Slay the Spire 2 Early Access
*Slay the Spire 2* is now in Early Access on Steam [https://www.dualshockers.com/slay-the-spire-2-early-access-preview/], featuring multiplayer co-op [https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/892210/slay-the-spire-2-co-op-multiplayer] and no microtransactions [https://www.gamespot.com/articles/slay-the-spire-2-devs-wont-add-microtransactions-even-though-fans-would-pay-for-them/].
The addition of multiplayer co-op is a major change from the original *Slay the Spire*. This allows players to team up and tackle the spire together, adding a new layer of strategy and social interaction to the game. Mega Crit Games has committed to avoiding microtransactions in *Slay the Spire 2*, despite acknowledging that some players would be willing to pay for them. This decision reflects a desire to maintain a fair and balanced gameplay experience. The early access release allows the developers to gather feedback and refine the game based on player input. This iterative approach can lead to a more polished and engaging final product.
