    L'indé à chier du jour est une espèce de jeu de cartes bricolé par un cave dans ses chiottes alors qu'il poussait de toutes ses forces sur le trône... et tout ce qu'il a accouché, c'est ça ! une espèce de sale jeu de cartes moisies mâtiné d'un pseudo-jeu de rôle (lol ?) à la mords-moi-le-zob.

    C'est laid à faire peur et franchement ça fait peur, tellement c'est laid ! en 2D 16 couleurs,    L'indé à chier du jour est une espèce de jeu de cartes bricolé par un cave dans ses chiottes alors qu'il poussait de toutes ses forces sur le trône... et tout ce qu'il a accouché, c'est ça ! une espèce de sale jeu de cartes moisies mâtiné d'un pseudo-jeu de rôle (lol ?) à la mords-moi-le-zob.

    Remballe ton étron, dégage ta terrine, et surtout, ne demande pas d'argent pour ça : c'est une honte de faire des trucs pareils et d'oser le... vendre (?!?). Même gratuit, on n'en veut pas de ton sous-sous-produit !    … Expand

    I’ve been hearing that slay the spire was such an awesome game. Whenever people ask what’s a good game to buy these days..I always see a few people mention slay the spire. So to my excitement when this became available for Game Pass...I thought awesome..now let’s see what all the fuss is about. Good lord this game sucks. I gave it a good chance and it’s just so boring.

So to my excitement when this became available for Game Pass...I thought awesome..now let’s see what all the fuss is about. Good lord this game sucks. I gave it a good chance and it’s just so boring. Maybe the nerds are trying to be edgy or whatever by thinking gameplay over graphics because let’s just say there is no animation to your attacks. It’s use your card and it does it’s damage or blocking and that’s it. So you think..it’s all about strategy and it’s depth...nah..this game sucks and whoever says it’s great is full of bleep. The game was boring and not fun at all...

    I gave it a two because it’s a game that would be suited for mobile or the Nintendo switch as it’s pretty pick up and play only if your beyond bored...    … Expand

    Slay the Spire is a great game...to a point.
    The problem is that the endgame -- once you have cleared the base quest with all three characters -- is preposterously difficult, even for a Roguelike. In a genre classic such as Hades, the player is rewarded for experimenting with different builds based on drops. In StS, if you don't luck out and get the exact right combination of cards, at    Slay the Spire is a great game...to a point.
    The problem is that the endgame -- once you have cleared the base quest with all three characters -- is preposterously difficult, even for a Roguelike. In a genre classic such as Hades, the player is rewarded for experimenting with different builds based on drops. In StS, if you don't luck out and get the exact right combination of cards, at exactly the right point in the game, you're totally effed. Enemies are idiotically overpowered, and minor mistakes can be catastrophic. This turns what was an absolutely thrilling and addictive experience into a lame, frustrating grind. Why bother to keep playing if it all comes down to dumb luck? An enormous disappointment.

    UPDATE: Dropped the score from a 6 to a 4 due to the absurd end-game difficulty. Your capacity to slay the heart has virtually nothing to do with skill, and is entirely based on luck. It is *possible*, but will require you to get every requisite card, in a particular order, while landing only on enemies that it is possible to defeat. The developers ruined an otherwise excellent deck-building experience with ridiculously imbalanced difficulty. A challenge is welcome, but rolling the dice -- which is all that the latter stages of Slay is -- gets very boring very fast.    … Expand

    Accessible, deep, addictive and full of variety: Slay the Spire is the definitive card game on consoles.

    Card-based combat doesn't get much more satisfying than in Slay The Spire and its roguelike campaign is quite a rewarding challenge.
