I just have to say you shouldn't let your past experiences with grinding skill in old games destroy your ability to enjoy new ones. Slay the Spire is one of the best games to come out in the last three decades in my opinion. It's just that good.

Does the mobile version play as well as the PC version? I'm wondering which one I should get. Mobile is more convenient, certainly.

Yes, they both play exactly the same. You just touch drag cards around. It's turn based, so you can take as much time as you need.

The only difference is using touch vs mouse to play, and it handles touch quite well. I play them more or less interchangeably.

Thanks, I got the PC version because it's on offer, I'll see if I like it.

The mobile version plays exactly the same as the PC, my only real issue is the UI elements are really small on my iPhone 11 screen and can be tough to read descriptions. You get used to it and memorize a lot of things over time through sheet reitition so it’s not that big of a deal though.

That's disappointing to hear. Even on the Switch screen some of the text was way too small for me, I hope they look at improving it across platforms.

Don’t get me wrong I still got hundreds of hours out of the game.

That's kind of judgmental to say how they should or shouldn't feel about it yeah? You don't generally just decide to feel that way about something that used to be a big part of your life, and you also don't undo feeling that way on a whim.

And nothing about the experience they described centered on the quality of the games, so it also doesn't feel relevant that this one is apparently particularly good.

I didn't take any issue with it, in fact i had already wishlisted this game based just on the article, even though the article had next to nothing to do with the game itself, in my view.
