Not who you asked, but I just binged that game hard so I’m gonna answer anyway. Monster Train is a frustrating game. In some ways I like it more than Spire, but it feels shallow, like it needs something to make it more substantive. That said, I’m definitely worse at it than I am at Spire, which may be coloring my impression

I have the opposite opinion. It completely dethroned StS for me. Way cooler wombo-wombo potential and the mix&match of clans and leaders gives tons more replayability.

I agree there’s more meaningful permutations for replay in Monster Train, and that is indeed excellent. I just feel like there’s more randomness vs skill/strategy at play in Monster Train than Slay the Spire. Or again, maybe I’m just not as good at Monster Train? Either way, both games are very good and I’d highly recommend either to almost anyone.

Well MT2 did go into a bit more narration, on top of doubling the clans & leaders :)

I like it as a more relaxing version of Slay the Spire. I’m not great at either though, so take what I say with more than a few grains of salt. I feel like I can see the combos Monster Train wants more easily than in Slay the Spire, where I sometimes feel like I’m tricking the system OR the Spire is trying to trick me by offering something remoting that doesn’t quite work with my deck.
