Slay the Spire finally hit the App Store, and—as great as it is—the mobile version leaves quite a bit to be desired. This prompted us here to look back at all mobile games that have come out of the explosion of card-based roguelites that have been releasing in recent years and pick the top five games in that particular niche.

If you want to hold off on buying Slay the Spire for your phone (which we suggest you do), check out these other great titles that can deliver a similar experience.

Another year has gone by and I've found myself thinking of a new approach to how I’d like to honor my favorite games from this year. Instead of trying to stack rank games in an ordered list of ten, which seems par for the course, I decided instead to do things a little bit differently.

Slothwerks has a new game coming closer to the end of the year in the form of Meteorfall, a pretty neat looking deck-building cum roguelike fantasy RPG. The game, which also features a nice Adventure Time-esque art style, was inspired by Peter Whalen's Dream Quest, and sees players traveling around the world to collect cards and battle monsters.
