New Gameplay Today – Slay The Spire
Megacrit's roguelike deck-building game Slay the Spire has been in Steam Early Access for a while now, but today it's officially out. Before its release, it built up its own devoted following, which includes our own Dan Tack and Leo Vader. The pair share why it's so great in this episode of NGT.
Slay the Spire gets right to the action, with very little in the way of story setup. That's for the best, as it turns out. There's a spire! Get in there and... slay it. That's about all you need to know. Your motivations may be simple, but the gameplay isn't. There are loads of cards to unlock and add to the pool, and players are encouraged to come up with their own weird and unique builds – while remaining flexible to the whims of the RNG gods.
In addition to today's PC release, the game is coming to Switch later this year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
