Monster Train

/

太好玩了，怪不得和杀戮尖塔齐名。确实是非常有意思的一个肉鸽模式，但模仿怪物火车的游戏比起尖塔少了几个数量级，太可惜了。还想玩玩别的开发者做到火车like

好玩

Extremamente viciante e com alto valor de rejogabilidade

Choo Choo, coming through!

Monster Train is a very, very good game. It's inferior in most aspects to Slay the Spire, although not in all. Design wise it's heavily leaning toward combinations - less cards per ensemble, but out of the box ability to combine two ensemble that is not just a quasi-gimmick like the prismatic shard in Slay the Spire but actually designed for that. Similarly the playing board has extra dimensions - floors, numbers of entities on both sides - while the card play itself is more limited (although still very much existent and deep). Art is nothing remarquable although it's reasonably pleasant. Music is catchy. While I prefer StS on all of those aspects, it's a matter of taste. What is not though is the fact that the UI is way less polished/well thought than Slay the Spire, by far my biggest issue with the game. It's nothing disastrous but coming from StS, oof. Issues include inability to see the whole board at once (for no reasons other than aresthetic at the -severe- expense of clarity and responsiveness - a major crime shared by Inkulinati, who thinks those constant zoom in zoom out are any good? Jesus.), discard UI that has the wrong trajectory for card pick making discarding the wrong one the default results if you don't circle around things, an enthousiasm for playing card you released 34 thousands mile away from away from a floor after deciding you didn't want to play it on that floor (which it absolutely will nonetheless). In general they were many other things that could have been done but weren't so that the information was less bloated. Lots of numbers without bars, lack of hierarchy in the tool tips... make it very easy to miss informations and give up on learning by the game rule, instead just trying stuff. Which is... doable but StS precisely shown that you could be *actually playing* the game from the first minute, having all the information you need to make decisions. It does share a cons with StS which is no undo/restart the fight but it's vastly more problematic because of the above, the facts that a lot of the time you have to play ♥♥♥♥ to simply get the rule the tool tip wasn't 100% clear about etc. Nothing bad in itself but it's a bit dumb to have to quit to the main menu en re enter the game to restart it. While this all may sound negative let me reiterate this is down the line a brilliant game though. It's *extremely* catchy, packed with interesting mechanics and a solid execution of those. The cost in money is nothing here, it's more about how willing you are to put your finger in the cogs and get eaten by the game. Although from what I understand the endgame isn't eternal like StS, but it sure is hundreds of hours of great fun. Unquestionably worth buying.

this is so good...

There is no way to make any of your cards stronger to start with and just the 1st fight the enemies are strong enough to wipe out your whole team. It's just one big RNG fest to get a good run and waste of time!
