Slay the Spire

The daily climbs are clever and challenging at a decent level

Difficult and very funny

I have played the game for hours on Steam, Android and GOG, it is challenging, fun, addictive and it has so many possibilities that I never get tired of it.

Fantastic deck-builder rougelike. I love it!

Slay the Spire is an absolute classic, a holy grail that managed to land what roguelikes are truly about. It's not just about having every game be a different experience, it's about making it worthy to replay it over and over and over. Some get it wrong making the core experience (what you play over and over) too long or too slow, some get it wrong in terms of heuristics (meaning you always end up defaulting to a trusted method to win), some get it wrong making the RNG too important so it ends up feeling unfair. After playing enough you can feel a lot of work went to find that right balance, and it paid off tremendously. What Slay the Spire nailed other than that is the casual nature of the game, how fun it feels to just go with whatever strategy and see where it takes you, thanks to that carefully managed balance, it feels rewarding in a way very few roguelikes, about cards or about whatever, can achieve. That's the secret sauce, it's a game that you can feel confident you can come back to any time knowing it will entertain you.
