I've seen a couple of negative reviews about this game and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I need to explain why I disagree. In short, I think this game is really good most of the time. Interestingly enough, excelling in areas that it's often criticized for. First of all UI: Most of the UI is excellent. The game is very complex, but the UI makes it easy to understand what is going on most of the time. Both feedback to the player as well as transparency (which are the things that most games struggle with) are really well executed... But there are some quirks. Most notably that you can't sort your deck, since the implementation is a stack. (The card that is added last, will be furthest down). It's an unusual implementation for this kind of game, which is annoying enough for some other users to give it a bad review. I agree that it should have been implemented differently, but the rest of UI is so well executed that I still think that it's great overall. Balance: Some other reviews mentions that most of the time it's a cakewalk until you get to a enemy that you can't defeat... And well, yes, it happens. However, it's pretty clear which encounters are difficult, so you know what's coming. The thing is that at the moment of the writing (about 10 hours in if I remove the time I was idling with this game on), I had 4 moments of "Oh s**t, I'm totally screwed!!!", just to realize, that if I only do this, then this, then this, I could make it... just to overcome the original peril. These moments are often what people talks about in highly praised games, and are a sign of excellent balance. When it comes to "cakewalk and random death", mentioned in other reviews... Just as with UI, The game is amazingly well executed most of the time, falling short occasionally, and given negative reviews for those times. And finally aesthetics: Consistently beautiful and cute. Love it.

I like this game a lot, but there are many issues. Most of them come down to balance and content. A lot of characters are overpowered (seriously - this game just doesn't handle healers and debuffers well) while some feel like worse versions of others thus it can be easy to just play one composition. As for content, there is both a lot and too little. Each character brings usually 2-3 builds, but problem is that quite often one is just much stronger than other. You always pick party with gameplan in mind and see whether you manage to make it happen. Also its annoying that some bosses can be simply immune to whole character's schtick. One of characters has only one gameplan - stacking hex debuff, when some enemies can simply roll straigth out immunity to debuffs. As for looks - game looks quite cheerful with softer artstyle and I personally like it, but animations and clarity of information is lacking a bit. A lot of people complain about it being mobile-like but I didn't feel it. So to end this note - its really cute and simply calming game. It is worth in terms of buying and playing once in a while, but it is not something to put hundred of hours in.

What a hidden gem! I absolutely love Slay the Spire and any deck builder, for that matter. If you have any interest in deck-building games, you need to check this one out—it's right up there, second only to the greatest of all time. This game offers some unique features, there are three "zones" to explore, over 16 heroes - offering some excellent tri-hero synergies, and a unique timer system that lets you explore hexes; before the cataclysm appears which offers a mini-boss based on the region, before you fight the final boss! You start with three and unlock more heroes as you progress. Each hero can level up to 10, unlocking all their cards, and they can equip up to four artifacts. Some cool decks I've had fun with , a recent one was a minion deck that I ran through, using Carrion, Ragnarok, and Leon.

Pros: - Nice art style - Fun card/turn based combat - Good roster of characters, and all feel uniquely different - Plenty of in game info (such as status effect details, effect duration, ect.) - High replay value, with runs lasting from 30-90 minutes. Feeling a decent sense of progression towards unlocks with each run. Cons: - The game isnt all that difficult to beat. Took me about 4 runs to beat it on normal. Luckily there is a hard mode, but I have yet to try it. - Card unlocks for each character start out pretty slow. Verdict: 8/10 Great game, easy buy if on sale. Not a bad deal at full price.

Very good card battler. Wide variety of heroes and good mechanics. Very grindy if you want to 100% achievements as lots of heroes and two modes you need to grind through to get all of them but besides that, would recommend this one.
