SLAY THE SPIRE
Fantasy and deck-building games go together like Magic The Gathering and financialis so wonderful. It doesn’t make sense at first. It’s bacon bits in your banana milkshake. But the elements here are blended to perfection, which makes nailing absurd and unlikely card combos satisfying in a way that the physical equivalent so rarely is. And, best of all, those stacked attacks won’t make a human player swipe their cards off the table in petulant rage. The game’s roguelike elements mean that every massively-OP combo also feels like just reward for the horrors you’ve experienced. Look upon my orbs and tremble, AI nemeses.
