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. If you ever feel like you've run out of content (which is incredibly hard to do) you can always get the PC version and play the with hundreds of mods (or just Downfall, that's the best one by far)
Reviews for Slay the Spire
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 it's a great game and would recommend.
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, you can easily put it down and come back later, but if you're not careful, you can spend hours playing without realizing it. I highly recommend this game!
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 outside the borders to skip it or press back. Haven't had any issues with syncing or saving after that.
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 there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to stop this from happening.
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 the next character. Avoid.
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 cards, relics, potions, etc. wish there were more characters. Other than that, I've played this game for tons of hours. If it cost $30, I'd still buy it.
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 through cards is also very awkward, as there's only one method of input instead of the three or four a mouse offers. Fixing these issues will earn a 5 star from me.
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 issue. I reached out to support, and they said it is broken on some devices after Android 14, and there's no ETA on a fix. I take that as it might never be fixed, so fair warning out there.
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 in this game, almost through Act 3, and completely lost it because I had to text my ride who was ready to pick me up. I hope it gets fixed soon because I really don't want to loose another run like that.
