As one of thousands of games to land on Steam in 2017, this fusion of roguelite progression and "deckbuilding" mechanics, made by a heretofore unknown development team out of Seattle, managed to become a phenomenon due entirely to word of mouth.

Yet the game has stayed an arm's length away from smartphone platforms this whole time, in spite of being built primarily using libGDX, a flexible, open source development framework with smartphone-specific hooks.

That changes this month, as the development team at MegaCrit ironically used its Steam community page on Wednesday to announce Slay the Spire's next platform: iOS.

The game's first smartphone port will launch at $9.99 "this month," according to the developers at MegaCrit, with an exact date likely coming during the upcoming Guerrilla Collective game reveal stream, currently scheduled for June 6-8.

That price will include every single feature included in the game's existing versions on PCs and consoles—with MegaCrit acknowledging, via a joke about "anime mods," that it won't include Steam Workshop features.

Though the post acknowledges plans for an Android port, MegaCrit wasn't ready to estimate when fans should expect that one; "we took the decision to launch the iOS version first.".

If you're wondering what the StS hubbub is about, consider this comment from our last feature on the game, which included a lovely interview with MegaCrit's staff about the game's genesis.
