What Guy is best to learn how to beat the Spire? Been using the first one mainly and tried the dagger guy a little bit. Still getting owned so bad I need to lie down after a while.

Ironclad is easy if you can get a seed with good block cards and early barricade, otherwise I'd say shadow is easier with better block and deck control mechanics

If I had to guess you're A) adding too many cards to your deck B) not prioritizing the removal of your inferior starter cards when possible, and C) playing too defensively. Defense focused builds need a lot of luck to work and are rarely worth the trouble, especially on base difficulty where you heal to full after each floor. Think of your health as a resource rather than something you need to protect at all costs.

Well fuck, it finally happened! Beat it with Ironclad.

The Demon card that buff STR really helped and got lots of artifacts.

haha. slay the spire has its own thread! and the indie game thread.

also funny we are just repeated the same conversation from last oct, in this thread.
I was about to post this almost word for word, before I looked back and saw already said this..

yeah, slay the spire has ups and downs in difficulty. I'm not 100% certain its current balance.

but, last I played. it was beatable at first. However, actually got harder with your first few unlocks. as RNG goes up, and its harder to make a coherent build. new items, but not new builds.
as you keep going though, the RNG get bigger... but, you also then get more good then bad cards/relics. and can pick and choose. and those new cards/relics are actually forming new builds, for more options.

much of it is player skill then too. the rng goes up, but you know what to look for and how to pick good cards, and not take too many, etc.

ironclad is probably the easiest to win with at the very start. takes the least game knowledge.

Went and bought one of those bundle things with Brotato and Death Must Die. My first impressions were that Brotato is way more fun, but I keep coming back to Death Must Die. It seems to have much better replayability with the talents and Diablo-esque gearing.

About 8 hours in and I just beat Act 2, and I've done Act 1 up to 10 difficulty.

Interesting. Will def keep an eye on it - Soulstone Survivors had the best "hook" for me to keep grinding, I have more hours in this than any other of the genre in my library. And I haven't gone back to check out any new content released.

The latest dwarf engineer guy in soulstone is pretty fun. Still haven't unlocked the monkey king guy. Full curse 5 is still pretty rough.

Picked this one up a week or so ago and finally tried it last night. Not bad. Nothing horribly innovative, but not bad, and the graphics are at least different. No auto-aim that I saw, and also no tutorial or anything, but we all know how to play these by now. Not entirely sure how to tell when my special power has restored though, aside from an audible chime that I'm pretty sure is it. There has to be a counter or display somewhere but I keep forgetting to look after I use it.

It seems to play well and everything is smooth. Typical meta-upgrades, good or bad synergies can make or break runs as usual, gets easier as you invest more points in the tree, all the standard shit. Well done for what it is, so if you want another one that is pretty much exactly like everything else, I don't think you'll complain. If you want new shit, maybe not so much.

Got back into Yet Another Zombie Survivors again for some reason. Even when there's been a shit ton of new Vampire Survivors content out and a bunch of other games. Can't explain why.

Yeah, enjoying this quite a bit. I'll have to revisit deeprock, haven't played it much since the week or two after launch.

Tried this out today for 20 minutes, pretty fun. Need to learn more about the synergies but beat the 1st stage on the 2nd try with the auto fireball super weapon and the AoE splash one. Stuff was just melting.

Bought Maniac for like $3. It's like a GTA1 top down survivors version of that old postal game. It's interesting but so far very mid for two reasons: the controls and camera combine to make it awkward to control and navigate, and the money your kills drop only spawns after, so that if you're driving any car, by time you kill anyone you are too far away to pick it up by time it's interactive. Number 2 really kills this for me right now. It's not fun to do 3 point turns in a fire engine all game just to collect $50 bills from babies you just ran over.

This is pretty decent so far (just a demo out). However, it doesn't really seem to have anything new. Just higher def graphics and Norse theme.
