I bought this game after realizing how Northernlion was misusing Endless Agony all the time because I wanted to try building a deck around it. I'm a fan of roguelikes, but turn-based tend not to be my thing, and I haven't really done any deck-building before, so I was naturally a bit on the fence for a while. I hopped the fence when I realized that I was actually paying attention to NL's Slay the Spire videos instead of using them as more of a company/background noise thing the way I do with Isaac videos when I'm playing games.

tl;dr: It's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good.

6/30/2022: Game still good, got better with time. Was good enough that I bought it again on Switch when it came out, which is where I primarily play it now due to ease of couch play.
