Description
Been playing Monster Train for a couple months now. It’s basically a roguelike deck-building game where you gotta protect this burning pyre from heavenly forces. Sounds wild, I know. But it’s actually really fun. And
Here’s what you do: you build up your deck of monster cards, upgrade your powerful champions, and fend off waves of enemies. There’s also these different monster clans with their own unique playstyles – it’s got tons of strategic depth without being too overwhelming. And the vertical level design is a cool twist on the usual tower defense stuff.
Look, if you’re into strategy games and deck-builders, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the upgrades can get a bit grindy at higher levels – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want an addictive new game to sink your teeth into.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Monster Train. I've tested a bunch of strategy games and deck-builders, and this one's a pretty solid addition to the genre. The clan-based gameplay adds a lot of replayability, and I dig the unique vertical level design. It's not reinventing the wheel, but it executes the core loop really well. The only downside is that the progression can get a bit grindy after a while, but if you don't mind that it's a pretty polished experience overall.
