Slay the Spire, a Game I Love To Hate

Let me get this out of the way first, I’ve loved my time with this game. It has been fantastic. Just the ease of getting into it. Start the game, pick one of the characters then away you go. Play them in order to unlock the next, except the last one which you need to unlock the first three and complete a run.

Trailer for your enjoyment

I have come to the conclusion in my 30-plus hours with this game, I will never unlock this last character. I have made it to the final boss with the first three, more than once, Then I just get my ass handed to me. Stacks of 30 poison are laughed off as if they are nothing, walls of staggering levels of blocking that would seem impossible to break fall as if they were nothing. I have read guides, I have watched videos and I still can not seem to get through it.

Now I know what you are thinking, Dark Souls is not for me, and you would be wrong. I have gone through them all and loved them. ( except 2, nobody likes Dark Souls 2. Don’t be a liar and say you do.) Slay the Spire had been its own personal kind of hell for me, and I love it even more because of it. From every card combination that fails or works, this is one roguelike I can’t stop playing for some reason.

This guy can really go fuck himself

Moonshine Inc. gets two major expansions in Februaryand console adaptations are now in the works.


The major gameplay enhancements are planned for February 2nd and February 23rd when Klabater is expecting to release patches with completely new Police Quests and the most anticipated Sandbox Mode.


Police Quests and Sandbox Mode – teaser descriptions

The Police Quests will be a special type of Side Quest which will serve the purpose of reducing the Global Alert Level and Stash Alert Level. They will vary from the Side Quests by their spawn points and spawn conditions and will be given by the Sheriff. An example of one quest could be getting a call from your godmother who is hosting the Sheriff at her place – in your name she negotiated turning his eye blind on you in return for his favorite rare likker.

The Sandbox Mode will give the players freedom of exploration and production. It will remove Main Missions and allow players to modify their gameplay. The technologies, side quests, police quests, and events will not be region locked anymore. In the inventory and the Fast Apparatus Placement windows, players will have the ability to discard unwanted batches and apparatuses. All the maps will be fully accessible to the player at all times. Depending on the base chosen to start with, all deliveries will start from there. All stashes will be open from the get-go.



Additionally, the Sandbox will give options effects. The player will be able to unlock most of the game features: the highest level of the buildings (Headquarters, Garage, Workshop), instant deliveries, all technologies, unlimited money, instant craft, fermentation, and distillation, or speed multiplier for crafting, and finally, deactivation of all Alert Levels and Game Over.

Console version is in the works but has no release date, but they are hoping by the end of 2023.
