Even if you do not like card games like Hearthstone or rougelikes, this game could still be for you, like it is for me, since I'm not a fan of both.
   
   Cons: There are some fps drops on animations, no way to sync progress with iOS version.… Expand

   Slay the spire is a refreshing turn based card game where you play as one of three different starting characters and "fight" your way throughSlay the spire is a refreshing turn based card game where you play as one of three different starting characters and "fight" your way through multiple areas. Each area consists of multiple paths you can follow that have individual events attached such as: enemy encounters, resting places, random encounters etc.
   
   In the course of your play you gain more cards that assist in your fighting, but you have to be careful not to get and accept every card or your deck will be less powerful and full of trash. The more you play the more you will learn about strats you can use with your cards and try out new ones. Special elite fights grant relics that are random and give you specific benefits such as healing, armor or more card power at the beginning of your turn. Cards can also be upgraded to enhance the individual strengths even more. Each battle swaps between you and the enemy choosing cards as long as you have enough points to use them. Some cards can be chained for powerful combos, some are one time usage and will be discarded until the next fight.
   
   At the end of each area you encounter and fight a boss. If you succeed you can choose a reward, will be healed and proceed onto the next stage. Between bosses you can only heal by resting on rare occasions or by using scarce potions which make decisions more and more difficult. Will you deal dmg and receive dmg? Or will you play defensive, draw out the battle and get possibly struck by a buffed enemy later on. The monsters have individual attack sets. Some are good in def, some do huge attacks but are fragile, some of them have minions that can be re-summoned, some swap between agressive and defensive rounds etc.
   
   There are different game modes, such as daily challenges or endless stages.
   
   After all Slay the Spire was already highly successful on PC and I m glad that I m finally able to play it now on my PS4 Pro. The game is not too fancy but the gameplay is very solid and highly addicting. The artstyle is cartoon-ish and well made. Testing each character, unlocking new cards and fiddling around with card sets is really entertaining.
   
   The price tag of 25 is kind of okay. I would suggest to buy it at around 15-20 because the game itself is fun but limited and gets repetitive at a certain point. It is still one of the best turn based strategic card games that I ve played in a long time. This is why it (in my opinion) deservers a rating around 8 to 9.… Expand

   It is a fine game if you like card games. I enjoyed playing it for a while, but there isn't too much content. It becomes repetative soon.

I can prove it to you. At the start of a battle remember your cards. Force quit the game and reload it. The next draw will always be the same which could never occur if the cards were drawn randomly. So unfortunately its all fake!
   
   I expect a card game to be random. By that I mean that cards should be drawn randomly. Not in this game, you either get cards drawn preselected by the developers or their random card drawer is extremely bad implemented. I had a deck of 50 cards and one of the cards I had five times in the deck. Next draw I get 4 of those 5 cards onto my hand! Do you know how low the odds are for that to happen?! And this did not happen only once, it happens all the time. After this the game became unplayable for me.… Expand
