A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee's mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that's not magic the gathering, too predatory).

Edit: Just bought slay the spire and it is really fun so far. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Slay the spire
Monster train

I like monster train's combat better, but slay the spire has runs that are long enough to feel like you can actually take advantage of your deck building.

Fights in tight spaces

It's grid based tactical combat married with card game mechanics. It's very much a card game, but it's executed on a grid and you need to fight off multiple enemies using careful positioning and execution.

Fights in Tight Spaces is awesome. Randomly came across that game during a Steam sale and it was surprising and really interesting. Definitely recommend.

Whoa, that looks a lot like the Metal Gear Acid games, which I loved! Glad to have found out about this.
