    Spire is simply too niche for most. But if you can squeeze yourself into that niche, prepare for addiction to take root.

    Definitely not for everyone. But regardless, at the end of the journey, after the countless deaths and billions of bruisings, the stat rolling and puzzle solving, you will undoubtedly feel accomplished.

    Visually it's 15 years old. No thanks. [July 2009, p.77]
