Slay the Spire 2 gets its biggest update yet

Overnight, the hugely popular Slay the Spire 2 received its biggest update since its release.

In a nutshell, this update includes a new playable character called The Madman, two new game modes titled Blitz and Terror, as well as a ton of bug fixes and various changes. The full patch notes can be viewed on Steam.

The Madman is a completely crazy musician armed with a bow. The development team didn’t want to reveal any more details about his gameplay or backstory, so it’ll be up to you to discover them as you play.

Blitz mode is a condensed mode focused on deckbuilding. The merchant’s items are designed differently, there's no map, and coins no longer matter. To access this new mode, you simply need to have completed a game in Ascension.

Finally, the Terror game mode has some brutal difficulty in store. It’s reserved for those who have reached Ascension 10 with all characters and are seeking the ultimate challenge. The bosses are formidable and grant powers to all enemies, while curses pile up on the player as they progress. Have fun, as they say!
