Monster Train, the acclaimed roguelite deck-building game, has finally arrived on Android after its initial release on PC in 2020, followed by consoles, and iOS in 2022. Often likened to Slay the Spire due to its genre and gameplay, Monster Train offers a unique twist that sets it apart in the mobile gaming landscape.
What Does Monster Train Bring to Android?
In Monster Train, players find themselves aboard a train bound for the icy core of hell, tasked with safeguarding the last burning pyre from celestial intruders. The game's distinctive feature is its use of three vertical lanes, requiring players to manage battles across multiple fronts simultaneously, unlike the typical single-battlefield setup found in many other games.
As you progress, you'll unlock a vast array of over 250 cards, spanning five diverse monster clans. Each clan offers unique gameplay mechanics, and you have the flexibility to combine any two clans for a personalized strategy. Every clan also features ten levels of upgrades, enabling you to enhance your cards' power through repeated use. Champions, the game's standout units, can be upgraded multiple times to become formidable forces on the battlefield.
The Android version of Monster Train includes all the latest updates, such as Wild Mutations and Friends & Foes. Wild Mutations introduces 35 new mutators and new difficulty settings, enriching the game's variety and challenge. Friends & Foes adds new champions, bosses, cards, and artifacts, expanding the game's content significantly.
Additionally, The Last Divinity DLC enhances the game's replay value with the introduction of the Wurmkin clan, unlockable after defeating Covenant level 1. This DLC also features the Pact Shards mechanic, offering players increased power and culminating in a challenging confrontation with the titular endboss, 'The Last Divinity.'
Will You Try It Out?
Monster Train on Android is fully playable offline, including in airplane mode, ensuring you can enjoy the game anytime, anywhere. The full version is available for $10, with in-app purchases primarily focused on unlocking the complete game. Once purchased through your Google account, your progress carries over across devices thanks to cloud save support. However, note that controller support is not available. You can find Monster Train on the Google Play Store and dive into this captivating roguelite experience.
