2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Wildfrost is a really good one. It's got a lot of different play styles and has a pretty big learning curve.

Also on android there is Pirate Outlaws. It feels like a slay the spire clone, but has a good amount of content and does enough different to be worth mentioning.

Not exactly the same cause it's not a deck builder, but has a similar feel is dicey dungeons (both steam and android). It's a lot simpler and luck is a larger factor, but it's got a decent gameplay loop and being able to play on Android helped scratch that itch on the road.

I liked Wildfrost, but it didn't have that much replay value after 30 or so hours, whereas I have 500+ in StS. They have updated it since I last played though, so maybe there's a bit more to do now?

They've definitely added things to it over the year or so it's been out. Not sure if enough to make it worth it for you. It's also possible I'm just bad at it, as I haven't beaten it (although only 12hrs on it).

It's definitely a tough game. The only thing easy about it is taking your turn, missing something important, then dying.

Wildfrost mention, hell yeah

I'm not too into deckbuilders, so I played it just for that gorgeous presentation lol. The art style falls under an unusual category of "cute, but I'm pretty sure that the artist also draws naughty stuff on the side"
