Slay the Spire 2 beta adds The Fool and two game modes
Mega Crit has released its biggest beta patch yet for Slay the Spire 2, the early-access deckbuilding game.
The update adds The Fool, a musician who fights with a bow and is the first new character added during early access.
The patch also introduces Blitz, a faster mode focused on building a deck, where the map and gold are removed.
Dread adds a tougher challenge, but players must reach Ascension 10 with every character, including The Fool, to unlock it.
The update also changes balance, adds events and makes some improvements to menus and controller navigation.
The new content is on beta branches for testing before it reaches the main version, and Mega Crit expects to make further changes to The Fool.
Slay the Spire 2’s beta patch v0.113.0 adds The Fool, the game’s sixth playable character and first new Early Access character.
The update also introduces two modes, Blitz and Dread.
Blitz is a condensed mode without a map or gold, while Dread adds a harder challenge with stronger bosses and accumulating curses.
The patch includes new relics, balance changes, events and quality-of-life updates.
Mega Crit says the beta content needs extensive testing before it reaches the main branch.
