Quick text summary

Slay the Spire scored 83/100 on Steam Analyser — Good for a Steam capsule. Top priority fix: [contrast_color] Add a subtle dark rim light or glow edge to the Ironclad warrior silhouette to improve separation from the dark background at small and tiny sizes

  • Brand Consistency: 9/10

Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Add a subtle dark rim light or glow edge to the Ironclad warrior silhouette to improve separation from the dark background at small and tiny sizes
  2. [title_readability] Slightly increase the size or weight of 'the' within the logo so the full three-word title reads as a unit at tiny thumbnail size
  3. [composition] Pull the character silhouette slightly left away from the right edge to reduce crop risk in Steam's various capsule display formats
  4. [genre_clarity] Consider ensuring at least two or three clearly readable card faces remain visible even at small size to preserve the deckbuilder genre signal

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace the duplicate opening paragraph in the detailed description with a sentence about deck synergy or the core strategic tension (e.g., 'Every card you choose shapes your deck's strengths—but also its weaknesses').
  2. [uniqueness] Add a sentence explaining the character system: 'Each of the four characters plays entirely differently, with unique cards and relics that force you to adapt your strategy.' This reinforces what sets the game apart.
  3. [feature_communication] Expand the Relics paragraph to explain one concrete example of synergy: 'A relic might double your card draw or reduce spell costs, but powerful relics often demand gold or health as payment—forcing you to decide if the power is worth the price.'
