Slay the Spire News

Hello hello,

While we're still working with our porting team to improve the mobile UX and prep for Android release, we've also addressed some MacOS compatibility issues and received many updates to localization. It's incredible to see Slay the Spire become so widely available on so many platforms and in so many languages (19 total!).


The game should no longer crash when playing on MacOS Catalina 10.15. The libgdx199 and libgdx199.main branch no longer has modding support.
For those wanting to run mods, please run the game on either the main branch or beta branch.


Crossover edition!

Slay the Spire x Animal Crossing by /u/loganlcs

Slay the Spire x Hades by lunchplus

Slay the Spire x Human Skin(??) by /u/SingleOrigin

Slay the Spire x Wall by /u/brunior

Hey everyone,

We’ve got some great news to share. We’re happy to announce that Slay the Spire will be in your pockets this month on iOS! When specifically? We’ll have that news very soon, but as a hint, you should try to tune in to the Guerrilla Collective show on June 13th.



The Android version is still in the works but we’re not quite ready to talk about release yet. As we know a large part of our community are excited to play Slay the Spire on mobile we took the decision to launch the iOS version first.



Slay on iOS will cost $9.99 at launch and is the complete, spire-climbing experience you have already enjoyed on PC (okay, no anime mods, you got us).



Recently captured, hot off the iPhone.





Stay tuned for more updates @MegaCrit

Hey everyone,

We're adding a few tweaks and fixes to improve compatibility for certain resolutions, devices, and operating systems that have been trickling in while working with our porting teams.


Mod support for MacOS will become incompatible starting v2.1 due to updated notarization requirements.
To play modded Slay the Spire, the game must be played on v2.0 branches. This can be accessed via Steam's branches.

Hey everyone,

Turkish language support was added last hotfix but wasn't enabled in the Settings and caused some other issues. This is quite embarrassing, but now it's fixed. Hooray!

As always, feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you run into issues or have suggestions.

• Fixed Vietnamese displaying Ukrainian in the main branch.
  
• Fixed Turkish not showing up in main branch.
  
• Removing Upgraded tooltip from Cunning Potion as the Upgraded keyword isn't in the description.
  
• Adding updated logic so Fasting power's description works properly in various languages.
  
• Updated the main English font from Kreon v1 to Kreon v2.
  
• Updates for languages ITA, POL, PTB, TUR.
  

NOTE: Minor technical issues with some pipes (build process). Slightly delayed

We've added a new branch, fixed some things, updated some translations, and more!


The mac version of Slay the Spire is now notarized so it won't expire on newer versions of macOS (Catalina) come February.



We added a separate branch "libgdx199.main". This is the updated engine version of Slay the Spire using the main branch save files. The other libgdx199 branch utilizes your beta save files. This version is incompatible with some older devices; this may be preferred for some users as it comes with a few features, fixes, and performance improvements:

• Mapping support for much more controllers. Such as the Steam controller.
  
• Improved display resolution recognition, preventing an annoying screen offset bug.
  
• Screenshake support for non 16:9 resolutions.
  
• Multi-monitor support, pick which monitor you want Slay the Spire to use from the Settings.
  

Previously, fighting the Act 4 boss was not possible unless you cleared a standard run. As this is not the case with the Watcher, some players unlocked Amethyst+ without Amethyst. How peculiar! This fix remedies this issue.

• Amethyst achievement now unlocks if you achieved Amethyst+ via opening Stats screen.
  
• If Amethyst+ achievement is unlocked, Amethyst is now also unlocked simultaneously.
  
• Weave card is now locked for the Watcher as the second set of unlocks contained a deprecated card. If this was unlocked previously, it will unlock when starting the game. Nope, apparently it's already Foreign Influence.
  

We've updated the Fasting and Pressure Points power icons with suggestions from the community!

• Fixing total unlock count for cards and relics on the stats screen (didn't account for Watcher).
  

While many mods will still need to be updated to be compatible with V2.0, we restored some old functions to make it easier.

• Adding back old ExhaustAction constructors (backwards mod compatibility).
  
• Adding getColor() helper method for CardHelper.
  

We received an updated translation for Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish! A big thanks to Felipe "Xcution" Requejo, Ertürk Yılmaz, and anyone who helped out with feedback and further refinement for those translations.

• Brazilian Portuguese is now available in main branch.
  
• Turkish is now available in main branch.
  
• Updates for Thai, translating the Strike and Defend cards for Watcher.
  
• Updates for Russian.
