  • Slay the Spire is a rogue-like deckbuilding card game - and it's awesome - and here's why! This is a video about Slay the Spire in 2022 - and why you need to play it.
    For the other game I recommended, check out this video on FTL:

    Hey guys! This game was amazing - and reminded me of FTL: th-cam.com/video/P66-U3pDxN4/w-d-xo.html - What are some other indie games I should play?

      Into the Breach!

    Great vid! This game is an absolute masterpiece, I've put in nearly 1000 hours (and easily watched 1000+ too) and bought it on 3 devices, (and even gifted it to friends so they could play it!) and still never ever get bored of it. I love that there's so many ways to play it - Ascension climbing, ladder climbing, winstreaking, speedrunning, the plethora of custom modes and even the mods. A game that truly can be played forever, there's simply no mastering this game which makes it one you can always return to. Been playing the game almost daily for years and I still can't quite believe the masterful balancing act that it is, no matter how many clones and copies there are of it, nothing will quite be as good as this.

      There's no denying it's the best in class. I recently tried Dicey Dungeon and enjoyed it - I think that's special in its own way, but nothing compares to this. What other games do you recommend?

      @@RoyMcCoy It's funny, I played Dicey Dungeons first and absolutely loved it, randomly bought it one night because I saw NorthernLion play it and played it all night, then I got Spire because it seemed similar and heard good things, then tried to play Dicey afterwards and Spire had completely ruined it for me, its fun but very lacking in depth and balance (much more luck dependant) comparatively. I haven't played too many similar games apart from Monster Train, which was also good, but didn't interest me for more than 10-15 hours - it's more tower defence, but is pretty fun to check out - recommend picking it up during a sale. For other Roguelikes/lites I personally have had a ton of enjoyment from Enter the Gungeon and Hades - fantastic games, very mechanically challenging too!

      I know I’m a bit late but I’ve been hooked on it and currently have it on 3 platforms. I’ve probably done hundreds of runs because I’m fairly new to the game, and I’ve only won a single run. But it’s just so addicting! I definitely share these sentiments

    The game itself isn’t much of a visual spectacle but the gameplay mechanics are simply phenomenal. Each move is almost like a puzzle where you’re tilting things in your favor as much as possible. It makes you realize how the basics are the core of any experience.

    Just beat it on my 5th overall run with the silent, hit the mindblow to upgrade all cards with no healing allowed then next room was a portal to the boss, it felt lucky but the final battle was still tight and I'm sure I wasn't playing perfectly but it felt great.

    While you can’t get the she deck over and over I do like how you they tailor the character with only 2/3 styles
    Personally I really only use the ironclad and the silent since I don’t understand the android and still haven’t gif the fourth guy but those 2 have 2 major Garbo jams you can use
    Personally for the ironclad I tend to prefer the stacking if free cards over the all out attack method while fir the silent shivs basically run my fake with some back up poison for passive (my favourite though I much prefer the iron class starter relic

    slay the spire came out of nowhere on release and quickly became one of the greatest roguelikes of all time with so much influence that it basically single-handedly popularized single player deck builders as a genre. love this game.

    Sine the game is so short the problem I run into is, when the cards you are looking don drop and the game's rng is awful....its great, but the car rotation can be the reason you die.
    I need to block to not die, game gives me nothing but attacks...happens...ALL the time.

    • @adino20
      @adino20 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m new to the game, but I think it’s possible to consistently get the cards you need by balancing your deck. If you choose too many attacks in the beginning, your run will end because with enemies and turns you will need to block in, you will take fatal damage.
