With over 1.5 million units sold on PC, card battler/rogue-lite RPG Slay the Spire from Mega Crit Games is coming to PS4. A new announcement trailer confirmed as much, with pre-orders opening up and providing an exclusive discount along with an avatar set. Slay the Spire releases on May 21st for the console.
If you haven’t followed the game throughout its early access period or following its release on Steam, Slay the Spire is essentially a rogue-lite. You navigate through different floors on a tower, each containing enemies, treasures, items, and artifacts. The core difference is that all attacks, abilities, defense, and whatnot are also done through a deck of cards.
You use a different hand of cards for each turn in a battle and can pick up other cards throughout a certain run. Three classes are available to choose, each with their own unique cards, synergies, and traits. Slay the Spire is also in development for the Nintendo Switch, but no release date has been confirmed yet. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
