Monster Train Launches on Android: A New Deck-Building Challenge

If you're a fan of roguelite deck-building games, you're in for a treat with Monster Train, which has now made its way to Android after a successful launch on PC in 2020, consoles, and iOS in 2022. Often compared to the popular Slay the Spire, Monster Train brings its unique twist to the genre, setting itself apart with its innovative gameplay and mechanics.

What Does Monster Train Bring to Android?

Immerse yourself in a thrilling adventure aboard a train headed straight into the frozen heart of hell. Your mission? To protect the last burning pyre from heavenly invaders. What sets Monster Train apart is its unique three vertical lane system. Unlike most games where you battle in a single arena, here you'll strategize across three lanes simultaneously, adding depth and complexity to each encounter.

As you journey through the game, you'll unlock an impressive array of over 250 cards. With five distinct monster clans at your disposal, each with its own unique playstyle, you can mix and match two clans to create powerful synergies. Every clan offers ten levels of upgrades, allowing you to access increasingly potent cards the more you play them. Champions, the standout heroes of your deck, can be upgraded multiple times, making them invaluable assets in your battles.

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 to keep things fresh and challenging. Friends & Foes adds new champions, bosses, cards, and artifacts, further enriching your gameplay experience.

For even more replay value, The Last Divinity DLC introduces a new clan called the Wurmkin, which you can unlock after beating Covenant level 1. This DLC also features the Pact Shards mechanic, offering powerful boosts and culminating in a formidable endboss, 'The Last Divinity.'

Will You Try It Out?

The Android version of Monster Train is designed for convenience and accessibility. You can play it fully offline, even in airplane mode, ensuring uninterrupted gaming on the go. The full version is available for just $10, with in-app purchases primarily focused on unlocking the full game. Once purchased through your Google account, your progress carries over across devices thanks to cloud saves. Keep in mind, though, that there's no controller support for this version. Dive into the action by checking it out on the Google Play Store.
