That’s all well and good, but it can be intimidating to start playing one if you’ve only got a set time to play.
So many roguelikes sell you on the idea that they’re effectively endless as long as you continue to power up at the same rate as your opponent. What I do like about the overall design of Monster Train is that it respects the player’s time. With a number of different “decks” to attempt runs with – each with their own strengths and play styles – just about everyone will find that they have a preference. Deck construction is never overwhelming – you’ll earn these cards at a drip-feed rate over the course of a run, so you won’t need to pour over them for hours to determine the optimal deck – but it’s an appealing power creep that happens quickly anyway. The basic deck contains a few weak spells and basic units, but as you win battles and go shopping for upgrades you’ll earn new cards which will be added to your deck, and eventually, it’ll become much more potent. The real meat of the game is in the deckbuilding, and it is excellent. Either way, the next time you play you’ll be back with a basic deck and squaring off against the first wave. If you successfully repel all nine waves and defeat the final boss, then congratulations! You’ve had a successful run. Basically, it’s more like a turn-based tower defence game than a “roguelike”. Between battles, you have a limited range of different activities that you can take to upgrade your defences, the train, and your minions. You do this by summoning demons to do the fighting, and casting spells to boost them or assault your opponents. What this game actually is is a series of nine stages (with three bosses along the way) in which you need to protect the burning heart of a helltrain from invading hordes of angels. There’s permadeath, yes (lose a battle and you have to start from the beginning), and the enemies that you face along the way are pulled from a small pool of random opponents, but that’s about it. Monster Train First Class is a “roguelike deckbuilding game,” though it’s a poor roguelike at best. No details to share yet, but we will share when we can!- First Class Trouble ?
