As we all know, card games have always been an enduring game genre, and "meat pigeon" games are a niche genre that has gradually become popular in recent years, and the spark from the combination of the two has given birth to masterpieces like "Killing the Spire".
Slay the Spire is a 2017 card-based roguelike game produced and published by Mega Crit Games. The developers have combined the cards with the "Meat Pigeon", and players need to rely on randomly obtained cards and items to build their own unique card deck to fight against each game, and the goal is to climb to the top of the tower to escape.
As a card game, "Slay the Spire" has no cumbersome operations, and there are no cards with the effect of a book from the sky, so it is simple and concise to return the card game to its original appearance.
Each character in the game has their own unique cards, which are divided into attack cards, skill cards, and talent cards. Some cards cannot be used indefinitely in battles due to the conditions of use.
Attack Cards: Deal damage directly to enemies with some additional effects as described by the card
Skill Cards: Cards with offensive and defensive effects and various buff effects
Ability Cards: Powerful Effect Cards that provide the entire battle
These three cards form the card rules of the entire game, so how do players get these cards?
At the beginning of the game, the player will be given basic cards, and the initial cards given according to each character will naturally be based on the characteristics of the character. But the basis is one talent card with five common attack cards and five defense cards. Players use these cards to carry out the most basic battles, and choose one of the three cards they need through the rewards obtained after winning the battle, and build their own deck.
Since "Killing the Spire" is a "meat pigeon" game, it is not enough to have cards, in all kinds of "meat pigeon" games basically have a common strengthening system, relic props, may have different names but the effect is really powerful, while enhancing the strength of the player, there are some props that will have a tribute or some small easter eggs to add to the fun effect of the game.
Some powerful relic props and even the core components of the entire deck, often around the relics of the Dacheng card deck so that the enemy has no chance to shoot, has been in the normal battle is in the "my turn, my turn, or my turn" scene, a hearty battle these relics are essential. Relics are also relatively easy to obtain, and can be obtained by defeating elite enemies in the map.
Returning to the gameplay of the game, at the beginning of the game, the player will enter a bottom-up map, and decide the path by clicking on the markers in the map, with the head being a normal enemy, and getting cards after winning the battle, and the horned head being an elite enemy, and obtaining relics and cards after defeating. The question mark is an event, where you may encounter battles, or you may be able to get powerful items just by a simple dialogue, and of course there are negative effects, and here you may get the fourth type of card in the game, the curse card. As the name suggests, these cards can have a negative impact on the player, either by the hand or by reducing energy, and the purpose is to make the player unhappy. Of course, some relics can be used to avoid curses, or use these curse cards to enhance yourself.
The game has almost no plot, and the player has only one goal, to conquer the minaret by killing. Since the official release in 2019, this game has become the most unique work in the meat pigeon game, not only redefining the meat pigeon game, but also establishing the standard of the meat pigeon game, that is, the slaughter of the spire game.
