I am impressed. One of the most thorough reviews of a game I have seen, and yet the play time was just under 2 hours! Love this idea and can't wait to see more of this!

All that blocking against the Nob hurt my soul to watch.

How to recognize a new StS player: they see Anger and think - awesome, free damage, no downside! What could go wrong? :D Great review!

It's cool to see someone getting into Slay the Spire as we are getting closer and closer to the early access release of Slay the Spire 2. It's a really cool game. As for the power cards they are basically like permanent skill cards. You play them once and then get their effects for the rest of combat. Honestly reaching Act 2 within two hours is pretty impressive. I remember struggling a bunch when I first played the game.

Slay the Spire has quite a bit more progression for you to discover, enjoy!!!

For the curious, the Spirit Poop given to you by the fire spirits has a very negligible effect. It lowers your score by 1. Your score on a winning run is in multiple hundreds, maybe a couple thousands.

Love seeing a fresh review from someone of this game. Slay the Spire birthed a genre, one I adore, so it’s great seeing an ‘outsider’s’ take as it were. Good luck in your slaying. P.S. you can hover over the text buttons in dialog to see what you’re getting usually.

This has got to be one of the best games for replayability value. The acension mode keeps you coming back for more. I've just finished all 4 charcters on ascension 20, just reset my save to do it all again!

Awesome and great video definitely earned a subscriber. One significant distinction between rogue likes and roguelites. Rogue like games are more unique since every run of the game you do your progress doesn't carry over once you die in a run it's over(permadeath) your loot and items are gone. Roguelites on the other hand do the same format except they usually have some sort of progression system that makes you stronger and gives you certain bonuses and dying is part of the game and progression. Rogue likes are much harder since they rely on you getting better at the game and understanding it, learning the mechanics which makes the experience more rewarding. Roguelites are more forgiving in general since as you get better at the game the game also helps you through the progression system. Rogue like examples such as Slay the spire, nuclear throne, risk of rain 2. Roguelites examples Hades.

Love the video, I look forward to seeing more of this :D Super cool to see an initial impressions where you really tried to understand and breakdown what you knew about the game from an initial impression. It really brings to light pitfalls like gremlin nob's strength gain being permanent so that first block you played was actually -3 after 4 turns and not even 3 blocks worth XD

This is one of my favourite games of all time. I dislike roguelikes and card games, and yet this game has me hooked enough to have sunk well over 600 hours into it! Glad you enjoyed it, stay awesome bro! :D

As a first timer to the channel, I respect your want to review this even though this is 1. a roguelike and 2. not story-driven like hades. Good video, i think the editing is nice and WHAT THE HELL 37 SUBSCRIBERS?

Hey this is a great review! StS is an incredible game, and has a sequal coming out in 2025! but dont let that disuade you from playing this one. once you start the ascension climb you'll only keep coming back despite the game only getting harder and harder. Btw you definitely deserve more subs. this is a really cool idea for a series!

I love Slay the Spire so much, the replay value is great. Even if you have 200 hours in, there's a good chance you still haven't made it that far (looking at you, self. Although maybe I'm just bad). And if you did get to that point, there are some awesome mods that add more content or just plain fun.

You thought StS was good, on steam theres a fanbase mod expansion Slay the spire downfall. Its sooooo much more content to enjoy! Subbed and looking forward to seeing you play more :-D

lol 124 likes and 124 subscribers. Very well made video! Please don't block that much against gremlin Nob though!

Woah, nice! Might pick this one up sometime. Great job on the video!

Heeeeey I really like this style! I hope you keep it up in the future. Slay the Spire is my favorite current roguelike at this point. It's just... so good. Looking forward to the sequel!

It is so much of a drug I got the board game on Kickstarter

Hey, just wanted to let you know there is permanent progression, the more you play the more cards and items you unlock and if you do certain objectives there’s a whole another part of the game.

Do It for dicey dungeon. I played it once and the first few hours was great. I beat the game and realized it was just the beginning, there are many characters to unluck and each char has a quirk to make it stronger and a quirk to make it harder to play

Additionally free mods for the game let you play as the bosses adding EVEN MORE content to an already highly replayable game

Branching out I see. Pretty good

I wonder what such a review for Slice and Dice 3.0 would be, now that it can be bough on Steam

Great video! subscribed and waiting for more!

Congrats on hitting the algorithm perfectly

at 1:17 the strike before the bash hurt my soul. I just care to much about maximizing my damage :( play this game too much

This is a fantastic concept mate!

Subscribed.

Awesome video. I’ve never seen your channel but this is one of my favorite games, you’ve definitely received a subscription from me. Game progression Spoiler warning There is a small amount of permanent progression in the characters levels and unlocks, they do not make you stronger inherently but they add new relics and cards to build your deck with

it's pretty good yeah

🔥

Yes it is worth it

"Hell yes" or instablock the channel, lolol

Not when Monster Train exists, which it does
