A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee's mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that's not magic the gathering, too predatory).

Edit: Just bought slay the spire and it is really fun so far. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

  • Slay the spire
  • Monster train

I like monster train's combat better, but slay the spire has runs that are long enough to feel like you can actually take advantage of your deck building.

  • Fights in tight spaces

It's grid based tactical combat married with card game mechanics. It's very much a card game, but it's executed on a grid and you need to fight off multiple enemies using careful positioning and execution.

Fights in Tight Spaces is awesome. Randomly came across that game during a Steam sale and it was surprising and really interesting. Definitely recommend.

Whoa, that looks a lot like the Metal Gear Acid games, which I loved! Glad to have found out about this.
