The graphics are garbage. Yeah yeah "BUT GRAPHICS DON'T MATTER GAMEPLAY DOES!" is probably what most people will respond with, but I think graphics matter a lot, at a certain threshold - at a certain points, bad graphics will just turn people off from the idea of buying the game and playing it. It's probably why some people still haven't played it yet - because it looks kind of cheap, all things considered.
@@reaperz5677i don’t wanna be mean on internet, but I guess it’s engagement for Connor so sorry. Go play your stupid ps5 nerd, Sts is game about mechanics, not pretty horse balls of rdr2 or huge asses of that new nier clone game, idk what to add, nerd
This was genuinely the best time I had in connor's chat, there was such a surprising community behind slay the spire that I was introduced to that day. CLAW IS LAW
There's a reason Slay the Spire basically defined the entire genre. It's probably the entire reason Balatro exists and that game was nominated for GOTY.
@@darkbrother339 Not even baseless of you take one second of your time and actually look into it. Roguelike deckbuilders skyrocketed in popularity after the release of slay the spire. Just look at the statsistics bruh
@@bick615 "Probably the reason Balatro exists" Did you ask the creator themself and they said this, or are you just saying whatever you feel like is true?
Didn't LocalThunk literally say that he specifically *didn't* play other deckbuilding games like Slay the Spire? So he would come up with his own design?
I remember playing Issac for the 1st time and just realising how engaging it was that pretty much everything about character could change after a pick up: constantly adjusting to different movement/attack speeds, different ranges, different hitbox sizes. I've got to try Rebirth and Spire at somepoint.
I've been on the fence about getting back into StS before StS2 comes out, and this may be the vid that has done it. 10/10 content, would continue to watch.
Man, Slay the Spire is eternal! It's wild to see it still going strong in 2024. Just shows how perfect the gameplay loop is-pure strategy, endless replayability, and those mods keeping it fresh.
Seen as you like this Connor, you'd probably like Dungeon Clawler too. Same premise but instead of cards you get items out of a claw machine instead haha
Breach Wanderers is also a really wonderful deckbuilder roguelike game with a twist that you can modify your initial deck which most of the games in the genre doesnt or not to the extent Breach Wanderers allow.
My favorite youtuber played my favorite game (outer wilds) and now my favorite youtuber is playing my second favorite game (slay the spire, which i have 2k+ hours into), Big W Connor, if you like ironclad, don't be scared to exhaust your cards, it's one of the strongest synergies in the game (corruption + dark embrace + feel no pain will carry your ENDGAME, not early game tho :) )
Wow, the timing is great, I started playing this a couple of weeks ago and love it (even though I'm kinda bad at it). Never liked these card games before until I played Slay the Spire.
It's interesting to see that Connor the exact same thoughts like myself as a beginner. Glass knife is insanely strong and as weird as it may feel exhaust is ironclads best build by a good amount
Another beautiful Slay the Spire like endorphin simulator - Diceomancer Artis great and the extra mechanic pushes it so high in thinking outside the box
The starting character Ironclad is just Hakuman from Blazblue and is like the best character in the game if you ask me (plays demon form card and upgrades starting artifact)
Can't wait for slay the spire 2 i didn't know how fun deck builder rogue like card games are until inscryption, balatro and slay the spire
One of us, one of us.
If you need more of those, try Hadean Tactics. It's definetely not as good as the other games u mentioned but it's a fun little game.
Welcome bro. The best genre ever.
Monke getting smarter by playing card games
But is he brave enough to challenge Mario to Go Fish??
Time to put him in the ruina cage
So close to making him play Library of ruina XD
@@zeyadgabr8682we don’t talk about love town
A step closer into the pmverse. one of us.....
Playing Slay the Spire. Refresh RUclips. Slay the Spire video from Connor.
Continue playing. The grind doesn't end.
(921 hours played)
You play any of them modded characters? Some of em are real cool.
The same happened to me! I'm only at 400 hours though 🤝
Can't believe there are people who haven't played Slay The Spire in 2024, unless you're not into rougelike or deck-building games.
Unfortunately that's me; i LOVE roguelikes, but deck building...? Not so much...
The graphics are garbage.

@@Seb_No.13I was in the same camp until I tried STS. It made me like deck building.

“Slay The Spire is ruining my life” says Connor a week and a half after his 100 hour league stream
If this goes in the direction it seems to be going, slay the spire is going to take a lot more than 100 hours from this man
BALATRO NEXT
Nah he's already deep in the balatro hole. Idk if he ever streamed it or if he only playa by himself.
There's a reason Slay the Spire basically defined the entire genre. It's probably the entire reason Balatro exists and that game was nominated for GOTY.
What a baseless assumption

I love how man took Shivs and clobbered time eater. Also pummled woke bird with powers. Truly a f*ck it we ball moment
54:29 a surprise for my italian friends
Dissonanza cognitiva momento
Per un attimo ho pensato avessi fatto partire un altro video
ahahahah sono morto
FINALLY SLAY THE SPIRE VID
was waiting for the Vid after watching the VOD
Slay the Spire is one of those games you buy and immediately without realizing play until morning.
Let’s go another 1 hour movie to binge watch whilst eating
1:47 I got jumpscared by myself wtf lol
i love how in the first run the highlights were really good then all of a sudden connor had 5 new curses in his deck lol
I can NOT get enough of Chik's thumbnails, they're so damn good.
I loved it when the defect defected all over the place
Slay the spire is such a fun game, love seeing new players do their first runs
Always glad to see new players finding Slay the Spire. Hoping you get to an Ascension 20 run!
Man that thumbnail art goes hard
I remember playing Issac for the 1st time and just realising how engaging it was that pretty much everything about character could change after a pick up: constantly adjusting to different movement/attack speeds, different ranges, different hitbox sizes.
I've got to try Rebirth and Spire at somepoint.
What a banger thumbnail and video! I absolutely love STP so I love to see you enjoying it
I've been on the fence about getting back into StS before StS2 comes out, and this may be the vid that has done it. 10/10 content, would continue to watch.
Hmmm if he likes card games I wonder if someone could get him into Library of Ruina or Limbus Company
Would definitely be amazing alot of people who don't know about library of ruina yet are about to have their minds blown😅
23:57 could’ve had snecko eye with corruption deck…
Dude! Your Thumbnail game is out of this world 👏🫡 God damn ❤
Nice video as well. Will enjoy 😊
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk mentioned. Amazing.
Very good deck décisions for a first run. Impressed
That Hexaghost fight was so clutch. Anger was the MVP since it drowned the Burns lmao

Man, Slay the Spire is eternal! It's wild to see it still going strong in 2024. Just shows how perfect the gameplay loop is-pure strategy, endless replayability, and those mods keeping it fresh.
the only game with a chance to kill it is slay the spire 2
Probably not gonna see this, but Diceomancer is even more gamba and even more nuts when it pops off
Seen as you like this Connor, you'd probably like Dungeon Clawler too. Same premise but instead of cards you get items out of a claw machine instead haha
You'll like dungeon drafters too. It even has pack openings!
Big numbers reminds me of original FFVII when I finally got the hang of materia
Another one falls for the spire, I love this game so much and I’m glad you’ve gotten into it as well :]
What a chrismas gift would it be for him to do an Ascension 20 climb on the Silent I want to hear how much he loves the game again after that
I did not predict the slay the spire gameplay on the Monke channel. This game (as proven by Connor) is DAMN hard
Valgardt playing music from Jet set Radio and clips from Bomb Rush got me excited, to be disappointed.
Breach Wanderers is also a really wonderful deckbuilder roguelike game with a twist that you can modify your initial deck which most of the games in the genre doesnt or not to the extent Breach Wanderers allow.
34:06 second after image instead of phantasmal killer with blade dance in deck is crazy

The mods for this game go hard too, so many variations
Wow, the timing is great, I started playing this a couple of weeks ago and love it (even though I'm kinda bad at it). Never liked these card games before until I played Slay the Spire.
ITS SUCH A WONDERFUL GAME I CANNOT WAIT FOR Slay the spire 2!
Awesome video. Love slay the spire, perfect game to just open for twenty minutes....or 20 hours.
I'll never get tired of watching people play StS for the first time. Very good times.
this video coming out at the exact time of me wanting to buy the gameee connor wants me to get addicted on another roguelike this holiday season...
Three games i love in one vid, Slay the Spire, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Mouthwashing. All bangers go play them
Slay the Spire, the Deckbuilding Roguelike which ALL others in the genre must eternally be compared to and aspire to
Gacha Rouge-like games:released*
Connor: S O L D
19:15 I’ve never heard a man seriously consider using duplication potion on iron wave…
Now we introduce him to Balatro and see how it takes over his life.
"Love playing against the odd" Good sir please allow me to introduce Balatro to you.
Chat was a villain in this run, sabotage him to improve deck and stick to one only strategy
Hell yeah, get on STS 2 hype train
Most of my friends didn't like the PC game, but loved the boardgame
Slay the spire is sick. Glad yer enjoying it. Probably one of the best in the genre.
We, masochists, welcome you to the roguelike and roguelite games
May Laidy RNG bless you, Connor
Ayyy I just started playing this game. Perfect timing.
Was just thinking today that Connor should play StS when i was listening to this week's Trash Taste episode!!
The Defect is peak
slay the spire is one of my favourite games, followed by Roguebook. games like this itch THE SPOT, you know? glad to see you play it!
Connor always finds a way to gamble
STS 2 is on the way...
please play more games like this one sea dog!!!!!!
Lol @ sea dog, hes not a dog head shark lol. But funny haha
Edit:yes I know his different channels.
You just gotta keep trying. Its a wonderful game. The roguelite genre has some of the most precious games to me of my entire life.
It's interesting to see that Connor the exact same thoughts like myself as a beginner. Glass knife is insanely strong and as weird as it may feel exhaust is ironclads best build by a good amount
Making two vids that are an hour+ long in span of 10 days takes some talent
First time I’ve already played one of these games.
He's already addicted to slay the spire. The second he gets his hands on Balatro, we will never see him stream ever again
465.5 hours played level 20 ascension on every character. my fav card game by far. can't wait for the second one!
FINALLY SLAY THE SPIRE
Searing Blow is great if you get it very early, if not, don't bother
straight up got the game on steam cuz of this video. thanks for the good game recommendation 👍
58:00 shouldn't this be 100% more damage taken?
When's the satisfactory play through coming out?
Thanks for the christmas gift Mudan
LET'S GO GAMBILNG!!!!
oohhh yyyeaaah 1 hour of content
Great game, one of my favourites, hyped for the sequel 😁
You gotta try Spelunky 2 next to be a real rogue like try hard, W vid
You should try The Bazaar is a game like Slay the spire + TFT + Backpack Battles, is now in open beta and it's really cool :D
Another beautiful Slay the Spire like endorphin simulator - Diceomancer
Artis great and the extra mechanic pushes it so high in thinking outside the box
Goated vid ❤❤❤
That Half-Life healing sound 🥰
watching this as i play with my beloved ironclad
The spire consumes.
Enter at your own risk (to your free time)
"this game ruined my life"
mine too, monkey, mine too
Not saving this title for inevitable Satisfactory super cut video? Shaking my smh
I've seen 4 or 5 copies of the board game in the last two weeks and we'll with Christmas I'm really tempted to pick up a copy
The starting character Ironclad is just Hakuman from Blazblue and is like the best character in the game if you ask me (plays demon form card and upgrades starting artifact)
yes! my favorite card addiction! The best kind of life ruination
Should check out Across the Obelisk, could even bring Mouse along since it's a coop deck builder
I hope this leads into Connor doing a colab with FrostPrime at some point.
God
With this kind of content, it would be sick if connor play Blasphemous
>addicting
Damn, Connor really HAS become American.
Connor, I literally bought the game two hours ago wtf is this celestial timing?!
We need more slay the spire streams the 11-12 hour one wasn't enough
Just started the video and if there's no ironclad shield boy build I will rage.
10:36 I am pleased.
I was sitting here thinking Didn't he play this already??? and I'm going insane thinking about it, turns out I watched the vod
