kind of a traumatic read cuz seeing all these champion names is like a nuclear barrage of horrible memories, but renekton is so cool they should put him in a game that doesn't make people hate themselves

@weatherby
nailed it. maybe two for good measure

@dreamboat
it's fuckin miserable, and I couldn't believe it persists during the combat layer. you can't go 10 seconds without another quip

@yeij
it's very, very close to a dating sim while skirting the bits that would cement it as one. I don't think there's full on romancing involved, but it builds directly off that template and tone for its social layer and you go on Not Dates and shit. not as fun as I made it sound, I'm sure, but it's soo close and so built around making the player feel special that it's hard not to draw the comparison

I like slay the spire. I'm not in love with it the way some people are, but it's one of the roguelites that I'll load up every once in a while and do a few runs in and have a good time. deckbuilding's never really been my thing outside of the occasional mtg draft tournament when I was younger, but for what it is I have no big issues. cool ass game, definitely like it more than monster train or the other clones I've tried and if I squint I can see a version of myself that has 1000 hours in it. maybe if it came out 10 years earlier

hell yeah marble zone rules

WE WON, EAT SHIT TRANSPHOBES AND ADJACENT BIGOTED FREAKS
