Slay the Spire 2 devs walk back the nerf that sparked 10,000 negative Steam reviews, and shovel buffs at The Regent after fans determine he's the worst class by a mile

The Regent from Slay the Spire 2.

Last week, Slay the Spire 2 got a controversial balance patch which – despite the fact that this is an early access game still likely to get a billion similar updates before it went 1.0 – earned developer Mega Crit a massive review bomb. The devs have tried to remind players that "no change is necessarily permanent," and that's certainly the case here, as they're already rolling back the controversial changes from the last patch.

"Reminder that nothing in the beta branch is set in stone," developer Anthony Giovannetti says in the Steam announcement, "expect lots of back and forth, and above all please let me know what you think by using the in-game feedback tool by hitting F2! I read countless pieces of player feedback and it has been instrumental in helping guide our process."
