Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Sep 13 → 1.5/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
There is something so perfect and magical about this game. Slay the Spire gets a lot of credit, but I believe Monster Train's added placement/level mechanics adds so much to the genre.
Had a few drinks and didn't realise I was attacking my own characters. 10/10

Being a roguelite deckbuilder, it is very similar to Slay the Spire in gameplay. But unlike StS where several less than perfect choices can easily ruin your run, Monster Train focuses on forging yourself into an unstoppable powerhouse. The interesting concept of mixing two clans creates multitudes of unique synergies. Game-breaking combinations exist in droves and it is up to you to experiment and discover them. This game is not as tightly balanced than StS, with many runs highly dependent on luck. There is always randomness to games like this, but it sometimes feels nigh impossible to optimize your choices to find a way to win. Nonetheless, for a casual player like me, successfully amassing exodia in my deck and steamrolling all foes is still exhilarating as ever.
大二的暑假，我在学校导师的实验室当一个小透明留校。舍友都已经回家，一个人在寝室过着昼夜颠倒的生活，有那么几个晚上无所事事，想通关这个游戏的高进阶，在万籁俱寂的黑夜中抓牌、附魔、和虚拟的敌人鏖战。玩着玩着东方渐白，也就是在那段时间，我真正爱上了深夜三四点的那种深沉的宁静。彼时信心满满地打算保研，和前女友的感情也还幸福，或许是前途的光明反而让我对黑夜痴迷和好奇吧？这款游戏与我而言不仅仅是一个设计优秀的卡牌游戏，更是一段迷幻时光的标记，现在想来挺不真实的。
Clearly I am in the wrong given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, but I don't understand what makes it so good. The builds are not terribly fun and driving synergy between the different clans/cards is not intuitive and boils into frustration given some ill-balanced mechanics and overwhelming bad implementation of RNG. Even for the $2.50 sales price, I feel like I overpaid and am just rewarded with frustration.
It's OK. Pretty braindead, to be honest. I mostly played it while I was too hungover to think. Music was fine, one or two songs were memorable, the rest are what is best described as "serviceable." I also thought the aesthetics of the game were really dumb, which didn't help my impression of it. The gameplay can give you this sense that you're doing something at first, but after a while you realize that your creatures and spells rarely synergize in any interesting way. Too much focus was put on the board, maybe. What's left is a game that feels half-deckbuilder, half-tower defense, and isn't very good at either. It's certainly an overrated game, and I'm not sure why. Whenever I see someone name drop it as "one of the greatest deckbuilders ever" it kind of makes me question the validity of everything they say after.
类杀戮尖塔，美术精美，三层式战场很独到，刷精通卡框、氏族融合（极大的丰富了战术和玩法）和卡组日志系统的设计也都值得好评，这三个设计同类游戏都可以借鉴。不过好玩是好玩，但平衡性还是不如尖塔，不仅废卡很多，通关也极度依赖多重攻击和战旗质量，如果前期开局不利，后期基本没操作空间，通关率高的都是前期强势可以抢资源的氏族组合，也间接导致强势套路比较固定，所以我基本没有动力刷全氏族的精通卡框（很多时候得故意带张废卡才能刷到）。 PS：记得买DLC，内容很多，可以说几乎换了个游戏。
以前我不喜欢卡牌游戏，直到我遇到火车，原来我不喜欢的是小作文、范围值和一上来一大堆机制糊脸，因为这些火车都没有。 火车每个氏族都有自己的特色机制，一句话能讲清楚每个词条，自己摸索起来很舒服。战斗方面很爽不墨迹，氏族组合多达30种，要是算初始卡更是多达120种。 新人推荐不要去看什么流派的视频，自己摸索然后适当看卡牌评价类攻略，玩多了会发现有些局内会出现很抽象但是很有意思的组合。而要是光看什么流派视频roll开局的话，这个游戏的寿命会大幅下降，而且对自己游戏理解帮助甚微。
I could keep playing this for 50 more hours but I need to move on! Just a fantastic deckbuilder all-around. Every clan has a special mechanic and mixing and matching different clans kept me hooked. and the music is just excellent
差评，每次论文写一段就奖励自己玩一关，然后不知不觉就通关了，极大的降低了我的工作效率
