    Relaxing way to pass time and rewards thoughtful strategy. I find myself playing this game more than AAA titles. It has a good deal of randomness and unlockables to keep things interesting.
    I have ~30 hours playtime and it’s still fun. I didn’t expect to fall in love with this game!

    What a underrated card building game, if you like turn based strategy games with deck building give the game a play. Its a must play. Works great on xcloud also, and free on xbox game pass.

    Very good deck-building rogue game. The way your character traverses maps is very similar to FTL, navigating enemies, merchants, and miscellaneous encounters as you head to the boss encounter of each zone. If FTL is a 9, then Slay the Spire is fairly an 8, as it lacks the combat complexity and incredible soundtrack of FTL.

    This game is addicting. I grew up playing TCGs and the deckbuilding was my favorite part, so I think making it a mechanic is so cool. The difficulty is challenging, but fair, and definitely shoots up with each act change.

    Slay the Spire is a turn-based strategy game that makes use of cards to offer you choices in battle, but this is way oversimplifying the game. It is not an action RPG or a JRPG. This is more like chess, but with more pieces, more moves, more imbalances, and more boards (and more math). A game can take 10 minutes or 2+ hours if you like.

    I played this game on game pass and I loved it. It is very strategic as you have to take devastating debuffs in both the combat and campaign map if you want to win. It combines rng with strategy to help make the game both fun and difficult. Sometimes the game can screw you over but if you are smart you will win. And don't believe people when they say the game has bad graphics it sufficesI played this game on game pass and I loved it.

    As a huge fan of deck building games i was sceptical at first of this unique approach to the genre mixing it with rouge like genre, and i must say i was very happy with the final product. With loads of different deck variants along with the unique class builds the game has to offer, there is so many hours of content to this addicting game. 100% worth a try!!

    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.
