One nice thing about mods, rather than the base game, is that they can be ridiculous and that’s OK. I expect some to be well conceived, some to be poorly balanced, and generally to enjoy fumbling around with “is this bad or am I doing it badly?” Because Slay the Spire was my first real “ git gud” game. When you have played 400+ hours, you may need something new to keep it fresh.

There have been mods for months, but it is now supported through Steam Workshop.Īt a friend’s suggestion, I am going to start trying out mods, particularly modded characters.

: Zubon Posted on JanuJanuAuthor Zubon Categories Slay the Spire 2 Comments on Mod the Spire: So Far No Good Mod the SpireĪs a last big thing before the official release in two weeks, Slay the Spire now supports mods. Maybe the different numbers make sense in the context of the new class, given its other mechanics and cards, but probably not. The exact same effect with a different cost, or the same effect with a different number, is either an argument against the original game’s balance or a sign they didn’t even notice it.

Special shout out to mods with cards that are straight-up better or worse versions of existing cards. Did I see only the lousy cards or the overpowered ones? Did I get the wombo combo early or never? Am I really willing to spend hours digging through poop in hopes there is a pony in there? A few playthroughs is not enough to see everything, less evaluate it. They may do neat things, but they have had less than scrupulous balancing applied.Įvaluating player mods is difficult and time consuming in a rogue-like. Player mods may not come out looking good compared to the base game, which has been tested against thousands of players for millions of hours.

When I want a meaningful decision in selecting cards, I want tension between which option would be better for me right now, I am only seeing that when I have multiple “I win” cards to choose from, otherwise it seems like “all crap” or “obviously pick that one.” This might average out to balanced, but at least as likely it leads to wild swings between “easy wins” and “I didn’t get any good cards.” There are overpoweringly great cards and fairly awful cards, without a lot of “pretty good” in between. All of them, even the one I’ve found that I like (the Slimebound), seem to suffer from wild swings in card quality. I’m only a few in, but so far nothing has been great. I thought I would try the modded classes for Slay the Spire. : Zubon Posted on JanuMaAuthor Zubon Categories Slay the Spire, Tabletop Tuesday Mod the Spire: So Far No Good Sometimes you want to challenge your limits. I am particularly fond of one named “Second Wave” that lets you keep the same island after completing a game, reset some variables, then keep playing with new spirits. Several add and remove win and loss conditions. One makes everything faster, one focuses on guarding the island’s center and another the island’s coast, and another adds a chance for random buffs to the spirits or invaders. Most of these make the game more difficult. Spirit Island also has scenarios, which let you pick a set of modifiers to the game. (I should try dialing difficulty all the way up and all the way down at once.) And then there are two levels of lowered difficulty (which can stack). (They considered having the “levels” just be the difficulty level, but it caused more confusion trying to explain why the numbers might be “1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10,” and then people referred to the top level as “six” anyway.) The next expansion adds more adversaries and a way to combine them for stacking difficulty. The “base” difficulty of each nation varies, so the game comes with a chart showing how each adversary & level ranks on a scale of 1-10. You can decide that your invaders come from one of four European nations, each of which has base modifiers and then levels 1-6 of increased difficulty. Spirit Island has its base game and then adversaries. Slay the Spire also supports mods now, so you can adjust the game to the limits of your competence. Harder fights, easier fights, trading off one thing for another? Screens of options. Want more control over your starting hand? Here are several options. Slay the Spire also has custom runs, which let you pick one or many modifiers to the game. About half the levels are increasing the damage, health, and movesets of normal, elite, and boss enemies. There are 20 levels of Ascension, each of which dials up the difficulty a little more, usually by adjusting a number or two. Slay the Spire has its base game and then Ascension. This lets you pick how difficult (or easy) you want your game to be. One feature I enjoy in Slay the Spire and Spirit Island is that both games have highly customizable difficulty, both in type and degree.
