Varying from highly addictive to punishing, Slay the Spire is a delightfully crafted deckbuilding and roguelike hybrid.

At a basic level, combat is easy to understand. You get a certain amount of energy or mana every turn, by default 3, and spend this resource on cards granting you defences or the ability to pummel your enemies down a peg. As enemies telegraph their intentions, the combat is elevated to a system in which you are constantly trying to find the most optimal solution to the puzzle. Over time, you’ll familiarize yourself with the moveset of the well varied enemies and you can end up with some genuinely intriguing combat sequences as the synergy in your deck builds up. Nothing is more satisfying than finally returning to the boss that gave you trouble before, only to show it your freshly unpacked card collection.

As a deckbuilding, roguelike hybrid the game does an excellent job with each respective element holding up the other very well. Without a doubt I can recommend Slay the Spire to anyone.
