Slay the Spire is out now, with more PC-specific features coming
The 1.0 update fixes some bugs and tweaks the UI.
Roguelike card game Slay the Spire has escaped Early Access—our review is coming soon—after a fairly brisk 14-month stint. An update accompanies the launch, as well as a trailer that you can watch above.
