Steam's New Indie Hit Is Powered by Godot

One of the most anticipated indie games, Slay the Spire 2, is swimming in praise, with over 500,000 concurrent players enjoying it in the past 3 days. Surprisingly, the sequel to many people's favorite roguelike launched to a relatively modest 177,362 simultaneous players and grew three times that number – quite different from what usually happens.

568,884 Steam users played the game at its peak, savoring familiar mechanics, this time brought by Godot – as promised when the developers moved on from Unity after it announced its Runtime Fee.

If you want to see the game's code and assets, here is a look:

Godot is getting more popular by the day, appealing to game creators, who appreciate its open-source nature. Buckshot Roulette's developer, Mike Klubnika, for example, likes the engine's speed and the AnimationPlayer, which he used for his s.p.l.i.t hacking simulator.

Meanwhile, Slay the Spire 2 is placed first in top sellers and wishlist activity, according to SteamDB.
