Slay the spire, but with a spaceship and crew, with movement around the playspace. The game plays very close to Slay’s mechanics in a lot of ways. However, the movement aspect in combat that adds another element to think about in regards to ship size, dodging, armor, and weapon placement. Moving past the more basic ships in the full version adds ship-specific mechanics that allow you to really change up the runs.

Storywise it starts off a bit slow, even repetitive with a lot of events, but as you progress through more and more time loops, it opens up. It’s not quite a “after 12 hours, it gets real good” sort of wait either.

This was an easy wishlist for me back in October and a quick buy when it released. My wife made me set up steam library sharing so she could give it a try when I wasn’t playing as a fairly big StS fan.

Steam 19.99usd.
