Tristan and Oliver seek to play their cards right or face permadeath as they break down MegaCrit’s seminal roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire into these three bits:
1. Risk VS Reward - How the game masterfully goes about presenting truly meaningful choices to players.
2. Class Variety - The curation of playable characters and how they make a punishing, almost traditional, roguelike exciting to replay.
3. Enemy Intentions - designing around RNG and leaning into player strategy through the power of UI and enemy designs.
