I wanted to try a new type of post: just taking a particular videogame and see if there are others who would like to talk about it.

To start I'm taking Slay The Spire. A beautifully balanced game with infinite replayability. What are your favorite classes? What is your favorite way to win the game? What is the highest ascension you've beaten? Are there similar games you enjoy? Let's go!

I suck at the game, so winning isn't an option for me. But I really like either going poison or daggers for the skull wearing guy. I haven't even bothered with ascension as I'm still trying to do the keys thing while beating a run with a single character.

I'd say the closest I've played to Slay the Spire's "pick a path" style deck builder would be Peglin and One More Gate. Peglin is definitely a lot closer to Slay the Spire as you start off a blank slate every run (minus custom mode), whereas One More Gate is, so far, you do a run, come back to the hub area, buy/sell cards/upgrades, do another run to get slightly further.

Pretty much the only other deck builders I have are ones where you don't get to choose where you go next and go from battle to battle without any path choices or chance based event areas (Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate and Ardor).
