in the past


To this day, this game is still the standard for rouge-like deck builders. There's a lot of builds you can pull off with the right cards and when it all comes together the game just plays amazing. No run ever feels the same.

However my only complaint is that the RNG shafts you sometimes with the bosses. You'll have a certain build that gets absolutely countered by the floor boss which will end your potential god run.

Very well balanced, good music and art. Fun making builds, some runs feel unwinnable but maybe skill issue

This game could be so much more. but the rng is infiruatinly bad. the game is addictive but frustrating so you are, like... in real addiction..? huh..

A rewarding yet difficult roguelike deckbuilder. Unforgiving and punishing at times, Slay the Spire rewards players that are patient and adaptive.


Achei o jogo bem divertido com um dos personagens, e não tanto com outros. Acabei só finalizando com os dois primeiros personagens e decidi que já era o suficiente pra mim.

Achei as runs um pouco demoradas também, apesar que dá para pausar e voltar depois. Se o jogo tivesse runs mais rápidas para mim ficaria mais interessante.

The definitive roguelike deckbuilder, the very definition of easy-to-learn, hard-to-master. This game set a standard that is still being followed to this day. Even if you think you know all the strategy of this game, you probably don't and should go play 100 more hours about it

eu nunca vou esquecer de quando veio essa na ps plus e todo mundo reclamando que era ruim, pois eu amei o jogo tanto que até peguei platina, gostei mt da mecânica de ataque por cartas, de melhorar o deck, criar estratégias, escolher caminhos a seguir, de longe um dos meus roguelikes favoritos.

I've never been more addicted to a game. Well back to the spire I go.

Roguelike card game with a good amount of strategy needed. Didn't get too far because I'm not good at it.

nonostante concettualmente mi piacca molto lo stile del videogioco, lo trovo personalmente parzialmente noioso. Comunque un ottimo deck builder roguelike

This game is like objectively a good one, and one that totally redefined the landscape of the genre, and I also viscerally hate it. I've probably played close to 100 hours, and I'm still bad at it.

incredible card game. love the design of everything, extremely well made and theres so much to do and stuff to learn

i really like this game but it caused deck builders to exist

Um jogo fantástico que criou o gênero de cardgame roguelike, extremamente viciante e desafiador, mesmo sendo um dos primeiros desse gênero, continua sendo um dos melhores até hoje.

Most badass card-based RPG I've ever laid eyes upon + Only badass card-based RPG I've ever laid eyes upon

Çok çeşitli bir oyun değil ama gayet kaliteli

Absurdo de bom. O fato de ser feio da até mais charme

Where it Shines:
Card System - 9/10
Replayability - 8/10
Custom Runs - 7/10

The Good:
StS is undoubtedly the gold standard for Rogue Like Deckbuilders. It deserves the praise it gets, for the most part.
Runs feel satisfying, you learn quickly, and the relics, shops, events, cards, etc, all feel really fun. It's definitely the "Just one more run..." game.
The game on steam also has an incredible modding community and there are tons of extra characters, modes, modifiers, and other changes to breathe life into the game once it gets stale.

The Bad:
For all it's praises, the game really does have a lot of flaws. It's easy to just 4 star review this and move on, but I want to highlight areas where I think it really desperately needs some attention.
- music is serviceable, but very generic
- artwork feels like an early 2000's flash game. You'd have expect to see homestarrunner and his gang pop in
- only 4 main characters, half of which are very basic and make runs too easy, the other half of which are overly complicated and runs feel like a coin toss
- good run customization, but the game needs a sandbox mode where you can experiment without restriction
- ported a ton of times over the last 6 years but no real improvements made at all
- some relics and run modifiers just flat out suck. Like trash garbage, unusable.

Summary:
So is it good or not? I think base StS, although hands down is the best out there, still has flaws that drag it down. However, it's still fun overall to play. Will you get bored of it? Sure, but that could be 20 hours in, 30, 40, 100...it depends on how into it you are. And then you can mod it to get even more life. It's probably the most average game I've put over a hundred hours into and counting, which is maybe why I'm so critical of it. I want it to be better. I want it to sound better, look better, play better. Because people keep making rogue like deckbuilders, and they keep trying to reinvent the wheel when StS has the fundamentals down pat. I just want someone to copy StS and give it the polish it deserves.

Note on my ratings:

Treat my stars like Michelin Stars - just having one means the game is worth playing in some way.

1/2 ⭐: hot trash garbage, since you can't do zero stars here
⭐: below average, needs work
⭐⭐: average
⭐⭐⭐: pretty good
⭐⭐⭐⭐: excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: all time favourite

I don't know if I'll ever beat this but I can't think of a game recently that I can just lose hours in it.

Esquece, aqui tamo falando da elite.

Está bien y sé que tuvo una gran influencia. Pero no pasó mucho tiempo para que se me quitaran las ganas de seguir jugándolo, después de algunos intentos se vuelve tedioso el reset.

While it's not the first deckbuilding game ever, it changed the landscape permanently and holds a crown as best-in-genre for many, many players.

Its the best game. I don't know what else you want from me

Juego de cartas en la mazmorra.

Slay the Spire would be 5 stars if I wasn't so damn bad at it. I managed to beat the Heart and that's me done. I dipped into Ascensions and like... so I watch streamers play and they go "take this, this, this, okay now get this and my build is done" and they win EVERY TIME. And I try to learn from them but I just... my stupid dumb brain can't get any further.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that this is a near perfect game and everyone should give it a go


50 hours in and I haven't even gotten into playing as the defect or the watcher, this game is really fun and the existence of an Android port makes it just a perfect phone game, it works so well on this format and I don't think I can even go back to playing it on ps4

i'm not good at it but it keeps pulling me back in

Gave me what I needed when I needed it

Super fun deck building rouge like game. With 4 characters, tons of cards and artifacts there's is quite a bit of replayability and unique experiences.

I often have the urge to go back and play every once and a while, often on the daily climb.
