Start 'Slay the Spire' on Switch.
The start screen is displayed. Start the game with 'play'.
The first character you can choose is Iron Clad. Press 'Invasion Start' with the A button to start the dungeon challenge.
When the dungeon starts, a map of the dungeon will be displayed. The map has squares that encounter 'enemy' and squares that discover 'treasure boxes', and the basics of this game are that you move forward one square at a time while following a bifurcated or merged route. It is the way to go.
First, choose one from three starting points. The starting point is always the mass that encounters the enemy.
When it encounters an enemy, battle starts. You can see the basic flow of the battle by watching the following movie.
The battle is turn-based. First, when the player's turn starts, 5 cards are dealt randomly. These five cards are the action choices that the player can take on that turn.
One of the characteristics of this game is that the action taken by the enemy next turn is known in advance. For example, if the symbol of the sword and the number 12 are displayed above the head of the enemy character, it means that the next enemy's action is 'attack that deals 12 damage'. The basic tactic is to look at the other party's actions and choose from the cards what you want to do.
I decided to use a 'card that can get 12 blocks' because the opponent is giving an attack of 12 damage. In addition, the cost for using the card is set at the upper left of the card, and the cost of this card is '2'.
The effect of the card was triggered immediately, and the player was able to get '12 blocks'. With 12 blocks, you can prevent 12 damage, so your opponent is ready for his next move. In addition, the player energy displayed in the lower left has been reduced from 3 to 1 because a card with cost '2' was used.
There's still 1 energy left, so next time you do some damage, choose a '6 Deal' card.
Specify the attack destination ...
It will do damage. In this game, the player has limited means to recover from the damage, so it is the key to victory to damage the opponent while avoiding damage as much as possible.
If you use all the energy you can use, or if you finish your turn, it will be your enemy's turn.
The opponent had attacked, but because the block was solidified, it did not receive damage.
When the enemy's turn is over, it will be your turn again, so attack further ...
It is victory if the other party's physical strength becomes 0. In addition to the “gold” currency and “items” used mainly during battle to gain advantageous effects when you defeat the enemy ...
You can get a card.
You can get one card out of three. Thus, when you add a card to the 'card you can use (deck)', you can use that card from the next battle.
The way to build a deck is not just fighting against the enemy. On the map there is a square with a 'merchant'.
When you meet a 'merchant', you can buy cards in exchange for 'gold' like this. You can also discard unwanted cards by paying the merchant gold. It is necessary to carefully select cards to be added to the deck, as the method of discarding cards is basically the only way for merchants to delete them for a fee, except for loss at events.
Also, in a box with a 'treasure box' ...
There are times when you can get the treasure called 'Relic'.
'Relic' is an item that shows its effect throughout the dungeon.
As you progress through the squares while strengthening the deck or acquiring items, you will reach the squares the boss is waiting for.
The battle with the boss can be seen from the following movie:
When a boss deals damage, the player can also be repelled of the form of defense or ...
Although it was an enemy that turned into an attack form that repeated a powerful attack that would cause great damage if it did not block ...
It is defeated somehow.
If you defeat the boss, you can get more powerful relics than the ones you can pick up along the way.
If you defeat the boss, you will enter Chapter 2 where more powerful enemies will be hidden.
Since the fish enemy on the way is also strong, I defeated it. When the character dies, this dungeon capture ends here, and all of the reinforced decks and relics obtained will return to their initial state. However, the second time you can build a more powerful deck, as cards that could not be obtained until now are unlocked depending on your progress.
After the first challenge, the second character was unlocked. This character will be selectable from the next challenge.
The second character is a character called 'silent', which has many cards to be dealt when the battle starts and a wide choice of actions.
Another characteristic of this game is that the way the battle progresses slightly differs depending on the character you select, such as the character 'defect', which allows the battle to be favored with a unique effect 'element'.
Also, the game mode is not only 'Standard', which normally challenges the dungeon like this time, but also 'Daily Challenge', where the challenge to the dungeon starts under various conditions that change from day to day, and 'Custom' 'And so on.
◆ Summary
'Slay the Spire' is a roguelike card game where you get cards, build decks and fight monsters while traveling through randomly generated maps. There are different types of cards, but the effects are not as complicated. In addition, since you can always see the explanation by placing the cursor, it is possible to proceed with the game stress-free without having to “understand the effects of rules and cards”.
In addition, it is very refreshing when the action of the enemy and this action are well intertwined and sealed and sealed since the action of the enemy can be seen in advance. On the other hand, the cards dealt when the turn begins are random, so sometimes you can easily lose and you can get lucky. The elements of this card game like luck, and the roguelike elements that advance the random dungeon while strengthening the character are exquisitely combined, resulting in an addictive game that makes you want to challenge the dungeon again and again The
The Nintendo Switch version has a bug that 'if you defeat the boss, the game is terminated with high probability' has been confirmed, and this bug also occurred when the editorial staff played. It is saved when you beat the boss, so you can resume the game without any problems, but since it is a prerequisite game to challenge the boss many times, I would like to expect to resolve it early.
The Nintendo Switch version of 'Slay the Spire' is sold at Nintendo e-Shop, and it is also possible to purchase a PC version compatible with Japanese via Steam at a price of ¥ 2570 at the time of writing.
