unlabelledView post →ahh, I had forgotten how satisfying it is to put together a deck that utterly breaks the game, thank you Monster Train 2 and especially the little stackable mushroom boys

unlabelledView post →Recommend me a game like Slay the Spire, Spelunky, Monster Train, Binding of Isaac, Balatro etc. Something good for discharging quick bursts of energy. Must be cheap and on Steam.

unlabelledView post →I’ve already somehow put 7 hours into the Monster Train 2 demo. I might like that game.
unlabelledView post →Yo! Thanks for hanging out party people - and to @atnathanyaffe.bsky.social for the raid 💜💜💜 New internet service seems fine?! And thanks everyone for helping test it with me. Also go buy Monster Train! It's a good game.
unlabelledView post →Genuinely think what @shinyshoegames.bsky.social achieved with Monster Train 2 is nothing short of phenomenal. To create five whole new factions that not only have their own unique synergies with each other, but with all the factions from the first game? A masterclass in deckbuilder balancing.

unlabelledView post →Monster Train 2 stream is happening now. Can't believe this game is getting a sequel, so pumped. youtube.com/live/UlF1iXo...
unlabelledView post →I love Monster Train. I love Monster Train 2 just as much, if not more. This will be a game I’ll play for hundreds of hours - I’m confident saying that because if current trends continue (and they will) I’ll have cracked my first 100 by the end of the week.

unlabelledView post →I think Monster Train 2 is a very good video game.
unlabelledView post →Now that I've played two runs of Monster Train 2, I can safely say that it has the juice. I honestly thought Monster Train 1 was a near-perfect game, and it turns out I was wrong, because the sequel adds onto and improves almost every feature & mechanic. Also you can play as banker dragons.
unlabelledView post →The next Monster Train game looks amazing. (I hope nobody gets hurt)
unlabelledView post →All Aboard the Monster Train! I loved Monster Train 1 and it was one of the first games I streamed! Massive thanks to the devs for giving me a key for 2!

unlabelledView post →To clarify, it's not about whether I think StS is a better/worse game than MT/2, but rather more like "when I am playing Monster Train, I never think 'I would rather be playing Slay the Spire', when I am in a Monster Train mood I am not in a Slay the Spire mood". The question/difference is clear!
unlabelledView post →I love when game devs are open to you modding their games, especially when they even do stuff like this, highlighting some of the mods the community has made! 💜 Also I love Monster Train 2, it's probably my GotY for 2025, it's so fucking good you should play it 💜(not spon I just love this game)

unlabelledView post →Honestly? Probably coming up with a winning play in Monster Train (2) when things were looking really bad for me. I love a good roguelike that effectively becomes a puzzle game later on with its complexity 💜
unlabelledView post →So far Slay the Spire 2 feels alike to Monster Train 2 in that it is a strict upgrade from the first game.

unlabelledView post →I second FTL for a non-card game Roguelike with an incredible soundtrack. It's a soaceship management and combat game. If you want card games: Monster Train. It's Deck Building Game meets Tower Defence and its very good. Imo, its probably third best after Slay and Balatro.
