Early access review Super game, for those who know slay the Spire do not hesitate it is well worth its very affordable price. Many compare it to StS while in the end apart from the basic mechanics that remains exploration of Dungeon, loot of cards, fight via maps it still offers a lot of new design choices and rather clever:-our lives are our cards , Each time our draw pile consumes small a small (depending on the damage suffered) by going into the discard. So the deck building is different, unlike STS we will prefer big decks. The care cards are so-a lot of tutors to help our deck to comboter the or STS proposed a slightly more random approach. But since our deck is big this is welcome.
-Choice of cards at the end of a different fight: batch of 6 cards divided into 3 common cards, 2 rare cards, 1 map epic. If one of the common cards is chosen we receive them in 3 copies, a rare card 2 exemplary epic 1 copy.
-Talent cards: various effects in your deck that act like the relics of STS, they are played at each start of battle automatically and one effects style + 1 def all the x cards played, recover x POS when you kill an enemy, + 1 or-1 at the cost of a card , etc etc. Nice side some enemies can take you away for the duration of the fight!
-Description of enemies: most enemies have a small kisscool effect in addition to their attacks for example first chapter you will meet a kind of vampire and his description says "I'm actually a swarm of bats" the first time I fought it I did not pay attention and suddenly I have a little sweated on the fight when I killed him to discover that he turned into another monster (a swarm of bats).
-death is never far: in the sense of the figuratively, following the character you take (currently 2 out of challenge) when you enter in combat you have a "timer" that tells you in 3 rounds (for the character e base) or 2 rounds (bloodmage) death APPA would, no panic it is an enemy as an ally, it will just make an AOE every turn that make damage to everyone (except herself) on the ground, you will use it often enough to kill monsters a little too beefy , but sometimes it will kill you at the same time....-deck building: the I am a little more skeptical, but not in the wrong sense of the word. Big possibility but until now I have galled on all my parts, the choice of card is never obvious and many cards often seem useless (whereas in the end they will help you well) the 2 characters have access to the same pool of cards but yet will avoid having the same deck, for example with the basic character it is extremely difficult to play the cards finishing move which requires to have more than this card in the hand, while with the bloodmage it is very easy to activate them, same with the deck curses (which are very powerful in passing if one has the right cards) CASI impossible with bloodmage while with the black blood one can draw a lot of combo.
Here is my appreciation of the game, I recommend it because I like it very much (I always prefer slay the Spire, but with the Maj we will see a long term) and it is a small price!
