Mega Crit has released a significant Slay the Spire 2 patch for the game's beta branches, with a host of impactful content that will need extensive testing before reaching the main branch. This update introduces The Fool, a whimsical new character in Early Access. The Fool is a humorous bow-wielding musician who must navigate the Spire and players must work out strategies and storylines for the character.
The update also brings two new game modes: Blitz and Dread. Blitz is a fast-paced, chaotic deckbuilding mode with no map and no importance of Gold, while Dread is a tough difficulty mode for characters who have reached Ascension 10, with stronger bosses, enemy buffs, and more curses. Additionally, several balance tweaks and quality of life improvements have been made, including earlier rest sites, new events in Underdocks and Acts 2 and 3, and improved controller navigation.
