The auto-battling is frantic, but freezes every 7 seconds to allow you to spend your three energy by playing cards from your draw pile. ItвЂ™s the combination of classic deck building with grid-based auto-battling which makes this so unique and compelling. IвЂ™ve covered this one before and it continues to develop apace, as you can see when Liam covered it 6 months later for its huge content update.

Full of character, an incredible overland map mechanic, inventive challenge system, beautiful graphics, clear, clean gameplay вЂ“ itвЂ™s a must-buy in my opinion. Amazing (truly AMAZING) synergies are at play here, allowing you to develop awesome teamwork with much less RNG than Slay the Spire.

My personal favourite, this game revolves around a party of two taking on a series of challenges inspired by the developer's other game, Faeria. Already fully playable for multiple hours, this is also one to keep an eye on if you prefer the finished product, as I suspect itвЂ™s going to be pretty special. ThereвЂ™s also the glimmering of a cool story developing already, and the lore of a fantasy world recovering after decades of conflict.

The mechanics are under heavy development, but there's a nice combination of in-game progress as you build your deck and between-run progress as you build up city resources. Still in early access, but showing a lot of promise, this is the first 'team' game I'm covering - this features a cast of four characters from different classes. I've not played much yet, but it looks like there's about 7 characters to unlock.

ThereвЂ™s a lot going on and itвЂ™s pretty challening, but beautfully done. Some unusual design choices in this one вЂ“ for example just a single вЂњblockвЂќ will block ALL damage from one source, while other stats drive armour and dodge. The map has a clever lighting mechanic which revolves around a dwindling torch, driving the gameplay forward. Also, I didnвЂ™t test the GOG version under Lutris/Wine, apologies)ДЄnother single-player vs the world game, but this time, with a beautifully realised 3D world which acts as the map. The right amount of challenge combines with surprisingly deep gameplay and brilliant synergies if you land the right cards. This is the game in this round up most like Slay the Spire, and like its inspiration (it launched almost exactly one year later), each of the three characters have very different styles.

Judge me all you like, but after landing this in a Humble Bundle, I was gobsmacked at how good it is and I stand by that assessment. Yes, this is full of scantily-clad, over-sexualised ladies, thanks for noticing. LetвЂ™s start with a couple of Proton-only titles, then look at the native options. MOAR! HereвЂ™s a round up of a few favourites. So since late 2019 IвЂ™ve been hunting for more. After over a hundred hours playing Slay the Spire, the classic that invigorated the whole genre, I had the bug, bad. Slay the Spire got me into this genre digitally, after originally feeling the pull of Magic the Gathering in the late 90's.
