It&apos;s quite a glow up: A brief but sweet animated reintroduction to the Spire.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of the teaser, we see what I assume will be Slay the Spire 2&apos;s three launch characters: The Ironclad and The Silent, and a new skeleton character. A screenshot on Slay the Spire 2&apos;s just-launched <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2868840\/Slay_the_Spire_2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam page<\/a> reveals the skeleton to be The Necrobinder, &#8220;a wandering lich who seeks to bind the forgotten corpse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&apos;m a little sad not to see my boy The Defect, the first character I beat the original Slay the Spire with, but we don&apos;t know for sure what the roster will be. And The Necrobinder sounds cool. I&apos;m wondering if she can somehow raise dead enemies as her own minions?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Spire isn&apos;t what it used to be,&#8221; reads the Slay the Spire 2 Steam page. &#8220;All new enemies, events, and treasures await as the rooms and items you discover change each time you play&#8230; Try risky builds or play it safe as you explore countless different strategies, find yourself in peculiar scenarios, and confront the\u00a0Bosses\u00a0of each Act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like more Slay the Spire! I&apos;d probably be happy with that, but it being a sequel\u2014stylized with a Roman numeral and everything\u2014gets me wondering if developer Mega Crit has altered or evolved anything about Slay the Spire&apos;s core design, difficult as that would be with such an already-elegant game.\u00a0The listing also promises yet to be announced &#8220;new ways to play,&#8221; and maybe that&apos;s what I&apos;m looking for.<\/p>\n<p>The original&apos;s distinctive art style has been retained, though the animated teaser, which clearly had some budget behind it, suggests we might see a bit more motion. The original used screen shake to communicate quite a lot of its action, although those shorthand animations\u2014like the way characters attacked by gliding in the direction of their enemies\u2014were part of what made Slay the Spire so charismatic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row
