Play your cards right

Strategise to defeat a sinister citadel in Slay the Spire.

A giant, evil heart sits atop a tower full of nefarious creatures. Can you climb high enough – and survive long enough – to Slay the Spire?

Choose a hero in this brilliant deck-building strategy game – maybe the fierce Ironclad, or the mysterious Watcher – and start your ascent. Play cards from your hand to unleash mighty powers against jaw worms, dark knights and other bizarre critters.

Attack or defend? You’ll need a balanced deck to take down this nasty chap.

Defeating enemies earns more cards, but choose wisely: every card makes a difference. Amass lots of blocks? Pair those with a card that turns defence into attack damage. And it pays to be flexible; Slay the Spire’s rich tactics play out differently with every playthrough.

Reaching the top of the Spire is no easy feat, but failed runs unlock new cards and powerful relics for future attempts. With strategy, synergy and a little luck, you’ll topple this terrifying tower in no time.
