Mega Crit co-founder Casey Yano is actively playing modern roguelikes.

Mega Crit shared on Reddit which roguelikes influenced Slay the Spire and the upcoming Slay the Spire 2.

Studio co-founder Casey Yano admitted that the team is a little sad that they can't perceive their own game the same way fans do.

We are flattered that people consider it one of the best in the genre, but as developers, we can no longer experience the same thing.

At the same time, he emphasized that he actively plays modern roguelikes — some of them inspired the first part, others have already influenced the sequel, and some simply bring pleasure.

Among Yano's favorite projects are Ball x Pit, Blue Prince, Dead Cells, Elden Ring Nightreign, FTL: Faster Than Light, Hades, Inscryption, Luck be a Landlord, Noita, Nova Drift, Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, and The Binding of Isaac. According to him, the roguelike genre is ideal for carefully studying game mechanics and their variability.
