After 152.3 hours of playing this game, I thought it might be best for me to uninstall it so that I could focus more on my school work so that I can graduate and get my Bachelor's degree. One week later, Slay the Spire II was released. I am going to fricking fail my classes, bro.

My kid got me into this game via the board game. We played that thing to death....well, the heart never really dies... but my son had been playing the digital game, and well, let's just say I have put 120 hours into this game in the last few weeks....Need to get back to work now....or....maybe one more game.

Before You Read I picked this game up during the Winter Sale last year because it appeared in the historical low price section. Honestly, it was an impulse purchase and I was not even sure if I would ever play it. It turned out to be a complete eye opener. Before playing this game, I had absolutely no experience with card games. Not even in real life. I did not know what deck building meant or how it worked. Yet somehow the game pulled me in purely because of how well it is designed. All of a sudden I found myself introduced to an entirely new genre, and it delivered one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I am writing this review especially for someone who has little to no interest in card games or has zero experience with deck building. If that sounds like you, then this game might surprise you the same way it surprised me. Gameplay Slay the Spire is a roguelike deck builder with four playable characters. You begin with a starter collection of cards that form your deck. Your goal is simple. Climb the tower floor by floor and survive. You start at Floor 1 and attempt to reach the final encounters through three different Acts. Every run is different. You will face different bosses, elite enemies, events, and choices each time you play. Throughout your journey you collect: [*]New cards that shape your strategy [*]Potions that provide temporary advantages [*]Relics that act as permanent buffs for your character What makes this game incredible is how unique every run feels. As you spend more time playing, you naturally learn how cards interact with each other. You begin creating builds without even realizing it. The choice of cards and how efficiently you use them matters far more than luck. Knowledge becomes your greatest strength. My favorite part is how fair the game feels. Every time you lose, you learn something valuable. Instead of frustration, you feel motivated to try again and improve. As you unlock the remaining characters, each one introduces completely different mechanics, cards, and playstyles. It almost feels like learning a new game every time. If you are tired of long open world AAA games filled with distractions and filler content, this is the opposite experience. You simply sit down and play. No gimmicks. No wasted time. Just pure gameplay. Every run feels meaningful. Bosses and Enemy Design As you progress, you will encounter many bosses and elite enemies. I genuinely have no complaints here. They can feel punishing when you first meet them, but the game respects your time. The more knowledge you gain, the more manageable they become. Each Act has its own pool of enemies and bosses. Encounters are randomized, meaning every climb feels fresh. Even side bosses vary between runs, forcing you to adapt instead of relying on one strategy. Enemies are unique and often act like puzzles you must solve using your deck. The challenge never feels unfair. It feels earned. Presentation and Atmosphere I honestly do not want to focus too much on graphics because this is not that type of game. The visuals do exactly what they need to do. Each Act has its own atmosphere and personality, which keeps the journey interesting instead of feeling repetitive. If you end up loving this game, it will almost certainly be because of the gameplay depth rather than graphical fidelity. Summary Slay the Spire surprised me in the best possible way. I went in with zero expectations and no knowledge of card games. What I found was a deeply rewarding experience that constantly teaches you, challenges you, and respects your time. [*]Extremely addictive gameplay loop [*]Massive replay value [*]Fair and rewarding difficulty [*]Unique characters and builds [*]Perfect for short or long play sessions If you have ever looked at deck builders and thought, "this is probably not for me," then I strongly recommend giving this one a chance. It might just open the door to an entirely new genre for you, the same way it did for me.

This game is so good that it has taken me close to 200 hours of gameplay before I finally realized that I am trash at this game

Slay the Spire. The game requires you to use all your brainpower on the highest difficulty even if you already sunk hundreds of hours into it. The learning curve is almost endless and no 2 runs are the same. The game has tremendous depth and the longer you play, the more you can appreciate it.
