Great game - serious issues with this port. Super crackly audio. Like, painfully crackly. This doesn't happen with any other audio on my phone, just this game. Also unlocks that get skipped randomly, leaving the game forever incomplete with no way to fix it. Ascensions that don't Increment until you force quit the game. I want to give this 5 stars. Please fix. Update: the audio issues are somehow getting worse over time. 2nd update: audio issue resolved without update? No idea how.

One of the greatest games of all time... and one of the worst mobile ports. The interface is buggy and causes frequent misplays from "sticky" controls. There is no offline support, even though it launched with it. Cloud save files randomly vanish, removing progress and unlocks. Completely useless port, and an insult to MegaCrit's work.

Gameplay is good but touch interface is really finicky. (Once a card is tapped to select, it is very difficult to deselct. Often the gard gets played instead of deselecting it. Swiping is way easier anyway, I don't understand why these 2 separate systems are both in place.) enough of my runs have been ruined that I am uninstalling. Good game, but a hassle to play in it's current state.

This game literally changed my point of view about turn-based combat games. When I thought of a turn-based combat game before this game, I thought of smth like undertale but without the dodging or smth like that. I even though the same thing about this game. Never been so glad to be wrong in my life and personally I love the characters, I am only missing the 4th one but I have most of them, being the defect my favorite. Overall rating 11/10 if you have 10 spare dollars, you should really buy it.

My only issue with the game keeping it from 5 stars is I paid for a game I cannot start and play while offline since it attempts to load cloud saves upon opening instead of using local save sources. Still an amazing game and I definitely don't own this on pc and the consoles because it's so good! Bought it on my phone for offline play and I should've went with a switch copy since I could play that version offline.

This is a 5+ star game! I LOVE Slay the Spire! Brilliant deck building game... way better than Snap (though this is a solo game and I Snap is played against others when your not playing bots). My 3 stars is for the mobile port. I love this on consoles, but the moves on mobile are waaayyy too easy to make a mistake. Every run I play a card at the wrong time, or remove a card by accident ect. On such a strategy heavy game one accidental mistake can blow the entire run and ruins the experience.

Love this game so much that I bought it on Mobile after getting it on PC. There are just some issues this the U.I because it's touch screen. I've played cards I didn't mean to or discarded potions instead of used them. I also recently lost a lot of progress because of some synchronization issue. I lost ascension levels for several characters 🤷 The game is a 10/10 but I wish the mobile version worked a little another or allowed for syncing with the PC version.

Very good port of the game, touch controls can be a little finicky, please add support for controllers! It would be a perfect version If it did. Update 2/19/24 My saves have been lost for some reason, I had the watcher unlocked now it's locked again. I can look at my previous run list and see tons of watcher ones in there, what happened?

EDIT: They FIXED IT!! It took a couple of months, and they deserve 5 stars for all the work. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT SAVE FILE NEXT TIME YOU START THE APP. It looks like the normal cloud vs local save mismatch as before, which I would always default to local save as that was more recent, typically, than cloud saves. This time the cloud save is the one that had all of my old data! There were no additional warnings for this. I would recommend that devs make that clear if possible

Fun game but painful touch controls. As a beginner, I frequently forget what some cards do and have to select a card to read its description. It would be nice to be able to tap it again too return it to your hand. This is possible with Attacks, but not so with Skill or Power cards, which instead activate upon tapping then a second time. You can't swipe the card back down either. Very frustrating.

Amazing game. Very, very hard, but I'm addicted. No purchases aside from the game itself. Cloud saves are device locked. You can uninstall the game and reinstall and it will get your save back, but on another device? Nope. I tried everything (different devices and accounts even), but a save will never transfer from one device to another. Maybe a minor complaint, but using google cloud saves, this should work. Maybe my bad for wanting to play 24/7.

Great game. Broken app. I was worried to play it on mobile data because there doesn't seem to be a way of turning off cloud saves. It's unclear why cloud saves are desirable in the first place. Whatever changed to delete offline mode also deleted my local save with no option or warning. This is a single player game. It's 2023. Physical storage is incredibly cheap and it will always be faster than remote access. Get it together, folks!

I love the PC version of this, but this Android port is unplayable. The UI has not been adjusted for smaller screens. The font size is too tiny to read. The "bigger text" option does nothing. There is plenty of space for readable text sizes and even for bigger cards. Effects are too small, as is any pop up text. At the same time, loads of white space is wasted which could be utilized for a REAL mobile UI. What a disappointment!

Slay the Spire is amazing. The mobile port is not. There's some minor issues like handling cursor position that causes cards to sometimes get stuck or used unintentionally. But the big issue is the cloud saves. Very slow to load saves and whatever service is used to manage them is very unreliable. Twice now in the last 2 months I have lost all my progress due to sync issues. That's ridiculous. To be clear: MegaCrit is amazing, HumbleGames (who managed the mobile port) has dropped the ball.

Enjoyable Game, but my save has reverted to a previous (very old) save a couple of times now, losing a lot of hard won achievements and progress. The last time this happened, after a day or two, it was suddenly back to the more recent save but there's no way to force export/upload/download data, so there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to stop this from happening.

I don't post reviews much, but I'll do one for this game. It's amazing. If you're into turn based, strategy card games, this is it. Absolutely ZERO ads. No pay to win. 100% strategy...and luck (it is a card game). The replayability is endless. The build possibilities are vast since you can choose so many cards, relics, potions, etc. wish there were more characters. Other than that, I've played this game for tons of hours. If it cost $30, I'd still buy it.

The game itself is really fun. The art style is interesting, the gameplay is surprisingly crisp, considering the type of game it is. It's a great way to pass a plane ride. My issue, however, is that cloud saves are broken in such a way that you can't transfer saves across devices. That's a huge issue. I reached out to support, and they said it is broken on some devices after Android 14, and there's no ETA on a fix. I take that as it might never be fixed, so fair warning out there.
