gotta wait for a few more updates to get 600 episodes out of it but it's already very good and I legit put 69 hours into it, once they release the third character you can probably get 100hours out of the game
there's really not enough content for 600. Maybe if they add the infinite mode and like double the cards. Right now theres only like 4 different bosses for each level and like 3 archetypes for each class. And I don't know about you but self-burn and self-wound for the warrior are kind of shit archetypes.
gotta say if you're a youtuber and have the talking nonstop ingrained into your every cell like NL has it would be kinda stupid to NOT just record as you play. I mean, if you are a game-related youtuber chances are that you will not play THAT many games in your "freetime" because you actually want to do something different... maybe.
@@mellowcorpsep6665 yessss lol as someone who has been watching since his super meat boy videos, it’s so wild to see how he has grown and evolved over the last decade
@@MikeOcksmallClipsoh come on. In 2023, he speaks way more slowly and his entire tone is more nonchalant and jaded. It’s all part of his shtick as he’s become more banter-forward. But this NL seemed much more eager, excited, and optimistic. I love 2023 NL, for the record.
Whooooah this is the first time I've delved into old NL, he sounds like a completely different person. Like its not just mic quality, his voice is completely different.
The balance is really kinda fudged at the moment. Some of the bosses are actually just insane, get relics or lose, both characters have one best deck that you have to go for if you want to win, and a few other things that make the game increasingly frustrating overtime. However, I do say this as someone who has been sinking many hours into the game despite those things because I really do love what we have at this point in its development.
I think that alot of the balancing can be fixed and hopefully will. Another issue in my opinion is that it looks horrible. The art style is awful. And that is something that most likely won't be "fixed"...
Well, granted the art direction doesn't mean the game can conclusively be "bad." Its just preference, I guess. Good luck staring at the art style you particularly don't enjoy Edit: Maybe an addition of new backgrounds while in-battle and cleaner lineless art is all we need! Maybe the ironclad merges in with the colors too well? I don't know what could be changed, but maybe there just needs to be more of something, I just don't know what.
It's so weird coming back to these videos and not seeing his big bald egg head in the corner. Also his voice is way different, way more theatrical. Who is this man?
Your let's look at convinced me to get this game! Been playing it, beat it twice and unlocked everything with one character and am working toward the other!
You don't always need to take cards, and you shouldn't always take cards. More cards = more bloated = more variance in your deck. And you should remove cards to try and keep the deck balanced around block and attack. If you constantly take attack cards, you'll have no blocking cards. Strikes and blocks aren't as good as basically every other card.
My best run as the warrior was using mostly regular blocks and strikes. With the upgrade every card in your deck card + ways to farm strength, regular strikes are pretty damn effective. But I tend to generally replace an attack or block every time I get a new card that is better.
I try removing cards all the time but when I encounter an enemy that puts wounds and burns in my deck it becomes extremely difficult. Really makes getting the achievement a pain.
Oh boy mini series. I finished watching Vinny and I was hungered for more spire so I clicked on the egg. 600 episodes. Well I have enough content for the next year
Hah, couldn't help but laugh as the first thing Northernlion says in the video is "welcome to a little mini-series", knowing the playlist is over 600 videos long. Yes NL, I suppose that's mini for you. I suppose it is.
I bought this game on your recommendation and have since spent 30 hours in it, really looking forward to this series! As i watch the video IL be adding any advice I think may help. 1) If you cast a damaging increasing debuff on an enemy hovering your attack card over them will show the new damage amount 2) Skill cards are cards that deal no direct damage in the video you say bash is a skill but its an attack skill cards are your armour and buff cards 3) Not an objective thing but i find draw and Aoe to be very strong in your deck draw can mean extra anger which is free damage and helps you dig for apotheosis 4) All but the smallest Slimes split at half hp so when you are fighting them be aware of current hp as you don't need to block if you can force them below half (24:30) 5) Cards like sword boomerang don't synergies with breath fire as they are only counted as one attack with 3 instances they do however synergies well with strength cards as each instance of damage gets the buff I think you have done very well honestly most of the mistakes are just game knowledge so i have high hopes for this series.
Came here because I was curious about Slay the Spire. Haven't watched any of your Let's Plays since your half playthrough of Dark Souls III. Good to watch you play again! Also you're almost to 600 at this point lmfao
Don't be scared of curses. Calling Bell is probably one of the stronger boss relics you can get since most relics are more useful than the curses are harmful. Some cards and relics also benefit from having curses. Keep that in mind in future runs.
Not sure if you've noticed this yet, but vulnerability's damage increase only factors in once hovering over the specific enemy since if there's multiple enemies they might not all have it so to show it on the card in hand there would be incorrect/disorienting
The only upside I see to monster slayers is that it has way more cards and classes. This game is still better in general though and still has updates in it's future for some more classes/cards.
You had a great selection of card choice in this first area. That doesnt always happen. Just remember you can always skip on card pickups so your deck isnt flooded with cards that dont synergize well. Demon form is great with multi-hit attacks. Rampage is good with card draw and card search. You can easily build a run around those two cards.
To anyone who enjoys this game, please join us on the subreddit r/slaythespire, the community is small right now but we are welcoming and the devs are very active and personal.
you actually dont have to caculate damage from buffs and debuffs yourself, when you point the card at the target thats effected by such things, the number on the card itself will change to the true value
I've only watched the "Let's look at" episode, bought the game instantly and played one run (cuz it's super late here right now) and I already feel like this is one of the greatest games I've played in years. Kudos to the devs, this is absolutely amazing!
This game has been added to my list called "Bought because of NL". I don't know how you find these gems, but I'm glad I've been subbed for so long. And we need more of these episodes.
The best thing to note going foward, a smaller deck means you pull the cards you want more often. Ideally you'd have a 5 card deck lol, but thats pretty hard to do.
At the end, Offering seemed like the best choice tbh. Getting more cards and the means to play them at the cost of some hp seems much better than the chance to gain some extra life.

I am here 5 years later and wow, it doesn't sound like NL at all! WTF...
Even at episode 568 he sounds much more like he does rn
This game is really freakin' good. Very impressed as to how solid it is in Early Access, looking forward to see how they update along the way.
My biggest issue with the game is the map meta is basically go for all the relics or definitely lose.
Thank you NL

Hi Mulf
It's so weird coming back to these videos and not seeing his big bald egg head in the corner. Also his voice is way different, way more theatrical. Who is this man?
Pre-dad arc
This guys play through actually got me into sts. I was considering buying the game and this was the final price of motivation I needed.
How does one RUclipsr's voice change so drastically so many times over the years??
Bro he sounds so different its crazy. He hit 2nd puberty or something
Different microphones
Have you heard his voice when he first started RUclips doing his Punch Out LP?
I'm here to watch this after today's Tainted Grail vid and the voice difference really staggers ya
His voice just gets deeper and deeper as he gets older
Your let's look at convinced me to get this game! Been playing it, beat it twice and unlocked everything with one character and am working toward the other!
‘It could be a 6 episode series, it could be a 600 episode series’ I’m actually laughing my ass off here
Call 999
It un-ironically became a 600 ep series. the mad egg did it
I love this man - why is his voice completely different now?
APOTHEOSIS COSTED 0 WITH NO UPGRADE?
You don't always need to take cards, and you shouldn't always take cards. More cards = more bloated = more variance in your deck.
And you should remove cards to try and keep the deck balanced around block and attack. If you constantly take attack cards, you'll have no blocking cards. Strikes and blocks aren't as good as basically every other card.
I feel like you should aim to remove the basic blocks and strikes from your deck.
My best run as the warrior was using mostly regular blocks and strikes. With the upgrade every card in your deck card + ways to farm strength, regular strikes are pretty damn effective. But I tend to generally replace an attack or block every time I get a new card that is better.
analychemist one of my best runs was when I got a room that upgraded all my strikes and blocks permanently, that was nice
I try removing cards all the time but when I encounter an enemy that puts wounds and burns in my deck it becomes extremely difficult. Really makes getting the achievement a pain.
All you need is barricade, impervious and body slam. Easy win when they are combined.

1) If you cast a damaging increasing debuff on an enemy hovering your attack card over them will show the new damage amount
2) Skill cards are cards that deal no direct damage in the video you say bash is a skill but its an attack skill cards are your armour and buff cards
3) Not an objective thing but i find draw and Aoe to be very strong in your deck draw can mean extra anger which is free damage and helps you dig for apotheosis
4) All but the smallest Slimes split at half hp so when you are fighting them be aware of current hp as you don't need to block if you can force them below half (24:30)
5) Cards like sword boomerang don't synergies with breath fire as they are only counted as one attack with 3 instances they do however synergies well with strength cards as each instance of damage gets the buff
I think you have done very well honestly most of the mistakes are just game knowledge so i have high hopes for this series.
I refuse to believe this plucky and generic sounding guy ended up being Northernlion.

@@alfaddeljameel1563 it's better than a strike - low damage to a single enemy for 1 energy. Cleave is better strike

Took me forever to remember this, but Slay the Spire is just a better Monster Slayers. Kinda strange how similar the games are though
Or a better Guild of Dungeoneering
