What’s Happening

Here’s the thing: I worried about impressive the Spire 2 before its early access release because everything I saw reminded me of the original.

I understood there were differences, but they didn’t seem big enough or pronounced enough to warrant a new game. In the back of my head a sly voice wondered: had Mega Crit, creator of the game, run out of ideas? (yes, really)

No; I was wrong, and I’ve never been more pleased to admit it.

Key Takeaways

They introduce summonable helpers in the form of a large skeletal hand or a floating sword. There’s also a new reverse kind of damage called Doom, which works up from zero, killing enemies when their health drops below the threshold.
