Monster Train Hits Android, Inspired by Slay the Spire

Monster Train arrives on Android as a fresh take on roguelike deck-building gameplay. Originally launched for PC in 2020 before expanding to consoles and iOS in 2022, this critically acclaimed title finally makes its Android debut. With its strategic depth, the game draws frequent comparisons to Slay the Spire.

What Does Monster Train Offer Android Players?

Set aboard a literal train barreling toward hell's frozen core, your mission is to defend the last remaining pyre from celestial invaders. The game innovates with its unique three-lane battle system - instead of traditional single-lane combat, you'll strategically manage multiple fronts simultaneously.

As you progress, you'll collect over 250 cards across five distinct monster clans, each offering radically different playstyles. The clan combination system allows mixing two factions per run for endless strategic possibilities. Each clan features ten upgrade tiers, progressively unlocking more powerful cards as you master them. Champions serve as your deck's cornerstone units, receiving multiple upgrade paths for customization.

The Android version delivers the complete experience, including the Wild Mutations and Friends & Foes expansions. Wild Mutations introduces 35 game-altering modifiers and additional difficulty options, while Friends & Foes expands the roster with new champions, formidable bosses, fresh cards, and powerful artifacts.

For players seeking extended replayability, The Last Divinity DLC adds the enigmatic Wurmkin clan (unlocked after reaching Covenant level 1). This expansion introduces the Pact Shards system for power progression and culminates in an epic showdown with the eponymous final boss.

Is Monster Train Worth Your Time?

The Android port offers full offline functionality, including airplane mode compatibility. Priced at $10 for the complete package, the in-app purchases primarily serve as the game's unlock mechanism - your purchase syncs across devices via Google Play. Cloud saves ensure seamless progress transfer between devices, though players should note the current lack of controller support. Monster Train is now available for download on Google Play.
