Slay the spire 2 review bombing continues amid balance update

Mega Crit's deckbuilding roguelike Slay the Spire 2 has been hit with a second wave of review bombing following a major update, triggering its Steam reviews to temporarily shift to 'Mixed'.

Slay the spire 2's balance changes spark outrage

The update, version 0.103.2, introduced updated art, UI and UX tweaks, clearer writing, and more, but also made a range of balance changes that have left players frustrated.

Over 4,800 negative reviews have been posted in the past 24 hours, with users primarily expressing discontent with the balance adjustments. Players in Simplified Chinese have seen their reviews shift to 'Mixed' as well, with most other languages still reflecting an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reception.

Running through the more popular reviews in Simplified Chinese, translated by Google, reveals widespread disappointment. Some have accused Mega Crit of hastily pushing out the update without sufficient consideration for fans.
