I usually hold off on early access games, to preserve my experience for the finished product, but I just couldn’t resist Slay the Spire 2. The co-op gameplay is an awesome, major change, but even just adding a couple of new characters and cards would have satisfied my cravings. To that end, this week’s free update adds a brand new character, the Fool, who I’m eager to test out.
FYI, this new character is only available on the game’s beta, so you’ll have to go into the game settings on steam, click Properties, then Game Versions & Betas, and then opt into the “public-beta” version of the game to check the new content out. The patch notes for this update specifically say, “We expect to make a great number of content and balance changes before the Fool is ready for the main branch,” so expect frequent tweaks and a bit of a wait before the Fool joins the main Early Access branch. The new beta update also adds two more game modes: Dread and Blitz, which drastically alter your runs. If you want to wait a little while, the team at Mega Crit will refine these options into a more final form. But if you’re like me, more Slay the Spire 2 is more Slay the Spire 2, and I’m hopping in as soon as I can.
