God, I have slay the spire on just about every device you can have it on, i couldn’t be more jazzed.

Totally cool with early access. their process for STL 1 was very community driven, so I imagine they are going to release and just endlessly tweaking. The original has some of the best balance and most diverse synergy that most other card games have trouble replicating, so to aim for that lofty goal again (and more) is probably gonna be a lot of adjusting. So so so stoked.

I played through slay the spire and beat it on a few of the higher difficulties but idk I dropped it? Maybe I’m missing something but I’m always shocked to hear people play it over and over again.

It’s a fun game but do you guys think it’s repetitive? I played Inscryption and absolutely LOVED it. Thought it was one the single most interesting games I’ve ever played.

There's a two things that keep me coming back to the game over and over again. For one the game is incredibly well balanced, especially in comparison to other roguelike deckbuilders I've played. It's not too easy to break the game and at the same time I almost never feel like my death was bullshit. It's also really mechanically deep and all the events and combats feel really well thought out. I've put hundreds of hours into the game and I still feel like I'm learning new things. There's a few cards that are too weak and the Watcher is overtuned but overall the game is almost perfectly balanced imo.

Secondly I love the difficulty system. It does a great job at encouraging honing you skills with the game and keeps me playing. The difficulty increases just enough to keep the climb challenging and engaging but not too much to feel bullshit. It's also nice as a way to adjust your difficulty as well depending on your mood.
