The player can play any combination of cards as long as they have the energy to pay for the energy cost of each card, and at the end of the turn, cards not played are sent to a discard pile.

Each turn the player receives a fresh hand of cards and some energy points. The game is divided in three Acts (plus a bonus one), each having its own set of enemies.Ĭombat is played in turns.

Encounters include monsters which vary in strength and let you choose a card from three as a reward, Elite enemies which offer enhanced rewards and a relic, campfires to heal or upgrade cards to more powerful versions, shopkeepers to buy cards, relics and potions as well as to remove cards from the deck, chests with random loot and random choice-based encounters. The goal is to work through several levels, each level having a number of potential encounters distributed in a branching structure with a boss character at the end of the level. At the start of a playthrough the player selects one of four predetermined characters, which sets a starting amount of health, gold, a starting relic that provides a unique ability for that character, and an initial deck of cards with basic attack and defense cards as well what potential color-coded cards tailored to that character.

Slay the Spire is a combination of roguelike-inspired progression and the gameplay of a deck-building card game. If you already know the game you may skip this part.
