Slay the Spire 12+

Were the controls fixed this would be 5 stars.
(Previously has troubles with crashes but first update fixed this).

My “review” is basically just my gripes as thousands of other players have sung this game’s praises far better than I ever could.
Well-paced, satisfying and balanced gameplay that is never unfair (even if it mightn’t feel that way at first).
Nothing is lost to the move to iOS, game performs amazingly well and looks great.
A few small changes away from being the definitive edition.

So if you’ve played with touch controls on Switch, nothing has changed, they are still bad.
Not quite unplayable, but doesn’t feel remotely good.
Even using an Apple Pencil, it’s often very difficult to select the card you want from a large hand. More annoyingly though is trying to deselect a card; you need to drag it back to hand, but drag it too little and it will be played, drag it too far and your finger leaves the touch surface AND the card will stay selected.

Finally, progress does not track between devices, which is honestly just lazy in this day and age (devs announced this is coming).
StS is an Indie darling with tears of strong sales on the market, I should be left wanting on a feature that’s available on a dozen different competitors that cost a fraction of the price.

When I first saw slay the spire all I could think about was that it needed to be a mobile game.
The entire UI works excellently on IPad, however there is definitely some weird crashing problems. When I try to do the daily climb it always crashes before I can even press begin. There has been app drop outs even in the normal mode as well sometimes on the home menu screen. But I’m sure those things will be patched out soon. When they are I’ll gladly give this 5 stars, I’d give it more if I could ive waited for this to be on iPad since it’s pc release so I’m pretty happy already.

Let us know when the patches are planned to be rolled out!

This game fits the mobile platform incredibly well even if some aspects of the port from the original PC version isn’t perfect.

The games premise is simple and easy to pick up with a huge amount of depth and replayability. The card game basis for the game means that you can easily stop and start a session as you do things throughout the day, lending itself to mobile gaming incredibly well. The random nature of each run, unlockables, four different playable characters and the lore behind the game make this something you can keep coming back to and not easily get bored of.

Although I agree with other reviewers that the port could be better, there is nothing gamebreaking and at most it is a minor inconvenience. Other reviewers have also complained about performance issues however I am running this on an iPhone 6 and it runs smoother than some native applications, so I would take those complaints with a grain of salt.

Overall, if you are a fan of the PC version or enjoy card games and have yet to pick this up, I could not recommend this game more.
