Mega Crit has released "v0.113.0," its largest update to date, for the beta branch of the deck-building roguelike *Slay the Spire 2*.
"The Fool," the first new character since Early Access began, has finally joined the fray!
This update was announced in the October issue of “Neo Letter,” released on October 30, with a release date set for November 13. “The Fool,” the first new character since the start of Early Access, has made its debut.
The Fool is a comical musician who wields a bow. While the patch notes describe him as a minstrel or a fool, specific details have not been revealed.
The developers plan to make further adjustments to content and balance before the Fool is added to the main branch.
"Blitz," where you race through the map without a map, and "Dread," where you face death head-on
Two new game modes have been added. “Blitz” is a short, chaotic mode that emphasizes deck-building. It features unconventional rules: there’s no map, gold has no value, and the merchant’s inventory is somewhat bizarre.
A five-tier Ascension system is available for all characters; completing any Ascension difficulty once unlocks it.
The other mode, “Dread,” is an extremely high-difficulty mode intended for players who have reached Ascension Level 10 with all characters.
Not only do all Ascension special conditions apply, but bosses are further strengthened, and even the enemies that appear on the same tier are made stronger. As you climb the Spire, the curses increase—making this the ultimate challenge.
Rest Areas Now Appear One Floor Earlier. New Events and a Rework of “Premonition of Battle”
As for other balance adjustments, rest areas now appear one floor earlier than before on all levels.The “Underground Waterway” now features the events “The Secret of the Typical Waterfall” and “Wappy’s Pinch”; the second layer features “The Torture Museum”; and the third layer features “The General’s Shrine” and “Thermae Nonpeipe.” New event cards and event relics corresponding to each of these have also been added.
On the card front, Ironclad’s “Premonition of Battle” has been reworked again, now with the effect: “Gain 15 (20) blocks. The Energy cost of Attack cards in your hand is reduced by 1 until they are played.”Silent’s *Memento Mori* has also been significantly reworked into a cost-3 Attack card, with the effect now reading: “Slay. Deal 19 (23) damage to the enemy with the lowest HP.”
In addition, high-resolution portraits are now displayed when viewing cards, a second BGM track has been added to the underground tunnels, loading times have been sped up and memory usage reduced through texture compression, and numerous bug fixes—including a soft lock issue during multiplayer—have been implemented.
For details, please see the patch notes on Steam News.
"Slay the Spire 2" is currently available in Early Access on PC (Steam). It is priced at 2,800 yen, but you can purchase it for 2,240 yen—a 20% discount—until November 27.
Since the beta update includes numerous new features that significantly change the game, it is being released exclusively on the beta branch for thorough testing before being merged into the main branch. To play, right-click the game in your Steam Library, select “Properties” → “Game Version and Beta,” and choose “public-beta.”
Additionally, the main branch includes all content and changes up to the previous beta version, “v0.111.0.”
