‘Slay The Spire’ fan-expansion ‘Downfall’ lets players be the bosses
Slay The Spire adds a new playable class and an alternate way to play the game.The mod, called Downfall, started as a smaller project before blooming into a full expansion with its own Steam page (via PC Gamer).The mod adds a new character class called the Hermit, whose cards gain bonuses depending on where they are in the player’s hand.However, the main draw is the downfall mode. Players typically work their way up the spire defeating monstrous bosses, but in Downfall, players take control of a Boss and work their way from the top to bottom.As explained by the Steam page: “Instead of engaging in a Normal Run, you may now play in the alternate Downfall Mode, as one of seven Villain characters (with more to come!), and protect the spire from those who would harm it.“Despite there being a large number of them, these Villain characters have just as large of card pools, relics, potions, and everything else you’d expect from a complete character.
