This is the best deck-builder out there, and the mobile version is just about as perfect as the PC version. This is also one of the best Rouge-likes out there. It’s one of the first times I liked the game enough to try and beat the higher difficulties (Ascensions) you can unlock with each character. […]

Love the game so much, only some problems with moble, I beat the game with Ironclad, Silent, and Defect but the option to Recall hasn’t appeared. I thought i only had to win as those 3 to actually fight the Heart. (At least that’s how it is on the Xbox version). But other then that […]

Slay the spire is a dangerous mobile game because it’s easy to pick up but incredibly deficit to put down. Once you understand how the deck building machines and gamplay work, it becomes highly addictive. Jumping into a run is quick, easy, and fun. It’s easy to save your progress, so if something comes up, […]

Controls could be better. For those of you who are having syncing data issues, open up your Play Games app. Go to settings, then Delete Play Games account & data, find Slay the Spire and delete it. When you launch the game and it prompts you to log in to your Google account just click […]

Enjoyable Game, but my save has reverted to a previous (very old) save a couple of times now, losing a lot of hard won achievements and progress. The last time this happened, after a day or two, it was suddenly back to the more recent save but there’s no way to force export/upload/download data, so […]

The game itself is wonderful. I’ve put many hours into it on both Switch and PC. The mobile implementation is… bad. Out of 4 runs, I’ve lost two of them because, when I beat the final boss, the game freezes, crashes, then retains no knowledge that I ever did such a run, let alone unlocked […]

I don’t post reviews much, but I’ll do one for this game. It’s amazing. If you’re into turn based, strategy card games, this is it. Absolutely ZERO ads. No pay to win. 100% strategy…and luck (it is a card game). The replayability is endless. The build possibilities are vast since you can choose so many […]

Slay the Spire is very good, and this is a faithful port. A little too faithful in my opinion, as it hasn’t been adjusted for mobile devices. Almost everything, especially text, is too small. On a normal computer screen it’s fine, but phones are smaller. And there is no option to make it bigger. Looking […]

The game itself is really fun. The art style is interesting, the gameplay is surprisingly crisp, considering the type of game it is. It’s a great way to pass a plane ride. My issue, however, is that cloud saves are broken in such a way that you can’t transfer saves across devices. That’s a huge […]

I enjoy this game and usually play it while my partner is playing on her playstation. It’s fun, challenging, and exciting. HOWEVER! There is a bug problem with when the game gets closed. I’m not the first to say it, and I’m hoping that it’ll get addressed. I lost probably the best run I’ve had […]

Like the game a lot, it feels well balanced in terms of difficulty and diversity in play style. The UI is very quirky and unintuitive in ways that can completely kill your run. Deselecting cards is so frustratingly difficult. Screens behave inconsistently; you’ll expect a confirmation when selecting options on some screens, but NOPE it […]

Great game with a sub-par UI. Attempting to deselect cards in hand leads to accidental usage of that card. I don’t want drag to use and tap to use at the same time. let me have a setting to pick one. The hitbox to pick cards is inconsistent and I select the wrong card all […]

it’s a fun game, various strategies, lots of avenues to explore. I expect to spend plenty more time playing. I have two suggestions: 1) if it syncs w Google Play, it should sync across devices. I played a lot on my phone but it’s annoying so wanted to use a tablet. 2) controls are lacking, […]

EDIT: My original review was a 1 star because it was a broken port. It is now fixed, and port is as good as can be reasonably expected on mobile. As to the game itself. Super easy to learn, unbelievable strategic depth (it looks pretty luck based at first, but as you develop better strategy, […]

Modern classic card game. All the characters feel unique, and have multiple viable build types. Unlocks, challenges, and general RNG add a ton of replayability. Difficulty can be pretty brutal before you learn the mechanics and unlock things so read what everything does. Every item, status, buff/debuff or enemy action has a description letting you […]

!!! Be Careful !!! There isn’t a successful way to transfer your data. Thankfully I wasn’t too far, but in game or outside the game, there isn’t options to save, sync, or transfer. I enjoy this game a lot, but this kills it for me. I can imagine myself already getting another phone and it […]

I honestly love this game on other platforms, but this port needs work. The previous graphical bug has been fixed, but there are still other bugs that do need ironing out, for example crashes that cause you to lose progress, freezing when the game saves, runs still active despite finishing the run, and others. Edit: […]

I recently started playing and love this game. Incredible time sink and very clever (and difficult) game. The touch controls, however, are absolutely abysmal, and the only reason I deducted 2 stars. You’ll absolutely and repeatedly play cards you don’t intend to while just trying to read them, and that’s a massive handicap in a […]

The game itself is amazing, but there are just a couple small things related to it being a mobile port that keep it from being perfect. Primarily, hand interactions, like deselecting held cards, can be annoyingly janky. Due to this jank, it is also possible (and plausible, as it’s happened to me) to accidentally play […]

I’ll be honest, the only kinda buggy things I have ever experienced with the mobile port are, 1. A known bug: After you unlock all the relics and cards for all characters, the game will still think you haven’t so you have to make a new save file and then go back to your original […]
