Slay the Spire

Slay the Spire combines card games with roguelike runs. You choose a hero, start with a basic deck of strikes and defends, and climb three acts of a twisting spire, adding new cards and relics after every fight. If you die, you start again with a fresh run and new choices.

MegaCrit’s game left Early Access in 2019 and quickly inspired dozens of deckbuilders. It remains one of the highest rated games on Steam because its four characters, hundreds of cards and endless synergies make every climb different.

Slay The Spire Game Information

Slay The Spire Gameplay Overview

Each act is a branching map of normal fights, elite enemies, campfires, merchants, treasure and random events. Combat is turn based: you draw cards, spend energy to attack, block or apply effects, and read enemy intents to plan your turn. The Ironclad, Silent, Defect and Watcher each have their own card pool and mechanics, such as poison, orbs or stances. Ascension levels add stacking challenges after your first win.
