Critic Reviews
- Slay the Spire is the very definition of a game that's simple to learn and difficult to master. The core mechanics and gameplay are so easy that anyone can pick it up and have a relatively fun time, but learning how to survive takes time and effort. No matter the level, it remains engaging throughout by making every choice meaningful, and victory is decided by your skill and just a dash of RNG.
Chris "Atom" DeAngelus · May 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Slay the Spire is a long-awaited port of the legendary PC and Console roguelike deck-builder in which we ascend a mysterious Spire, using decks of cards to fight enemies along the way.
Alex Sem · Feb 26, 2021 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - To put it simply, if you liked Slay the Spire on consoles, there is nothing not to like about this release. Seriously, the game was meant to be played on a mobile device, without even hindering the console entries. They are equally enjoyable, depending on what you are looking for.
Victor Vellas · Feb 04, 2021 Reviewed on AndRead full review - It's still disappointing to fail before reaching the end, more often than not that failure can be traced back to a specific decision or series of decisions--be it an ill-advised card acquisition, the choice to upgrade a card rather than heal, or something else. You never know what the next layer of the spire will bring, but the next delightful quandary to tackle is always right around the corner.
Chris Pereira · Jul 09, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - If you only have one device and don’t mind some small touch targets for the interface, Slay the Spire will easily be one of the best games you play on your iOS device. Once these issues get addressed, I can see Slay the Spire becoming one of my most played games on iOS after it has already been on that list on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in recent months.
Mikhail Madnani · Jun 15, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Slay the Spire is such a good game that even a poor port can't put me off of it. I'm not sure I've played a card game that allows for so much improvisation while still feeling challenging and rewarding. Hopefully, it will become a better experience over time with some key updates, but--even in its current form--I plan to happily put many, many more hours into it.
Campbell Bird · Jun 15, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - If there’s one area where the game does stumble a little, it’s in the visual design. Simplistic in its approach some of the game’s enemies come off a little uninspired. While far from terrible it’s a mediocre blemish in an otherwise fantastically polished game.
Ryan Janes · Jul 11, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Slay the Spire is a nearly endlessly replayable Indie delight from Mega Crit. It came out on the PC and PS4 already, but Switch owners owe it to themselves to pick this one up as it's nice to have a such a stellar and casually playable game on the go. Some of the best strategic RPG fights in the industry, with a steep difficulty curve, means you'll be trying to best this game for weeks or months before you tire of it.
William Murphy · Jun 06, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Slay the Spire cleverly mixes the roguelite and card game genres, bringing with it a deep and satisfying strategy layer that encourages you to experiment over the course of a multitude of runs to the top of the tower. I can only hope that it continues to see regular updates, because it's already one of my favorite games of 2019.
Kat Bailey · Jun 05, 2019 Reviewed on Switch - With the growing library of roguelikes and card-based strategy games accumulating in the eShop, new entrants continuously need to find new ways to stand out from the crowd. Slay the Spire succeeds in this regard by foregoing a traditional story or narrative and allowing the player to become completely immersed in strategic thinking. It may not be the prettiest or flashiest roguelike out there, but it certainly has my attention.
