Pretty good price, the lowest it's been is $7.49 but that seems like a once a year deal. I'd grab it at this price.

If you enjoy StS I'd recommend Dicey Dungeons (Switch) and Poker Quest (Steam) as well.
I'm so addicted to this game.
Best platform to play this game is you phone.. always at similar price on ios or android stores... Pros: Ease to play on phone, touch screen is better suited to play and off course you can play anywhere anytime

Quote from fvp1992 :
I bought dicey dungeons on a sale not expecting much but got hooked, they just released a free DLC.

Anymore recommendations of this genre for switch?
Monster Train is available on Switch/PC and it's amazing. It's basically a souped up version of Slay the Spire that utilizes a few new mechanics such as being able to put your monsters on three different floors while battling and the enemies have to go through each floor until they start doing damage to you. There's a lot of strategy around monster placement and other mechanics that takes the roguelike deck builder up a notch.

Anyone have a recommendation for the guy with orbs at level 19/20? AI doesn't cut it as the engine takes too long to build without the right low level cards. Or perhaps a smaller deck with that again but augmented by glaciers. Getting the echo card to duplicate first action midgame perhaps

Yeah, maxed out all other heroes, I'm hundreds of hours in. Just one more run

Quote from Hawaiiana :
Best came in this genre. Although I think the PC version is superior cause of the mods.
I can imagine mods being really nice for some QoL stuff, but I really enjoy playing this game with a gamepad. I can play really quickly and even play one-handed with my XBox controller. This is the kind of game for me where I can put my feet up and play.

I play Defect at A10 and win about half the time, going for the heart. I've cleared all characters at A20, but it's been a while. I'm assuming you're not trying to kill the heart, which makes the task a lot easier (but still hard).

I usually find that defensive decks get me farthest with defect. If you have a way to increase focus, put a lot of frost orbs in play and increase orb slots, then you're set. Using this as a base, there's lots of scaling strategies that will generate the damage output. The great thing about this strategy is that you're mostly looking for uncommon and common cards, which makes it a bit more consistent.

EDIT: After posting this I played ~10 games to beat A20 on Defect. A20 is unfairly difficult, which is why I find A10 to be a lot more fun. My winning run was a Snecko Eye run. Snecko Eye plus cards with high base cost (meteor strike FTW) is really powerful. I got the mummified hand, which synergizes especially because Defect is a power heavy character.

Slaying is what they want to teach you in the New World Order / Great Reset. They want to predictive program you so you become evil, and in the tribulation period you will be willing to chop the heads off all people for the antichrist system. Slay the spire will make you evil, and harken for the desolation of good and just human beings. And then they will take everyone who is alive to the Gulag.

That was the toughest one for me. Generally I like the 0 cost card builds. Cards like All for one, FTL, Claw, scrape can really put damage on enemies quickly so you aren't damaged too much.

Otherwise there is the turtle build which goes heavy on frost orbs but it can be kind of a slow start unless you have the right relics and cards. But if you have the right stuff it's probably the strongest build.

On the iOS version at least, I really wish they'd bump the framerate because it feels choppy/sluggish dragging cards compared to the PC version. And this is on the latest gen iPads.

Other than that, great game. Goes on sale for PC on Steam/GMG from time to time between $8-10.

This is my most-played Switch game by a wide margin. Own it on PC, mobile, and PS5. One of those games where it's really easy to not realize that it is suddenly 3AM.

It's pretty much the ONLY game I play on my Switch undocked, because the Switch's handheld ergonomics make more action/platformy-type games hurt my hands.
