TF you mean it's gonna be March in two weeks???
Finally almost 1/3 through this year
Almost 1/6 though the year, actually.
Don't fuck this up, dont fuck this up, DONT FUCK THIS UP!
Im counting on them fucking it up. Im hoping I can ride the groove between "dont want to play 1 because 2 is out" and "dont want to play 2 because it sucks"
In that way I may finally be free of this addiction.
Balatro was my cure.
Haven't found a cure for balatro though.
If you want another roguelike deckbuilder addiction to substitute (or tide you over until StS 2 drops) I can't recommend Chrono Ark enough.
Defect!!!
And 4 player online co-op!!! Nice!
I don't generally get games when they first launch, but considering the amount of time I've spent on the original and the downfall mod, I may make an exception here.
Omfg! I'm so happy they added co-op I really didnt think they would
Oh fuck I came
Tru
Fun! I still play the first one all the time. Even with how good Dawncaster is, I still like the aesthetic and gameplay of slay
Is this a 4 player co-op I see?!
Please please please do not bork this one, I don't want to abandon another game I love. Hopefully it's not like KSP 2 or Cities Skylines 2
I never played the first one, but don’t the title spoiler you don’t actually slay the spire, or do they like rebuild it?
It's basically climbing a tower and killing most of what is in your way, but even then that is abstract.
It's a deck building roguelike, and one of the best.
Thats kind of like asking what the storyline of a pinball game is.
The game has some lore, but not much of a story. It’s primarily a deck builder. So there isn’t really anything to spoil.
I’m so fucking hyped for this
Well fuck, goodbye, my money and my time.
Here I am just trying to hold onto my steam wallet balance to soften the blow of the upcoming steam controller when my friend texts me this video.
Like I knew it was coming, but after 2 pushbacks I just assumed I would have more time.
