roguelikes such as Legend of Keepers and Inscryption.
With the direction Mega Crit Games took in deg Slay the Spire, it's unsurprising that the title has garnered a sizable fanbase. While Slay the Spire's overall challenge is, by nature, difficult to overcome, the developer made sure that the actual process rarely felt frustrating. Mega Crit embraced presentation choices that encouraged players to move forward and never feel punished, even in defeat. This atmosphere is complemented by the ease of learning card synergies and developing different decks for ascending the Spire without players feeling like they've made a wrong choice in their methods. These design choices helped Mega Crit make a beloved standout in the roguelike genre, with Slay the Spire receiving strong reviews at launch.
As reported by Nintendo Life, Redditor Darkkiller12321 discovered that Mega Crit had subtly announced that they were hard at work on their next project. The Slay the Spire developer, it turns out, hid the announcement in plain sight, posting it right into its Twitter bio, which states: "Working on our next game!" Nintendo Life further reports that Mega Crit had previously stated that its next project "wouldn't be Slay The Spire-related," and that it was "working on things." Sadly, no other information was provided beyond this official confirmation.
While not much to go on, this official confirmation is still great news for fans eagerly anticipating Mega Crit's next game. With the announcement of the Slay the Spire board game on Kickstarter a while back, one wonders if Mega Crit will try their hand at a classic board game approach for a new roguelike - assuming it is indeed a roguelike. As the developer has already expressed the desire to venture outside of Slay the Spire, perhaps the next project will also deviate from its card based gameplay. Hopefully, it won't be long for Mega Crit to provide more jucier details.
Roguelikes are difficult to get right, and often times the struggle of developers balancing these experiences between player frustration and enjoyment mirrors the difficulty players face when trying to survive them. With Slay the Spire, Mega Crit Games has proven that it's more than capable of meeting such challenges. Whatever form Mega Crit's newest project may take, its dedicated work to Slay the Spire is encouraging for fans anticipating what's next.
