Good - but not quite Slay the Spire
I'm 6 runs in now and this game is definitely a ton of fun. They took the general idea of Slay the Spire (rogue-lite deck builder) and added their own twists enough that it feels like it's own unique game despite the StS influence throughout. As I've run out of much left in StS, I can see this game taking over as my 1-2 times per week fun relaxation game. It definitely scratches that same itch. The reason I'm giving only 4* instead of 5 is because it follows the slay the spire outline but falls short in two key areas: 1. Story: StS has an incredible unique world with mystery and intigue both into the first 'victory' and long after. It was never particularly deep but is far more interesting than Monster Train. That being said, this type of game doesn't need a story to be interesting, but it's a step down in that department and clearly didn't have as long of an incubation/planning period as StS (I'm sure they rush to get the next StS clone to market and I can't blame them for that). 2. Challenge: This game clearly has an abundance of challenges to keep players interested well into the future, but so far I don't feel I'm learning as I go in the same way as with StS. This may be a result of my putting in over 100 hours on StS so I'm learning more quickly, but I came into this game with no idea of how it played (aside from 'StS-like deck builder on a train') and I was able to beat it on my second attempt. This doesn't ruin the game due to so many items to unlock, difficulty increases and alternative play-types, but for a rogue-like game to be so easy to beat, I was left a bit dissapointed (I was surprised when the game suddenly ended) If you enjoyed StS then you'll enjoy this game as it's definitely worth your money. But if you haven't played StS, go buy that first (they have a mobile version now) and move over to Monster Train when you get bored.
