I've been playing Slay the Spire all weekend and Monday morning and figured other imps are into these kinds of games. I'm also playing Inscryption but only at night time for vibes. Got my first clears on each of the base three characters in Spire this morning. I think I got lucky with obvious/easy builds for the Ironclad and The Silent early on and cleared them after a try or two, but died something like 16 times in a row as The defect often in area one or two after reading the final boss first time. Finally got my first win this morning with a nice Darkness build going against the time slug, thankfully I got the donut brothers when I did a shiv run as The Silent. Looking forward to trying out the DLC character next and then trying to unlock everyone's cards before the first levels of ascended.

There's a cool Slay the Spire mod called Downfall that makes each act 1 and 2 boss a playable character and has you do a reverse climb and beat up the main characters at the end. Some of the decks are definitely way better than others but if you've conquered most of StS at the point it's great to check out.

Yeah it kind of throws a bunch of poo poo at the wall to see what sticks but the lack of restraint makes it cool. The boss fights against the main characters are really cool, i loved how they actually play cards against you

StS only gets better as you climb ascensions imo. I picked it up on PC to try downfall I'll stream it one of these days. Right now I'm playing Monster Train and working on 100% completion. It's definitely a worse game than Spire overall but I can't put it down.

This one is a little different but Backpack Hero released into EA today. There's an extensive demo I spent several hours on, it's a similar roguelike thing but instead of a deck of cards you're arranging items in a backpack. It's like a Resident Evil 4 suitcase inventory management roguelike. There's a bunch of little gimmicks to consider like magical items need to be connected to each other by "conduits" to power up, helmets give better armor bonuses when they're on the top row of your inventory and boots when they're on the bottom, stuff like that. It's sweet

slay the spire ftw. dicey dungeons isnt rly a deck builder but it's similar enough to slay the spire, snappy life-or-death turn based fighting, always gambling on each move. good game

Watcher is so cool, especially since it was just a surprise drop out of nowhere after the game had been out of early access for over a year. I've bought StS on 3 different platforms and it still has served me with one of the best $/hr ratios of any gaming purchase lol

Watcher is so strong you just need to not gently caress up ever. She can pretty much beat act 1 with just her starter deck so you have leeway to fish for an infinite combo or some other busted strat

I really like the Defect because when he goes off he's unstoppable, but he's hard to get a handle on, since his 'archetypes' don't mesh well into each other, and his strategy changes a lot as you go through ascensions.

Yeah there's fun stuff like Claw that becomes unviable at high ascension so you just end up going for a million frost orbs most of the time.

Griftlands is a mostly bad STS knockoff but the last character you unlock (Smith) is extremely fun and one of the better examples of rpg mechanics representing a character I’ve ever played, basically the closest thing we have to an Archer video game rn. Runs are like 2-3 hours long tho and it really sucks to die on a final boss On spire I’m on ascensions 16/16/15/8, I mostly play stoned and the watcher demands precision. I don’t like how samey all of her decks feel, she has a lot of really good commons and a lot of situational rares. In Switch but this downfall mod has me thinking about a double dip, is there a list of characters somewhere?

Yea, like silent can pick up Envenom and it'll work well in both poison and shiv, but there's no crossover if you're doing a Thunder heavy build and you want to transition a bit into claw/scrape, you have to do some really hard reads on what exactly you're playing very early.
