Like most roguelikes, if at any point you should lose all your health then its game over and back to the beginning for you.Įvery stop on the map (for the most part) poses a potential threat, most of them challenging, some thought-provoking and a few that may offer some much-needed assistance. All of this culminates in a tough boss battle that will truly put your card battling skills to the test. Split into three separate maps, you’ll gradually battle your way through each, navigating their branching paths whilst every stop along the way taking part in some sort of location-based activity. Every attempted run will see you slowly building your deck of cards with fresh additions as you climb up a randomly generated spire filled with enemies, treasures and unpredictable situations aplenty. Slay the Spire is a turn-based card game with a roguelike twist. Sure I might recognize the eerie worlds I’m exploring or the nasty enemies trying so desperately to cut my journey short but it’s the evolving combat and unpredictable twists and turns that mean no two attempts at taking on the towering spire will ever be the same. There’s something special about Slay the Spire where even my fiftieth playthrough feels just as fresh, tense and exciting as the very first.
