Wow, that’s pretty incredible that it hadn’t reached you all these years. Slay the Spire’s predecessor is Dream Quest, which, in combination with the tabletop card game Dominion, spawned a whole subgenre of deck-building games.
Indies’ Lies, Pirates Outlaws, Monster Train, Tainted Grail: Conquest, Griftlands, and so many more are all direct descendants of StS. It was as revolutionary to indie gaming as FTL: Faster Than Light and Doukutsu Monogatari (Cave Story) were in their respective genres.
So there’s a little bit of indie gaming history for you.

Yeah, I don’t have the energy to sift through 500 garbage indie games to find the one gem. ;) As a rule, I don’t bother with indie titles.
