Listen up, you infinite-combo-chasing deck-thinning degenerates: Slay the Spire 2 is still slaying with over 200k peak concurrent players on Steam, but a horde of pissed-off Chinese players is review-nuking it into Mixed territory because devs dared to nerf their precious OP god decks. We're talking the April 16 patch that bitch-slapped those broken infinites, buffed the Doormaker boss, and made early-game survival actually matter again—turning their 'win button' cheese into a sad participation trophy. These rage-fueled review bombers dropped thousands of negative ching-chong rants, tanking recent reviews to Mostly Negative while English filters stay a pristine Very Positive 94%. Pathetic.

Game's in Early Access since March 5, pulled a monster 574k all-time peak, and even now averages 100k+ CCU because the rest of the world knows a balanced roguelike deckbuilder slaps harder than some cheese strat circlejerk. MegaCrit already walked back nerfs after the first March beta backlash bomb, posting 'trust the process' manifestos and tweaking baseline difficulty for accessibility without gutting high-Ascension pain. But nooo, these cultural tantrum-throwers treat Steam reviews like their personal dev hotline, flooding Simplified Chinese with 75k Mostly Negative turds out of 77k total because 'muh infinites are the meaning of life.'

Devs like Casey Yano called it a 'cultural thing'—players feeling unheard so they spam F-grade feedback like it's Bilibili comments. Meanwhile, the game's addictive multiplayer and strategic depth have critics and normies hooked, with 83k Very Positive reviews in other languages proving the core experience is fire. Review bombing a banger EA title over balance tweaks? That's not feedback, that's skill issue copium exploding in your face. MegaCrit, keep the nerf hammer swinging—these whiners can uninstall and cry into their thinned decks.

Second wave hit after April 16 main branch changes from beta, with over 4,800 negs in one day mostly from China. Pirat_Nation on X nailed it: filter English, back to 94% glow-up. X posts roast the regional review war burying global scores.
