Reception

According to Mega Crit, the game's first early access release in November 2017 was very slow, with about 2000 copies selling across the first weeks, the period in which most games sell the most copies. While they had seeded redemption keys with streamers and influencers, these had not converted into sales. It was not until a Chinese streamer featured the game on their channel that had over a million views, did Mega Crit start to see the large rise in sales.[8] During the week ending January 21, 2018, Slay the Spire was the second highest-sold game on Steam.[9][10] By February 2018, the game had more than 500,000 players, according to SteamSpy estimates.[11] Mega Crit announced that by the end of June, sales of Slay the Spire had exceeded 1 million,[12] and reached 1.5 million by March 2019.[8]

On release, the game received positive reviews, with a Metacritic aggregate rating of 89 out of 100.[1]
