I don't own this game, and it doesn't look like the type I would play, but I'm buying it to support the devs. It looks like they responded quickly to the breach and were fully open and transparent to the community.
EDIT: Bought the game before realizing it was a fan made expansion. No regrets, I'll give it a try. I looked for any type of donation option but didn't see one. But my point stands, please back developers who do the right thing. ππ»
This is a mod for Slay the Spire, not the game itself. You're still free to buy it, a lot of people enjoy it, but the mod devs won't get anything
I didn't think it would be the type of game I'd be into.
I've bought it on 3 systems and have probably over 500 hours.
It's crazy how it sucks people in. So many friends, including strict non-gamers have played slay the spire as their only game for years. They've really nailed the formula almost to perfection.
I've tried to get into other deck builder roguelikes and just. keep. Crawling back.
Same. I never enjoy deck builders both in physical board game and digital form yet Slay The Spire is in all my devices (across multiple different OSs). Itβs such a neat game that eases you into the decks far better than other games in the genre. It was rewarding discovering fun strategies for each hero.
I still do the daily challenges fairly often, since it's a fun way to play differently than I normally do. The other day I ran a reflex and concentrate deck on the silent with panache and holy cow was that powerful synergy. I never bothered with concentrate before.
Hah, I just started playing it and realized the mechanics are exactly like Rogue Adventure that I play on my phone. I will like this game. π
One of us! One of us!
This is a free fan extension to Slay the Spire. You can't buy it, and buying the base game won't support these devs.
It is a sweet game though. I play the Android version all the time.
Yes, I do feel the need to donate and buy products from people and companies who act morally correct. I also do the opposite and not buy products from companies who notify users months after the fact or act morally corrupt. Capitalism can work both ways, that's how boycotts work.
