About
Slay the Spire 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the genre-defining roguelike deckbuilder from Mega Crit. Returning 1,000 years after the events of the original, players must once again ascend a procedurally generated, living tower using deep tactical card play and powerful synergistic relics. With evolved visuals, brand-new Slayers, and the groundbreaking addition of up to 4-player co-op, the Spire is deadlier and more dynamic than ever before.
Story
Set a millennium after the first ascent, the mysterious, labyrinthine Spire has twisted and evolved. As a 'Slayer' resurrected by Neow, the god of life, you must uncover ancient secrets, face bizarre new horrors, and battle your way to the top of this dark fantasy tower.
