      @@ebraheemblekaa8356 There is no campaign. It's basically endless runs. A normal run ends after you beat 3 acts, which takes around an hour. If you are looking for a challenge there are Ascension modes where the difficulty ramps up considerably, plus you can unlock an optional extra difficult 4th act to get the "true" ending.

      @@warrcoww6717 lol in your opinion, it's subjective, just like all games objectively this game is closer to a 4/5 or even 5/5. Sure it's not the most popular game because I think people misjudge it before even trying to play it(as I did) but when I started playing it because I had nothing to lose(it was free) I loved it, it's much better than I initially judged it. I went from thinking like you to now disagreeing with you because I tried it out.

    There are 2 main issues. 1. RNG game balance. There are some enemies that are just ridiculously powerful compared to others (as soon as you see them, you know you are dead). 2. Lack of clarity. The game literally requires you to put in hundreds if not thousands of hours to learn all the unwritten details for each enemy, or have a walk through in front of you for how to defeat them all.

    I can see the appeal of combining deck build and rogue dungeon, but for me, the most fun aspect of deck building is getting rare cards and building stronger deck to go against opponents with equally stronger deck. The selling point of this game is the variety each run offers, which I vastly enjoy in other types of roguelikes, but not in card games.

    • @jackc5142
      @jackc5142 5 років тому +6

      STS fully incorporates that feeling of getting stronger and picking up more cards, more than this review shows. Beating bosses or special enemies give rarer and more powerful cards, and as you progress through a run the randomized rewards you get to choose from are straight up better than the rewards you were allowed to pick from a few levels back. The inclusion of a leveling system also allows you to grow stronger between runs as you unlock more possible rewards to choose from everytime you hit a certain score threshold across all runs (divided by characters).

      Armand Steenkamp I assume you have endless hours to spare if you spend time on a video of a company whom you don't respect.

    "don't mistake it for a deckbuilding game like hearthstone or magic the gathering" in fact those aren't deck building games. "deck building" is a very specific sub-genre of card games (and slay the spire is a deck building game, at least)

    slay the spire is not rogue like lol. it just has the conventional aesthetics of one

      It IS classified as one. A roguelike.
      Maybe YOU need to try re-evaluating what roguelike means.

      The roguelike community is so freaking homo. They try so hard to act hard and protective over the genre but none ever played the original game Rogue.

      "IGN" isnt some sort of humanoid mega corporation. It has real people working there. Tom knows what he's talking about and what he's doing. Don't blindly hate a company because everyone else does.
