Description
We fused card games and roguelikes together to make the best single player deckbuilder we could. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and Slay the Spire!
Features - Dynamic Deck Building: Choose your cards wisely! Discover hundreds of cards to add to your deck with each attempt at climbing the Spire. Select cards that work together to efficiently dispatch foes and reach the top. - An Ever-changing Spire: Whenever you embark on a journey up the Spire, the layout differs each time. Choose a risky or safe path, face different enemies, choose different cards, discover different relics, and even fight different bosses! - Powerful Relics to Discover: Powerful items known as relics can be found throughout the Spire. The effects of these relics can greatly enhance your deck through powerful interactions. But beware, obtaining a relic may cost you more than just gold.

Pretty much a perfect game and a serviceable mobile port. Put tons of hours into the game on PC and another phone.

Never once did I consider deck-building turn-based combat games a thing. But this one did, and I am in love — Please, MEGABIT. Keep making great games and also — Please give me Slay the Spire 2 on Mobile, I beg of you!! 🙏🙏

One of my top two favorite games on android (Balaton is the other). Easy enough to pick up and play but challenging enough for repeated play. The subtleties and variety of play types is what got me hooked.

Slay the Spire is a great game. On PC. This implementation is awful on a phone. You can't zoom and the text is tiny. It is really easy to accidentally select the wrong card, and difficult to deselect, so you wind up playing stuff you didn't mean to play. It may work on a tablet, but I want anyone who's considering picking it up for a phone to be aware of its issues.

More than 100hrs on both Slay the Spire and Slay the Spire 2, and even though the UI and gameplay was clunky, I still had my 60+hrs of fun nonetheless. That was until the game decided that the cloud save triumphed over the local save, and rolled back all my progress. I lost at least 40 of those 60hrs, 5 difficult achievements and 6 ascensions... The game always used to ask me which save I would like to keep, but it decided not to this time. This review will stay 1 star until this gets fixed.

Entirely luck based gameplay. Oops, you drew poorly on your first turn. I guess you get to lose like a retard. Hopefully they don't port the 2nd game
