Eric Farraro, developer and designer of the mobile roguelike deck builder Meteorfall, joins us to offer some perspective on Slay the Spire, a deep roguelike deck builder that’s recently come to Nintendo Switch. We discuss some of the ideas and mechanics that make Slay the Spire unique, and talk about how it’s influencing Eric’s own work on his next game; Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale.

The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon! Supporters at any level get access to our Discord, where we discuss games, plan episodes, and talk about what we are playing in real time. You can also support us by writing a review on Apple Podcasts!
