My favorite new characters are The Automaton and The Slime Boss, though every time I play any character a few times, I find a new favorite! Each character is refreshing and interesting in its own way. They are so much fun to play and add an intriguing new dimension to the game. This means they have access to hero and boss cards of all types throughout the run. The Snecko’s special ability is that they play cards of any class. Cards have extra abilities depending on which gremlin is the main gremlin at the time. The Gremlins’ special ability is that you play as all five gremlins, each with their own health bar and buff effects. Their cards can cause compile errors when certain cards are used together, and the deck is focused on function synergy. The Automaton’s special ability is that they create functions, cards which are the stored combination of three already played cards. Their cards interact heavily with their stances. The Champ’s special mechanic is that they change between Defensive or Berserker stance, giving them bonuses depending on which stance they are in. ![]() A large portion of the cards in this deck are centered around end-of-combat buffs and cards that disappear if not played immediately. The Hexaghost’s special mechanic is that it has six Ghostflames that can be ignited by playing certain card type combinations. The cards also have gem slots, which allows gem cards to be combined with other cards to make them more powerful. ![]() The Guardian’s special mechanic is that they are able to phase between modes after taking a certain amount of damage. Additionally, the Boss has cards that add Goop, increasing the damage of the next attack and causing additional effects when consumed. The Slime Boss’s special mechanic includes slime minions that can split from the Boss and have a variety of effects. All can be encountered as enemies during a Standard run. The seven playable bosses are The Slime Boss, The Guardian, The Hexaghost, The Champ, The Automaton, The Gremlins, and The Snecko. Each boss has its own unique playstyle and deck, resulting in even more varied play experiences. Instead of climbing up the tower, you work your way down defending it from the same heroes you’d play as in the base game. ![]() In Downfall mode, you can play as one of seven bosses from Slay the Spire. In addition to traditional Standard mode, the game’s meat and potatoes is Downfall mode. Cards in their deck have increased abilities when played from the middle of a hand, creating better outcomes the more deliberate you play. Additionally, there is a new hero, The Hermit, an undead gunslinger. Generally, there are plenty of new cards, events, and relics. Gameplayĭownfall adds considerable content and new playing options to Slay the Spire. If you aren’t familiar with Slay the Spire, check out my review! Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with the base game, let’s get into the expansion!Ī screenshot of me playing Downfall with The Slime Boss as my character fighting The Hermit Boss. It has been so successful, it even has its own Steam page. Downfall is one of its first projects, and has been met with heavy support from the Slay the Spire development team and community. Table 9 is a small game studio that has primarily specialized in small projects but is soon to release its own original game, Tales & Tactics. ![]() Slay the Spire Downfall, also known as Downfall, is a fan-made mod to Slay the Spire by Table 9 Studio. Near-illiterate in coding, I can say that the coding can be mastered by those who want to learn it. Hunger, however, will break you.Įvery decision is a desperate calculation, especially in the beginning, unique to Kenshi alone.įinally, if one finds that the game is missing some essential element, Lo-Fi Games opens its code for indefinite editing to suit your needs. Bandits simply can’t spare the effort to kill you. While this game is hard, you don’t typically need to worry about death through combat. You pick yourself up, mend your wounds, and limp away to heal for another future beating. Weak and desperate bandits will beat you for the fish in your bag. Kenshi doesn’t hesitate in showing you that you are the weakest person in a world too desperate to coddle you. There is little synopsis when the most direct story is “don’t die.” However, there is a rich history and exceptional opportunities to develop your own future. Starting first as the passion project of Chris Hunt, Kenshi now sits as an indie standard and cult classic. Imagine Classical Fallout with a bit of Sims and Morrowind mechanics set in a world that doesn’t care about you. Steam tags Kenshi as an open-world sandbox RPG with survival and strategy elements. Kenshi is a 2018 game published and produced by Lo-Fi Games.
