Slay the Spire modders’ roguelike auto-battler Tales & Tactics gets an early access launch date

We already knew the folks behind Slay the Spire mod Downfall were making their own standalone game, Tales & Tactics, and now we know when we’ll be able to play it. Tales & Tactics, in case you’ve forgotten, is best pitched as a mixture of Slay the Spire and Dota Auto Chess; in other words, it’s a fantasy roguelike (like StS), where you can pick up abilities, gear and whatnot during each run, with auto-battling combat (like Auto Chess) - except here it’s on a hex board.

A limited Neow Plushie appears!

Buckle up, a Neow plushie PRE-ORDER page is available right now! We teamed up with Makeship to do a limited plushie production. Once the campaign is over, you won't be able to get this plushie ever again 😱.

A plushie isn't simply a lifeless husk filled with cotton. For instance, you can ask Neow to give you advice and you can choose which one of three choices will impact the rest of your run day.

"Choose... wisely..."

Wow, very useful. Thanks Neow! You can get one of your own by simply clicking on any of these high quality drawings of Neow:

That's all for now, have a nice day.

Oh, are you still scrolling? Well, here's Neow exploring the overgrowths.

Little known fact. Neow is also a ruthless mahjong shark.

Okay, we took all these pictures for you. Be sure to buy one!

When Slay the Spire launched, back in January 2019, it represented the pinnacle in what became a well recognised genre - Deck Builders. Let’s delve into that genre and see lies beneath the surface.

PlayStation Plus Premium line-up for April is almost entirely Microsoft games

The PlayStation Plus Premium lineup for April has been revealed, and with it comes some amazing titles to dive into.

The Essential line-up for April was revealed two weeks ago, detailing that Sackboy: A Big Adenture, Tails of Iron, and Meet Your Maker would be coming to the first tier of the service.

As for those with Extra and Premium, you can expect a lot more bang for your buck. It also just so happens that Xbox Game Pass subscribers might be familiar with a few of these titles, as most of them are Microsoft-licensed.

Slay The Spire has remained an incredibly popular deckbuilding roguelike, so it naturally invited a healthy modding community that added fun stuff to the game - goofy googley eyes included. One of Slay The Spire’s most popular mods was called Downfall, a huge fan-made expansion that added tons of playable characters, a new mode, and more. Those developers - Table 9 Studio - are now back with their own not-modded game: an auto-battling, fantasy Chess roguelike called Tales & Tactics.
