It seems like a great game but I just cAnt get into it :( maybe the style or gameplay isn’t for me, idk

I’ve sunk so many hours into Slay the Spire, such a good game.

I think at this point it’s a “comfort game” for me that I go back to occasionally if I don’t feel like playing anything new or am having a bad day.

I've poured over 1000 hours into Spire. It has consumed my life. Help me.

The vanilla game is amazing enough as is, but once you've mastered A20H with all four characters do check out the thriving mod scene. My favorites:

Characters:
The Packmaster - If you play just one mod character, make it this one. Absolutely top notch collab.
The Adventurer
The Thorton
The Shaman
The Bladedancer
The Aquatic
The Avocado
Robot Space Explorer

Gameplay/content addons:
Chimera Cards
Spire Locations
Reliquary
One Hundred Relics
Wandering Minibosses
Battle Towers

QoL/misc:
Minty Spire
Bestiary
Googly Eyes

The spire sleeps, and so shall I.

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.

Thank you both @Mirrorgiraffe and @buffaloseven ! I'll check those games out. :)

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.

And while there are some incredible mods for the game, if you are into grinding super hard content there are 1000s of hours in the base game.

Make sure to try out the Kill la Kill mod for it, it is excellent

I recommend it as well. I have recently been playing Across The Obelisk, it's like STS on steroids, great fun!

neuropean, 10 months ago

Have close to 500 hours into it. The daily mod run makes everyday a new game. Would highly recommend.

It's quite addictive and a real bang for the buck at 66% off! Here's a link.

It's even one of those rare games that works well on touchscreen-screens for Windows, and is also a real treat to play on the Steam Deck.

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)

Samowar, 10 months ago

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!

astro_smurf, 10 months ago

great game, well worth beating it with the different characters

cunninsa, 10 months ago

I like the game but I’m terrible at it

damirK, 10 months ago

It is also coming to Apple Arcade on July 7th!

I used to play hearthstone but needed to delete it to get out of the loot cycle. This was a healthier replacement and can be played offline.
