Monster Train, the innovative roguelite deck-building game, has finally made its way to Android devices after its initial release on PC in 2020, followed by consoles and iOS in 2022. Often compared to the popular game Slay the Spire due to its genre and gameplay, Monster Train brings a unique twist to the Android gaming scene.
What Does Monster Train Bring to Android?
Set on a literal train journeying into the frozen heart of hell, your mission in Monster Train is to safeguard the last burning pyre from heavenly invaders. What sets this game apart is its innovative three vertical lane system. Unlike traditional games where you battle enemies on a single battlefield, Monster Train challenges you to manage three lanes simultaneously.
As you progress, you'll unlock over 250 cards and have the opportunity to explore five distinct monster clans, each with unique playstyles. The game allows you to mix and match two clans at a time, offering a high degree of strategic customization. Furthermore, every clan features ten levels of upgrades, enabling you to access more powerful cards as you play. Champions, which are crucial to your strategy, can also be upgraded multiple times for enhanced performance.
The Android version of Monster Train comes fully equipped with all the latest updates, including the Wild Mutations and Friends & Foes expansions. Wild Mutations introduces 35 new mutators and new difficulty settings, while Friends & Foes adds new champions, bosses, cards, and artifacts to enrich your gameplay experience.
Additionally, the game includes The Last Divinity DLC, which significantly boosts replay value by introducing a new clan, the Wurmkin. To unlock them, you must conquer Covenant level 1. The DLC also features the Pact Shards mechanic, which offers enhanced power and pits you against a formidable endboss, ‘The Last Divinity.’
Will You Try It Out?
Monster Train on Android is fully playable offline, including in airplane mode, making it perfect for gaming on the go. You can purchase the full version for just $10, with in-app purchases primarily focused on unlocking the full game. Once you buy it through your Google account, your purchase seamlessly transfers across devices.
The game also supports cloud saves, ensuring you never lose your progress when switching phones. However, it's worth noting that there is no controller support. If you're intrigued, you can check out Monster Train on the Google Play Store.
