    It is in my opinion better slay the spire. From my experience far more enjoyable, just as complicated, and having a mana system of starting 5 feels so much more better the base 3 you get. The cards are fun, artworks can be cool, silly and god I've spent so much time playing this game. Also a Touhou game you need not know knowledge of playing the game. Just have fun.

    For people who have played Slay the Spire in the past and enjoyed it, Lost Branch of Legend could be the perfect balance of additional complexity and content variety to add to the classic formula. It might initially seem that the base mechanics are almost a 1:1 replica of Slay the Spire, which they basically are, but the coloured mana system used in this game give an impressively elegant new dimension to both deckbuilding and playing out battles. The 5 currently playable characters alongside the huge number of neutral cards gives you a huge cardpool to work with, with card access carefully managed by choice of artifact pick-ups based on the mana colours you might want during a run. It fantastically gives the player a sense of selection agency with great run-to-run variation, and I think it is a real highlight of the game's core design. If Lost Branch of Legend happens to be someone's first rougelike deck-builder, expect a relatively high learning curve, but keep in mind the strong basis of the tried and tested foundational systems built on the game's predecessors. Overall pros: Great character and build variety Build execution usually remains quite engaging even when it gets convoluted, which it often does High difficulty modes offers a decent challenge touhou Overall cons: Still in early access and some elements, including full story mode, are unfinished Derivative nature of gameplay concepts (from Slay the Spire, Magic: The Gathering) may put some people off, though it is my opinion that the implementation is acceptably innovative Complexity of the game often leads to very long runs (>2 hours) due to long battle times (You can of course save in the middle) (Subjectivity alert) Visually a little mediocre, the gameplay is definitely the highlight, a lot of the guest card art is really good though

    Slay the Spire if balance was "if everything is overpowered, nothing is overpowered". In other words, it's just Slay the Spire on crack.

    This game blows Slay the Spire out of the water. It is not even a competition. The art, the gameplay, the variety, the mechanics, everything is just strictly better. I got bored of StS after beating A20; I am still not bored of this one after 500 hours of play. I feel it would be better if it were not Touhou-themed because then it could be appealing to a greater number of people. I have never played Touhou or heard of Touhou before I stumbled upon this, so even if you do not care about the franchise, you should give this a go. Well worth the price.

    There are a lot of games inspired by Slay the Spire that don't really appreciate what works about it, as there are a lot of games inspired by Magic: the Gathering that don't really appreciate what works about it. Leave it to a brazenly derivative Touhou fangame that wears its inspirations on its sleeves to successfully make an interesting game using ideas from both. This feels like a major expansion to Slay the Spire, with enough of its own ideas to stand out, but you should come into it expecting a game that develops on StS's gameplay rather than something significantly different. The ideas that Lost Branch adds, however, are very interesting and fun to play with. My personal favorite thing about the game is that you are able to choose the Act 1 boss from among the other starting characters and guarantee that you will be offered one of their starting relics, which gives you access to both their unique cards, and cards of a color your character doesn't normally have. Unlike similar options in StS, Lost Branch is designed to support this: exclusive character archetypes actually have a lot of synergy with each other, and each character has unique cards that you can only access by taking on new mana colors that you can't start with normally. The result is a game that I think has appeal to people who specifically want more in the vein of Slay the Spire but are hungry for a game that actually has new ideas and thoroughly deep design. It's also a very well-presented game. Every card and enemy action seems to have its own unique animation. Your starting colorless Strike card changes color depending on what kind of mana you tapped to play it. And the music is really excellent.
