Slay the Spire News

PlayStation Plus April Leaked: Slay the Spire, Spongebob Squarepants, and Hood: Outlaws and Legends

We’ve got more PS + leaks coming from Dealabs today, this time teasing what we can expect from the service in April. Hood: Outlaws & Legends steals the show this time around, while Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated splashes some fun on the whole selection. Finally, Slay the Spire sneaks in as the final entry in proper rogue-like fashion.

Dealabs, and the leaker Billbil Kun, has been a mysterious source of reliable information in the past. So, while they’ve been on point in recent months, we must as always stress to take this leak (as well as any leak) with a pinch of salt.

Starting off with Hood: Outlaws & Legends, this team based 3rd person action game has a squad of outlaws venture into a selection of guarded locations in order to pillage the wealth hidden inside. More of a darker twist on the classic Robin Hood story, this might be the game for you if you’ve got a few friends looking for a fun experience to hop into. This game got itself a nice amount of post-launch content too, so if you really like it there’s additional stuff you and your buds can dive into.

In the works for a few years now Slay the Spire mod-turned-fan-expansion Downfall is finally out—it even has one of those fancy full-on Steam pages like a proper game, but for a mod. I do love those...

Slay the Spire roguelike adds full Steam Deck support

It's already one of the best card games on PC, now Slay the Spire patch 2.3 has added full Steam Input support so it can conquer the Steam Deck too. Additionally, one of its most popular mods has gone standalone, and developer Mega Crit reveals it is working on multiple "secret projects".

A fusion between card battler and roguelike game, Slay the Spire launched over three years ago and quickly rose in popularity, selling more than 1.5 million copies in two months. In February 2022, the game is still going strong and has been verified as Steam Deck compatible - although only 'playable' as it's noted that there are some control issues.

With the game's latest update, Mega Crit has added full support for Steam Input, allowing users to play with "a wider variety of controllers and customise input settings through Steam's Controller Configuration". As the Steam Deck uses Steam Input, the developer notes that "Slay the Spire will work nicely out of the box". Alternatively, if you want to keep your current controller setup you can easily disable Steam Input instead.
