I'm a game journalist, so it's safe to assume that I've plowed many, many hours into Slay the Spire. The seminal roguelike deckbuilder's influence is evident across countless games, from indie sensation Balatro to Hooded Horse's 9 Kings. Thanks to StS, the genre has swelled, and it now feels like I can't go 24 hours without a new roguelike deckbuilder hitting my inbox. Malys, however, is one of the few that caught my attention, partly because it's the brainchild of Dragon Age legend David Gaider, but also because its dark fantasy setting reminded me of my beloved Vampire: The Masquerade.
