@@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.

This steam special got me: Dead Cells Slay The Spire Yakuza Like A Dragon Celeste Ori And The Blind Forest Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Phasmophobia Skul Sekiro Saved 75% on a lot of games and enjoying every second of every game
300 hours in between Xbox and Switch. Gonna give it a go on PS5. After all this time, still can’t beat ascension 20 with any character, but still addicted. Defect is my main.
This game is great, however what would truly make it a hit is a multiplayer function. Basically if MTG was made in a Risk of Rain format, this game is it. However mutliplayer would make it exponentially better.
I've been playing a similar mobile game I found called Dungeon Tales. If offers much less content but was enough to get me hooked into looking into this one. Im absolutely interested in this now.
"This isn't your typical deck-builder like Magic: the Gathering and Hearthstone." Those aren't deck-builders. They're CCG's (Collectable Card Games.) Deck-builders are games that have their decks built *during* the actual game. Not pre-built beforehand.
Even if you knew how to play...everything else is luck. Going left vs right can mean a low lv 3 way fight or a 1 enemy fight. Kinda just grinding til the game lets you win.

Monster Slayers is this game feature for feature, and even some cards are exactly the same. Except Monster Slayers came out way before this game, and people don’t seem to realise that. It’s also available on consoles.
how does it compare to Eternal? i find that game has major balancing problems where you haven't got a chance in hell with common cards against people that stack lengendaries, which hardly cost anything to play when you consider how effective they are in battle.
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.
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).
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 finished the game using the Defect class. The class really makes the game easier. You can check the strategy on my channel. I just posted the video a while ago.
Its three runs of different random generated dungeons with increased difficulty with a boss at the end of each.If you beat all 3 its considered a win.And then you play again.It i s NOT easy to beat the last boss though.
"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)
"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.
I played hundreds of hours on Slay The Spire. I absolutely love the game and I most definitely recommend it to anyone who consider getting STS.
Is there an ending to the game? like a main campaign to go through, or is it just endless runs?
Well it's free on psn so think I'll give it a go
What's STS?
would you recommend the game to someone who doesent know what STS is?
@@RedFoxRoaming Bro. Slay The Spire. STS. S T S. Get it ha

Worf, I didn't even know Slay the Spire was available on the Holodeck.
0/5
the hardest feat to accomplish in Slay the Spire is closing the game
It quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely worth getting, the base game + mods make it infinitely replayable.
Got this game on sale for the switch and my first session went on for 6 hours. This game is super addictive.
Hope you finished it this time

I have 180 hours in the pc version. Just bought the switch version to start playing on the go. Love this game!
Just bought this for my Steam Deck , it’s March 2024… im hooked on this.
This steam special got me:
Dead Cells
Slay The Spire
Yakuza Like A Dragon
Celeste
Ori And The Blind Forest
Ori And The Will Of The Wisps
Phasmophobia
Skul
Sekiro
Saved 75% on a lot of games and enjoying every second of every game
im sure the story in yakuza is amazing. but unfortunately they completely changed the gameplay. how is it?
Slay the Spire and Factorio are the two most essential GAMES of all time.
One of those rare games you can always discover more of but never quite solve. Still surprised after 400 hours
What are you surprised by?

Hearthstone and MtG are not "deck builders" in the mechanical sense.
Such a great game. Solid review, Tom! 👏
It's 7 dollars on a Steam Summer Sale right now. Should I buy it? Is it worth the price?
it will take you about 1000 hours to beat all the classes on the ascension 20. it's amazing, difficult, and very rewarding.
So basicly dominon with rougle like elements
Played 9 hours in one sitting 10/10 digital crack
Thank you IGN, very cool!
I love Topple the Tower
I prefer Sanitize the Structure
How could we forget Annihilate the Architecture?

One of the only times I would say this looks better suited to the mobile market.....feels weird sayin it..

One of the best game of 2017, so addictive
2019
Addictive is bad, I think you mean engaging.
When will this release on Switch?
June 6
I want it on Switch for the mobility, but PC has mods.... Gah.
this game will be on ps plus in april..
It's a brilliant game for nintendo switch, cheap too
I still like Hearthstone's Dungeon Run more but I feel like I'm heavily in the minority. Still a fun game though for sure.
absolutely brilliant game. amazing concept
Wait, are you reviewing IGN's own game?
Should have been a 10, easy 10
I can’t wait to play this on switch I went to go buy it today but I guess it’s not up yet
Checking it out right now. Looks like a decent and fun game
this game looks cool but whats up with the lack of character animations?
also is it worth $19.99 on the nintendo switch?
