    This game is absolutley one of those, "I know exactly what to do until I'm playing," games. As evidenced when RT played the last two runs and everyone in chat knew what to do, but when I (a chat member) played the demo the next day I was making equally stupid plays.

    What a gorgeous game, I can't express how much I appreciate the art style INFORMING the game mechanics and visa versa. Those charms are a perfect example. They don't just "slot" or "attach". That would be representative of a mechanical art style at best, or a very aggressively lazy one that didnt mean anything and just visually represented game code interacting. Instead the charms kind jangle,and they tie up together when more than one is applied.
    That's what games are about. Giving a very firm but polite middle finger to EVERYTHING that isn't exactly what the dev's vision percieved. Looking just as unique as the human beings who concocted it

    this game feels like it has a lot of potential that's lost by a lot of design desicions which boil down to "be lucky or die". I get randomization is a way to keep things fresh, and the card game format sort of requires some amount by nature, but stuff like "this card, best case scenario, has a 1 in 6 chance of dooming your ENTIRE RUN by applying soulbound to the leader" and "this enemy makes it so you cannot control who your allies attack at all, and it's on the field with a combination of priority targets and things you really don't want to hit" isn't fresh or interesting, it's just frustrating

      a lot of the steam reviews say the game is too hard, but i think this is the actual problem they're trying to call to attention. i'm not a card game expert, but to me, slay the spire feels like it works because it has fewer enemy effects and a more standard battle system, so it feels as though there is a lower chance of being screwed over by an effect you never got a card to counter- and hence, less rng. that's just how it feels to me, though.

    There's a demo for this on switch as well, just as fun to play as it is the watch ( if not a little less chaotic)

    From what I can see, this game is all about deck dynamics, combo stacking, and how well your attention span is. Especially concerning the sacrifice summoner deck because it can be extremely powerful in the right hands but you need exceptional planning to pull that off correctly.

    Alrighty, 3:30 seconds into the video and I want to play this game. Sooo I'll come back and finish watching your video AFTER the game comes out and I play it myself. Thanks for adding another game to my ever-expanding list of games I want to play.

    I really like how easy this game is to pick up but tricky to be consistently good at.

    Back when i played the demo of this during a steam next fest something like a year ago i just kept my pc running for several days in a row after the end of the next fest so i could keep playing it to completion. That's how youtubing good this game is.

    Soulbound is the kind of card that will instantly kill your hero if he is the random soulbound target. Maybe if it's paired with the dice your hero can block it? Other than that, you can't win. I feel like this was an oversight. Perhaps a condition that prevents the hero from being affected. Then again, the ability is just overpowered against bosses, so maybe the idea is you use it as an act of desparation, when you have no other option, because then you have a chance to come out okay.
