Slay the Spire is a personal favourite of this author, so news of a rogue-lite, deck-building adventure game is music to our ears. Rise of the Slime is just that ā an indie title about battling your way through the land using a selection of powerful cards.
As you can see in the above trailer, the game has a charming, stick puppet presentation that we can definitely get behind. It looks pretty simple ā playing as the titular slime, you battle all manner of baddies by accumulating cards of various types, and if you die, you start again. This being a rogue-lite, though, we presume you'll keep hold of some permanent progression.

We're definitely intrigued, so we'll be keeping an eye on Rise of the Slime when it launches later this year on PlayStation 5 and PS4. What do you think of this one? Play your cards right in the comments section below.

As a big fan of Slay the Spire. I am definitely going to keep an eye on this.
2 of my least favourite genres. Not sure why I clicked this article.
I just started playing Slay the Spire within the past few days and Iām hooked. This looks like it might be a day one buy!
This looks so much like slay the spire and I played the shoot out of that game on pc, Might get this one.
Nice one. Will definitely give a shot.
Noice. Always interested in card rogue lites. Monster Train is a great game in the genre for those that like Slay the Spire and are interested in trying another. I don't think it's as good as Spire but tbf that's like comparing other top down rogue lites to Binding of Isaac.
This looks strangely entertaining
