Too much RNG(where shit spawns on the map ) and broken balance(hello bleed) make for a pretty bad roguelike card game.You guys should check Roguebook.
The most interesting are 20 Ascension runs (using custom mode) and "Daily Climb"challenges. Playing every level up to 20 is indeed boring.While I really like StS, I don't think it has enough content to warrant repeated runs. I beat it with each class, finished some ascensions and I'm already bored with it.

It was the game that introduced deck building and card battles to the steam audience. It also had a rock solid weekly update cadence which made everyone in early access feel like they were part of the development process.The enemies are so goddamn boring. There's like 5 archetypes, but even if there were a hundred their abilities are so goddamn boring. I feel like I'm playing a solitaire because I either draw the cards I need to deal with enemies or I don't. So it's all in the deckbuilding, and that makes most decks need a balanced approach, which again, yawn. I may combo draw and play the whole deck, but that's less likely and predictable than a godlike Binding of Isaac run.
Maybe I need to up the difficulty level, but I don't believe that'll unlock new AI or skills.

I like it, but I agree that encounter design is probably the weakest part of the game. While each enemy has a unique mechanic, the game never mixes and matches different enemies. You're always fighting the same static encounters. There's a mechanic where enemies can surround you (making you take more damaged from the enemy you have your back turned to), but bizarrely, there's only a single encounter in the entire game that utilizes this mechanic.I'm coming back to StS after a few years and I still don't get this game's hype. I've added the top mods, packmaster, downfall, spire biomes...and I'm still bouncing off it. I finish every run that goes past the first boss.

That's disheartening. I had some hope for Erannorth Chronicles but it never picked up.That being said, it's still by far the best game of its kind. It's spawned endless clones, but none of them have the same variety of different deck builds and interesting synergies. The mechanics I've seen in Slay the Spire clones come across as gimmicky and convoluted without adding real depth.I'm coming back to StS after a few years and I still don't get this game's hype.
