or should i buy some other game?

im bored and sad. ive been nostalgically playing JoJo's All Star Battle which is nice but i fucking hate fighting games and its a miracle if i beat the computer on the easiest difficulty

i dont like the look of slay the spire but i want something mindless and satisfying, maybe with no real ending in sight

If you enjoyed the roguelike card game aspect of enscryption yes, slay the spire is great.

i enjoyed it a lot more than the story, but i liked the story twists

it made me feel like yami yugi when i turned a sure defeat into a OHKO combo wombo turn

Was one of the best games of last gen imo. Would definitely recommend at least giving it a shot.

It's super fun. Each character is distinctly different too, which is cool.

They announced a sequel for 2025.

It's the Super Mario Bros of Roguelike deck builders. Even if you hate the genre, you'll love it.

It's great but it was way too difficult for me, I enjoyed Roguebook more since it felt more forgiving, was easier to end up really powerful by the end, and the amount of freedom they gave you to move around the map was a lot of fun. Felt the same way about Inscryption which I just played, great game but man it's hard once you get to Kaycee's mod.

Yeah. It's got 21 cascading difficulty levels. I've played for 80 hours and gotten through two of them with every character, and a third with the Silent.

But to be fair, I'm determined not to get too far ahead with one character. It's possible (and statistically likely) that I could get much farther with the Silent than the other three.

I loved Inscryption but StS hasn't done much for me, although I haven't done that many runs tbf. If you like deck building roguelikes I would recommend Dicey Dungeon and Balatro.

I'm pretty sure I've put more time into StS than any other game over the past several years, and I don't think anything else comes close. It's an excellent game, although it can get very frustrating at times

How is StS not ugly? Looks like a 2000s flash game imo.

I couldn't get around the art style of Spire, but that didn't stop me from putting 20-30 hours into it and completing (pre-heart) runs of 2/3 characters. The combat is engaging and fun, as are the cards. I just happened to like Inscryption... a lot more.

Act 1 of Inscryption with the actual card game has a mode called Kaycee's (sp) that makes it last forever, have more procedural elements and mixed up cards/enemies and some cool map events, btw.

There's no real story in StS. You're Fighting an unknowable enemy for no reason and things are just in the way.

I guess what I was trying to say is if you liked the story aspect of Enscryption you should play Chrono Ark instead.

Avoid reading anything about it. Just go in blind.

I have 1300 hours in it. Safe to say I enjoy it.

Easy to learn, very hard to master. Lots of different build possibilities, even at ascension 20.

Yes you can beat the game with almost any build.

But some builds are definitely better than others.

Definitely buy Slay the Spire and if youre buying it on PC you also need to download the Downfall mod that gives you new cards, relics, adds a 5th character as well as the ability to defend the Spire by playing as the bosses and certain elites.

The best builds are ones where your cards and relics have synergy. Build around what you have and the next challenges that you know are coming up. Don't get a specific build in mind at the start.

It is considered a bonus boss. If I recall, the game considers it a "win" if you beat the regular bosses but lose to The Heart.
