Slay the Spire is one of the best games this year. As someone who was only bought two early access games ever, this is totally worth it.
Seconded. Just checked and I have 345 hours in Slay the Spire. Trying to get those ascension levels is absolutely brutally hard but in a fun way. My only gripe is that for every ascension modifier, the deck that beats it per class is the exact same deck every time. Every deck basically has a "god deck" that if you get the right relics and RNG you can use. It will beat the game under any circumstance. That is basically what you are trying to get every time you play when you are trying to get the higher ascension levels, so it has become pretty repetitive. But holy shit is this game worth the money.
The survival aspects feel unnecessary and just add busywork. It's a shame because I adore the atmosphere and design. I feel like they could have just done without the crafting system completely and focused more on environmental puzzle elements.
This looks great. Dead Cells launched in a similar mostly finished state and they just kept adding weapons and content on a constant basis. If this follows the same path it should be a great success.
