Mega Crit Games·Released Jan 23, 2019·Single player
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!
Slay the Spire is an endlessly addictive roguelike card-battler that’s a perfect fit for the Switch; a beautifully balanced game that’s arrived on Nintendo’s system with all the benefits of an extended period of Early Access on PC.
Slay the Spire takes some of the best parts of deckbuilding games, roguelikes, and dungeon crawlers, and mixes them into a wholly new and extremely satisfying package.
Roguelites teach their lessons in often devastating ways, and Slay the Spire is no different. Each new run can feel punishing and, at times, unfair. It wasn’t until I learned how to trim the fat and come up with counterintuitive deck ideas that I really started falling in love with the game.
Genres combine with beautiful precision in a game that offers simple pleasures and terrifying depths.
An incredibly well-crafted dungeon delve with hundreds of hours of crawling chaos
A strategically deep deckbuilder that, with any luck, has spawned a brilliant new subgenre.
A drug I don’t want to quit. A miracle of design? Yeah, go on.
