Jul 5, 2023This game is very fun but can feel unfair at points a lot of the negative reviews say that the RNG makes the game unfair, but you usually want to go with the flow when picking cards, rather than just hope for a specific build and get disappointed when you don't get it

Aug 12, 2023Basically THE deckbuilding roguelike, complete with overpowered decks and plenty of rng to screw up your run.

May 31, 2022Slay the Spire is the very definition of a game that's simple to learn and difficult to master. The core mechanics and gameplay are so easy that anyone can pick it up and have a relatively fun time, but learning how to survive takes time and effort. No matter the level, it remains engaging throughout by making every choice meaningful, and victory is decided by your skill and just a dash of RNG. There are many clones out there, many of which are excellent on their own right, but the original Slay the Spire is still one of the most addictive deck-builders ever made.

CD-ActionDec 11, 2019Slay the Spire proves that tactical games can glue the player to the chair for long hours without depriving them of mental comfort. At this moment Mega Crit’s debut doesn’t seem to have any competition – neither in the card game genre, nor in the roguelike. [03/2019, p.68]
