Summary:

A November 1 price check of the original Slay the Spire on Steam, with edition guidance, review context and an unknown-expiry caveat.

Slay the Spire is $6.24 on US Steam, down from $24.99 (75% off), in a November 1, 2026 evening price check. The offer is for the original standalone game, with Windows, macOS and Linux versions listed. A Steam account is required.

Choose the original game, not a bundle

Use the standalone purchase option on Steam. The soundtrack and bundles cost extra, and this purchase does not include Slay the Spire 2. It is a paid game purchase, not a giveaway, subscription benefit or free weekend.

The precise sale cutoff was not independently verified. Recheck the price before checkout rather than planning around an assumed midnight deadline.

Why this is worth a look

Mega Crit's official game overview describes a single-player blend of cards and roguelike runs. Four characters bring different card sets, while changing routes and encounters give each climb a different shape. Building a deck is part of the journey rather than something finished before play begins.

This is a sensible shortlist candidate if you enjoy making small decisions that compound over a run. If repeated attempts and learning from losses sound tiring, a low price may not change that fit. Watch a little gameplay before buying and decide whether you enjoy the pace of card combat.

Strong reviews, with practical checks

Steam's English-language rating was Overwhelmingly Positive: 97% positive across 77,418 reviews. That is a dated player-review snapshot, not WupGames hands-on testing.

Check the current system requirements and Steam client support for your computer. Store availability on several operating systems is not a guarantee that every older machine remains supported.

Mega Crit's FAQ says no further content updates are currently planned for the original while the team works on its sequel. Buy this for the existing game, rather than expecting a new expansion roadmap.
