Slay the Spire

Slay the Spire

I've been compulsively playing Slay the Spire on my tablet for the last few months, and I have to say it's a really well designed game. It's a deck building fighting game where decks are built on the basis of cards randomly won in each fight. This means that while you can optimise your choices as they are presented to you, you can't build a deck from scratch to win. As a consequence, you need to adapt to the available options constantly, which makes it challenging and brings the learning curve into play. There are four characters you can play with different strategies and decks each. It's similar in feel and construction to Balatro which I played a lot last year. A new version is supposed to be out later this year, and I'll certainly be looking out for that.
