By far my favorite title in the "deckbuilding roguelike" genre, with an addictive gameplay loop that makes it really tempting to start a new run whenever you fail.

My only complaints, which are honestly quite minor, are that one of the classes (ironclad) is significantly easier to win with than the others, and some of the cards are very underpowered, to the point that they aren't really viable in any circumstance.

In any case, though, Slay the Spire is definitely worth a try, especially if you can snag it during one of its frequent price drops.
