase, the mechanics and cards/relics/enemies are obviously well thought out and I've been having a blast streaming it. I decided to give it a chance after weeks of it being in the best sellers, most played, and most streamed games, it had to be doing something right. I overlooked this one for a long time since I didn't enjoy most card games. Right now some artifacts are just broken af, others near worthless - but I like that there are bosses that counter specific approches a little (time boss for example).
I just can't get to the 11th ascend, but I'm working on it.
I totally agree, silent has a lot of exploitable mechanics, while our bruiser-type just needs a bit more work, but is more newb friendly. It would be very intresting if one could have a game vs another player that beat the boss as a last huraah (spoiler: if you go first, you win). I also enjoy this greatly, being a big fan of all card games (magic mostly, but only in person), this does singleplayer card games very right. For whatever reason seeing them leaves me with no expectation of a heat axe, only a continued appreciation of the monoeye.
Every time I see them is a nudge to the hind brain I should be worrying about running into a minga melon. Those friggin' degenerate monkey bird byrds. Most memorable fight of it was a life link trio critter fight, where I unintentionally stalled for a bit and then hit them with like a 20+ strength boosted reaping, wiping the entire enemy for more damage than their max health. I nabbed up every curse I could find, gladly had an immolate or two in my deck, and lolorolled over the last act~ Managed to roll over multiple curse related artifacts and a good bit of strength buffing cards, the last hit I made was a base strike hitting in the 50s, 120+ hp despite not even seeing feed, so on, so forth. Been winning with others, but the first run was hilariously dominating and a victory right out the gate. Slay the Spire - Deck-building to Death or GloryĪmusingly enough, I think my most successful run so far has been my first.
