Even if there is no a definitive happily lived ever after ending to this tale, it's the process that matters and it's a fun endeavor every single time. Here's hoping that there are more fun adventures coming our way in the future.

Deathless. The Hero Quest is a solid iteration on the Slay the Spire formula. It features some of the best visuals and animations in the deck-builder genre. While gameplay sticks a little too close to the games that inspired it, it does feature a few new mechanics to make it feel just original enough to be worth playing. There are so many other fantastic roguelike deck-builders out there that it’s difficult for me to outright recommend Deathless. The Hero Quest, but if you are looking for more narrative in a genre usually void of it, Deathless. The Hero Quest is a great option with enough content and incentive to keep playing and make it worth its price.
