Really worth , its entreteining, difficult, but with a great lerning curve. I am not a big fan myself of card games, but this one entreteined me a lot anyway. Although it has some small downsides still some of them are subjective.
- Really entreteining and gratifying to progress
- Lot's of possibilities and combinations
- It's hard
- Slightly repetitive
- Don't like the design personally

Slay The Spire is a digital card game mixed with rogue-lite elements to make an interesting single player deck builder game each play through will be encountered with different deck builds and encounters.
What is Slay the Spire?
In Slay The Spire you build a new deck in each run from scratch starting with the same base cards per three playable characters. The way you gain new cards is through defeating enemies and buying cards from the merchant with gold gained from each successful encounter or through the random events on the map giving you either a random battle, mini game or a scenario to choose an outcome for. However, this being a rogue-lite game all the progress from one run does not carry over. You gain experience to unlock more items to help in the next run being it new cards or relics.
How does the game work?
There is three different characters to play with being: Ironclad is the tank starting cards buff the player’s strength giving more attack damage and attack cards. Silent is the rouge starting cards apply poison to the enemies to deal damage over time, at the start of each combat phase you draw two additional cards. Defect is the wizard, this characters starting cards apply defense and generate orbs that surround the character causing damage after every turn, applying defense or charging after every turn to do more damage when using a card that releases that orb.
Being a rogue-lite each character plays differently allowing the player to choose a role they like best to play and master with many hours of play to learn effectively and to gain ground during the run, knowing which cards stack best with one another to deal the most damage and which cards to remove early in game, the key is having a deck between 10 to 15 cards because once your draw pile reaches 0 the discard pile reshuffles into the draw pile.
Between battles you move up each act map choosing a branched path leading to different encounters on the road being it a battle while beating it you gain gold and a card to add to your deck. Merchant where the player can buy new cards, relics or health. rest point where the player can choose from gaining a percentage of health or to upgrade one card or a mystery from being the mini game. random battle or a choice of it being a card upgrade or relic which comes with a curse and more.
Strategy for your deck.
The deck that you build must interact with the relics you pick up in each run, each relic alters the chapter in each run being it a buff for cards or de-buffs for example, if you end your turn with no block you will gain 6 block or the de-buff of being cursed putting a certain amount of cards in your deck that cannot be played but giving the player an additional action point to use.
Where the game shines are in the card combat it is easy to pick up with the action point and block system. Visually pleasing battles, cards are simple to understand, the effects that will happen when playing it unlike some other card game which gets you into the game quickly in return making it hard to master and gives tones of room to grow knowing each enemy type and their weakness and which cards are best for which acts. The enemy types in Slay The Spire are different to each other being it one enemy gaining shields at the start of each turn, to having enemy’s spawning in one to three minions to fight alongside them, to having an enemy defeated It turns into two smaller versions of its self.
Final verdict.
The game is a ton of fun it is easy to pick up and hard to master, all I want to do is get back into it and master it to get further up the map. So, if you’re a fan of rogue-lite and card games and a challenge I do recommend this game on top of it there is mod support to add a ton more content when you finish the game.

The game is absolutely amazing and has a great learning curve, it took me about 25 hours to slay the spire with each characters. There are lots of ways to build a character and and the game has basically infinity replayability. The game is pretty short, but there are higher difficulties after you "slay the spire" and then again there are also tons of mods to download, new characters, tons of new relics and cards, new events and most importantly you can add googly eyes to enemies
- Engaging and fun experience
- Infinite replayability
- Modding
- Littlebit short, but can be fixed with mods

This game is amazing. The developers are awesome and have presented a beautiful game. It's addicting and it makes you want to play more and more, trying to have a run better than last time. You play and play, and suddenly, 2, 3, 4 hours have gone by and you didn't even notice it. To me, that's a sign of a great game.
- Addicting
- Very replayable
- Beautigully crafted
- Awesome gameplay

If you want a fast game that does not take you long to learn and play. This is your game, is not an easy game whatsoever, it takes a while to get use to it.
Furthermore, there is not only a way to complete the game. You can complete it with different strategies and decks and there are no runs that are equal to other.
If you had fun playing hearthstone you will have fun playing this..
