Slay the Spire
A deckbuilding roguelike where every climb is different
iPhoneiPad4.33.2K ratings$9.99
The verdict
Card games on your phone usually push packs and ads at you, and Slay the Spire costs $9.99 once with neither. You build a deck as you climb a tower, picking cards and relics after each fight, and every run brings a new map, enemies and bosses. It's touch-only and single-player, and if you'd rather bend poker hands than build decks, Balatro has a similar run-based hook at the same $9.99.
Get it if
You like strategy card games and want 1 game you can replay for hundreds of hours.
Skip it if
You want to play with a controller or with friends; it's touch-only and strictly solo.
