New Clans, New Cards, New World

Monster Train 2 takes the format that you know, love, and have sunk thousands of hours into and transforms it into something brand new. Defend your Pyre Heart with the strength of five all new clans (Banished, Pyreborne, Lazarus League, Luna Coven, & Underlegion), game-changing Room and Equipment cards, Celestial Alcoves, Active Abilities, and countless new ways to upgrade your run as you ride the rails through Heaven. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2742830/a05741fe8485ee0c0a46510a5c28902fe9ecd287/ss_a05741fe8485ee0c0a46510a5c28902fe9ecd287.600x338.jpg?t=1747206948

Modes, Modes, and more Modes

Once you’ve gotten a hang of Monster Train 2’s new cast and cards, it’s time to see what else is out there. That’s where Monster Train 2’s myriad new modes come in. See how far you can make it with a brand new Endless mode, conquer your friends list and climb the global leaderboards with the ever-changing Daily Challenge mode, or if you’re feeling truly bold, tackle the daunting Dimensional Challenges hand-crafted from the minds of our most sadistic developers. We considered the original Monster Train to be “endlessly replayable” - with all of these new ways to play, we think Monster Train 2 is leaning closer to “eternally replayable”. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2742830/7130df5da4beb995724f8209ff986704730b51ee/ss_7130df5da4beb995724f8209ff986704730b51ee.600x338.jpg?t=1747206948

Ticket to Ride

So I know what you’re thinking. “Wow! Between the new gameplay possibilities to master, modes to explore, and the state of *gestures around* everything else happening in the world, it only makes sense that Monster Train 2 would be more expensive! A copy of Monster Train 2 must cost a million, nay, a bajillion dollars!” No way. We’re happy to share that Monster Train 2 launches on May 21 for $24.99. The same price as the original Monster Train when it launched exactly five years ago to the day. And for you OG Monster Train owners out there (if you’re reading this that’s almost certainly you) things get even better. During launch we’ll be running a Monster Train + Monster Train 2 bundle offering a sweet discount to those picking up both games at once. But since you already own the game you’ll simply be getting the discount no questions asked. Why? Hell, why not? If you’re a Monster Train fanatic wanting to go the extra mile, we will also have the Monster Train 2 Supporter Pack Bundle available starting day one. This bundle includes the base game along with the entire Monster Train 2 Original Soundtrack and an exclusive Digital Compendium. Jam out to MT2’s tough-as-nails musical score while getting a glimpse at previously unseen renditions of MT2’s ghoulishly gorgeous world and characters featuring page after page of art, wallpapers, and more. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2742830/876156c2713a52c2150cc5acfd628cf351e95e77/ss_876156c2713a52c2150cc5acfd628cf351e95e77.600x338.jpg?t=1747206948

Go to Heaven

Quite frankly, we can’t wait for you to see what Monster Train 2 has in store. Whether you’re using MT2 to hop on to the Monster Train for the first time, or you’re one of our daily commuters: Thank you for being here. Next stop: launch. - Shiny Shoe & Big Fan Games https://store.steampowered.com/app/2742830/Monster_Train_2/

Overview

Going into Monster Train 2, we had better connections and had made friends with folks at other studios who had played our games. This gave us an opportunity to reach out to some folks who we were fans of Monster Train to ask if they’d be up to let us work with them as part of Monster Train 2. Fortunately a few of our favorites said yes and so we set to work making these crossovers happen. We knew the right place in Monster Train 2 to put them was where surprises happen on every run: the ‘event system’ (aka., the Concealed Caverns in Monster Train 1 and Celestial Alcove in Monster Train 2). We also have some useful tools in this system to make sure our crossovers don’t show up too much, we get to define their frequency against each other, and also we can set it up so they don’t show up in the earliest runs a player does in their career, making sure the player is fully immersed in Monster Train before they start to experience some of these wilder or weirder events.

Richard Garfield Collaboration

Here at Shiny Shoe we are big fans of Richard’s work on Magic the Gathering and other board and card games. Plus he was a Monster Train 1 fan! So we knew when we were making the sequel we had to reach out and see if he’d be up to design a little something for us. The result was the Wonderous Boxes event! He came to us with an idea where the goal was to make every choice explode into even more options and we loved it. With a little iteration going over theme and implementation it turned into the event you see before you today.

Balatro

The legendary jokers and the Cavendish/Gros Michel are iconic and fun, and since they were passives, fit in neatly as artifacts. The hard part came in balancing their wild powers in the context of Monster Train. For example, in Balatro, Canio gives a 1X mult when a face card is destroyed. Since we don’t have ‘face cards’ or ‘mults’, we had to break down the core idea of the Canio which is essentially: “Get a bonus on card removal”. Then we translate that idea into the mechanics of Monster Train. As a result, in our game, Canio gives gold whenever you purge a card.

Inscryption

If you're visiting us at PAX East this weekend, you may have noticed a familiar face on the side of the Big Fan booth. Inscryption also had random events on their map like ours, and we talked about adapting a few options (like the Villagers). Then we looked towards sigils that work similarly to our upgrades, and realized those would be the most natural fit. Of course, since it’s Inscryption, we needed to add a secret to the event (but we won’t reveal that here). It took our playtesters the course of a week or so to solve it, but with more of you out there maybe it will go faster with a little coordination.

Cult of the Lamb

We knew we wanted to use the Red Crown and let any character ‘become the lamb’. In their game, the Red Crown gives the lamb immortality and transforms into weapons that the lamb uses. So, in our game, the Red Crown gives you Endless and equips the character with a random weapon. Of course, the Red Crown also comes with your own loyal cultist followers. We knew we wanted to make these followers start off weak, as a tradeoff for taking the Red Crown. But although the followers have very low stats, with 1 attack and 1 health, they also have Multistrike 2, which can make them extremely strong if you decide to strengthen your cult.

Inkbound

A collaboration with our own game! The idea of characters from Inkbound diving into an inkwell and landing in the world of Monster Train has been a small joke we’d tossed around occasionally. In fact, there are already some small nods to Monster Train in Inkbound. So when it got around to Monster Train 2, since we were already doing crossovers, having one with Inkbound was a no-brainer. We picked a handful of vestiges from Inkbound and updated their mechanics to fit in Monster Train, which was surprisingly straightforward. Nib & Bin are also in the event, who have seemingly entered Monster Train through the inkwell portal. We thought it would be neat to imply that the worlds of Monster Train and Inkbound are connected. Because they technically are, they’re made by the same people! --- Monster Train 2's collaborations come from our love of fellow deck builders, indie games, and the unique gameplay possibilities they bring to our players. While you almost certainly won't encounter these random events on every playthrough, we hope their presence comes as a fun surprise to spice up your run.

Multiply your run wins with the help of the Jokers of Balatro! Swing by a Celestial Alcove for a chance encounter with Jimbo, who is more than happy to lend you their powers! Jokers are artifacts, giving unique effects that can change the entire flow of your run. Buff your Pyre Heart with Triboulet, who gives a permanent health boost for each rare card in your deck, or Chicot who ensures you’re paid for each card you purge. There are many jokers hopping on the Monster Train from the world of Balatro, how you use their powers is up to you! Hedge your bets and stack your pile of winnings higher than the heavens! Play with fate and fortune when Monster Train 2 hits PC, Xbox Series X|S, Playstation 5, and Nintendo Switch on May 21st! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2742830

Hi, everyone!! Thank you so much to everyone who has played the Monster Train 2 demo and submitted feedback on the game. Leading up to Monster Train 2’s launch on May 21st, 2025, we’ve integrated many of your suggestions into the game. Since there have been so many changes to the game, we wanted to update the demo so it fits the current version of the game more closely. Plus, players who are interested get a little sneak peek before Monster Train 2's launch. So, without further ado, here are just a few changes we’ve made to the demo:

• Updated balance: buffs and nerfs on a variety of cards, artifacts, and enemies.
• Fixed several edge case gameplay bugs.
• Dualism redesigned to only affect buffs and debuffs.
• Strike now only applies when attacking or using an ability.
• Max unit cap per room increased from 6 to 7.
• Improved visuals in a variety of areas.
• Added support for sorting your Deck.
• Improved controller/keyboard navigation support in a variety of ways.
• Fixed reported Undo Turn bugs.
• Added clarification that you must choose a path on the map first before you can collect rewards. This is how it worked in MT1 but changes to the map visuals in MT2 made it less clear in some situations. We think this UI change improves clarity.
• Increased contrast and reduced visual business of some areas on the map of Heaven.
• Added a confirmation step before merging equipment so you can review the outcome before spending the gold.
• Added an indicator next to the End Turn button if you have any unused unit abilities as a reminder that you might want to use them. Also clicking this button moves the camera to a room with an unused ability.
• Added intro FMV that bridges the story from MT1 to MT2.
• The first story character dialogue now happens after the first run.
• New and updated music.
• Updated the Run Summary screen to fit many more cards without pagination.

These are just a few of the changes we’ve made to both the demo and the game in general. All these improvements are possible because you, the amazing players of Monster Train 2’s demo, submitted feedback and let us know how we could improve it. For this new demo, please continue to give us feedback! I hope that these improvements make the demo all the more fun and thank you for supporting the Shiny Shoe team.

My name is Cami and I am the Community Manager at Shiny Shoe. You might have seen me during one of our weekly dev streams or hanging around the Shiny Shoe Discord server as ‘ShinyCami.’ This week, I’m taking over the dev blogs and putting on my game designer hat to talk about the cutest clan (in my opinion) in all of Monster Train 2: the Underlegion! Don’t let their cute faces deceive you, the Underlegion is one of the most formidable clans in Hell. Spawned from the putrid soils of a forest on the edges of Limbo, this clan has many dangerous characteristics beneath the surface. Led by the incomparable Madame Lionsmane and her trusted right-hand mushroom, Bolete the Guillotine, Madame Lionsmane has a slew of followers who adore her and her odorous perfumes. Mistress of the olfactory poisons, Madame Lionsmane disarms her enemies with her fumes before she strikes. Also, can we all just appreciate her outfit?! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/7f5a29d9d4d0a46918df30aeb1c19bd5ac475f1c.png First Underlegion champion: Madame Lionsmane One of her starting Abilities is Maneating, which has a cooldown of two turns and applies Decay and Sap to one unit. She also has Spawn at Incant. Spawn is a focal feature of the Underlegion clan that you’ll see again and again. In the example below, I chose for Madame Lionsmane to have the starting Trigger “Incant: Spawn 1,” meaning that every time I use a spell card, she spawns a unit. But what unit? Well, that is where my all-time favorite unit comes in: the Funguy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/e56aeac850b18ba7f78f2ebeb1327b38a56f2b23.png Funguy Every time an allied Underlegion unit uses Spawn, a Funguy unit will appear. This one shown below is the first unit I spawned after using one of Madame Lionsmane’s starting Trigger: which is to spawn one Funguy whenever I play a spell card on her floor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/59e7b6fdaa5cad4835e56450579367413e132368.png Madame Lionsmane’s Tooltips {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/4ee7985cd329710b06671e4e8fc77df11066192c.png Funguy spawned after playing a spell card on the floor with Madame Lionsmane. As I use more spell cards, the more Funguy are spawned. Below, I have shown what happens after I play multiple spell cards on the same floor. As you can see, Troop stacks and Funguy gains health and attack damage with each stack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/f6d1a6384c71b753b3a2cb770ba592815cd633d0.png Funguy unit with Troop 2 However, the unit loses said stacks when it takes damage. Below, you’ll find before and after images of when Funguy takes damage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/dd32a1740cca826a53b8ecff856a998c0af3afd6.png Funguy with Troop 1 As you can see, after losing 4 health, the unit loses one stack of Troop. Other Underlegion units also have the Spawn mechanic. Take, for example, the Green Recruit which Spawns two Funguys when killed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/dda9a3ec0f6049d6d0f4884158411ceb09c3cd02.png Underlegion shroom unit card: Green Recruit Or Room Cards, such as Infectory, which spawns one Funguy unit whenever a unit without Troop dies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/c4df739b172e5b9d618c2e24b557fbf8a3eb7032.png Underlegion room card: Infectory As you can see you cannot kill the Funguy in a way that matters. The second of three core mechanics of the Underlegion clan is Decay. Born from the roots of the Fatal Elm tree, the Underlegion’s Shrooms often can apply Decay to their enemies. Decay slowly chips away at an enemy until they are overcome by its rotting power. More specifically, Decay deals 3 damage per stack at the end of your turn. While not an immediate damage mechanic, stacking decay on enemy units can be a game changer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/2438979a985bb03800fd73ce58eba99c7ed6e2c8.png Underlegion shroom unit card: Cheery Deathcap And, finally, the third core Underlegion mechanic: Propagate. Propagate increases the stack count of Buffs on friendly units and Debuffs on enemy units. To better illustrate this, check out the spell card Proliferate below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/0e2cee209339bbfade007bf27801d6b186326b21.png Underlegion spell card: Proliferate With the spell card Proliferate, all units get Propagate 2 immediately. So, for example, if I have friendly units with Valor, that Buff will increase by two. Propagate will also work for Troop and Decay, which, with the Underlegion clan, can be a huge advantage. The Underlegion is a dynamic and complex clan that has lots to uncover and plenty of variability. Honestly? It’s my favorite clan (but don’t tell Luna Coven). The characters are a little bit terrifying but mostly formidable, the core mechanics are not too complex that you can’t get a good run but not too easy that it feels impossible to master, and the Funguy is adorable! Oh, and did I mention that the Underlegion has a dog named Truffles? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/2da6dd2e4f1a35fd52d07767d653d4d71059ecc8.png Underlegion Shroom unit card: Truffles If you’re interested in learning more, I’ll be playing this clan with Avarem on Friday, April 25th, 2025 at 12:00 PM PST on Twitch. I'll also be sending out more sneak peeks in our Shiny Shoe newsletter before Monster Train 2's launch on May 21st, 2025! I hope you’ll love the Underlegion as much as I do and thank you so much for reading!

I’m Albert A. from the design crew. Today I’m here to introduce one of the clans in Monster Train 2, the Luna Coven! Below, you’ll find Ekka, leader of the Luna Coven. A powerful magic wielder, she was present for the tragic destruction of the Coven’s home beyond Heaven. She is also one of the few champions who has seen first hand the corrupting force enveloping Heaven. Perhaps that is why her home was targeted. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/a9aa1ee6af0b57e72aca7d4746e7e1310ee9df10.png Ekka, Luna Coven's main champion She is accompanied by the second Luna Coven champion: Arduhn, Guardian of the Coven and personal guard to Ekka. He too, remembers the tragic fall of the Coven’s homeland and has made it his mission to return to Coven to the skies once more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/db4cadf30c48bb9fc9bc8fb1da48ab7bf59433ae.png Arduhn, second champion of the Luna Coven As you might have guessed, the Luna Coven are not original denizens of Hell or Heaven. They come from a place far beyond Heaven and hints of their origins are found throughout the game. The Luna Coven clan was designed around the theme of balance between darkness and light, good and evil, the full moon and the new moon. From the beginning, players can see this balance at play with Ekka’s starter card, Witchweave. This card has dual properties and can be used to heal allies or cause damage to enemy units. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/2c9843811a0c29e6a454680a46103020f8916aa5.png Ekka’s starter card, Witchweave The Luna Coven utilizes magic power and spells to defeat their enemies, all while tapping into the mercurial power of the moon. The clan has a unique mechanic, each turn during combat the moon changes phases between New Moon and Full Moon. Some cards allow you to manipulate the current phase of the moon, in order to set up certain spells or units. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/a31f4f720bbb307dec4e359347c336fd66a3f959.png Luna Coven spell card: Moonrise Certain cards gain bonuses based on the current moon phase, or whenever the moon changes phases. Mooncycle, shown below, triggers when the moon changes phases between turns. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/8e4e0ed991572ad90e372ea62d0539c0e87f448e.png Luna Coven spell card: Starstruck {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/3788782671da4af2c9bfdac4aa278d954ac6cfc8.png Luna Coven Equipment Card: Luna Cyclestaff Since the clan focuses on spell-slinging, there are various ways to make your spells more powerful than they already are. We already discussed one method, which was through utilizing the current phase of the moon. Another way to build up powerful spells is through a new status effect called Conduit, which you can apply to units, and which grants Magic Power for every stack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/599df627d270d9c5917684683f714fb0c02ef04b.png Luna Coven spell card: Moon Ritual Conduit isn’t only useful for spells. Units can also benefit from magic power as well! For example, with the card Moonlit Glaive, an equipment card that uses Magic Power to boost a unit’s attack. In the case of Moonlit Glaive, the equipment gives Mageblade 3. Mageblade increases a unit’s attack by +1 for each Magic Power on the floor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/f11b0a0c417abf95cc035c9fea2174ec89293dfc.png Luna Coven Equipment card: Moonlit Glaive And here’s another card,The Planetarium, which offers blanket boosts to Magic Power by granting all friendly units Conduit 5. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/0372bf7819ae29eb1245e5746edcb07cd683abd8.png Luna Coven Room card: Planetarium The Luna Coven is also where we as the designers first stepped away from the card designs of Monster Train 1 and took on a more experimental approach. Take, for example, the following: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/d18f3b3186adc6ee87a923abb9fc04286504df09.png Luna Coven spell card: Heavenfall Heavenfall can affect all floors during the full moon. This ability was not present in any Monster Train 1 card and we were very excited to incorporate it into this sequel. The Luna Coven is a magic casting clan, but not everything is about Magic Power, there are cards that have other ways of manipulating spells. For example, Stardust Invocation can copy spells which are made Ephemeral, meaning players have until the end of their turn to use the copied spell. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/4729fb1c88900a0c37f3bd0b39b5c1f12d827359.png Luna Coven card: Stardust Invocation Thank you so much for reading and I hope you will have as much fun playing the Luna Coven clan as it was to design it.

Howdy! I’m Brian, senior gameplay programmer at Shiny Shoe, and I’m here to introduce a new clan in Monster Train 2 - the Lazarus League. The Lazarus League is a group of mad scientists and their creations. Themed around horror and the macabre, we drew our inspirations from a variety of films and books: Frankenstein, Nosferatu, Reanimator, Alien, and a bunch of others have their DNA running through the League. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/991f5d9304f867b27e9b226089d276ea4a78cbb6.png Orechi, first champion of the Lazarus League clan This is immediately exemplified by their Champion, Orechi. He serves as the head of the Lazarus League, the scientist at the center of every dark experiment and twisted creation. He’s a clear nod to Dr. Frankenstein, though in my head he’s closer to the one found in Young Frankenstein (it’s pronounced Franken-steen). During gameplay, he excels at bringing back the dead and brewing dangerous serums. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/82bb4cd331f48f75864434953fff13a9d655be4f.png Erratic Assistant Unit, Lazarus League clan Within the labs of the League, a host of different Assistants lend their expertise. These are the grunts of the group, and are often the subject of experimentation themselves. Some have weapons stitched to their body, which can then be… reappropriated by another unit. Some have been made unstable through some rather iffy science and are in danger of coming undone. Erratic Assistant was inspired by Edward Scissor Hands, having sharp hands attached to her body and behaving a little off-kilter. Thematically she serves as the group’s ace surgeon, able to perform delicate amputations and not-so-delicate ones as the situation calls for it. Gameplay-wise, she has starter equipment that gives her an attack boost. Should she lose those pointy fingers, another unit can take them up to get the added attack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/f8ff74c6120fdda42a01bd310dabcc4d935f96c2.png Overworked Assistant, Lazarus League clan Visually, Overworked Assistant is a nod to the BBC adaptation of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I just really wanted a two-headed character in the clan. A frustrated worker bee who is the subject of experiments as often as he is conducting them, years in the lab have made him increasingly unstable. This is reflected in his gameplay mechanic of gradually becoming more unstable as you cast more spells in the room he’s in. (Fun fact: early in design we discussed using the merchant cats as our assistants, but I decided against subjecting those cuties to the horrors of the League.) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/68cc83f778131d9ac1e3f8c31006e38a9556f76e.png Hydra Armed Horror Monstrosity, Lazarus League clan {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/398b496f180a455be176206ad0b8659926f969fa.png Hulking Mass Monstrosity, Lazarus League clan The clan’s experiments have led to grotesque Monstrosities. These are the more outlandish units, with deformed features and anatomy that doesn’t quite work. But they’re also the powerhouses. Hydra Armed Horror gains more attacks for each piece of equipment fed to it - if you’ve got the cards to spare, it can be quite the heavy hitter. It’s the clan’s take on a nightmarish tentacle monster, but with muscley arms instead. Hulking Mass gains armor each time it is reanimated from the dead, making it a doubly (or triply) effective front-liner. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/2c6fb975a20a1887369b4fe73cf0268a1daded89.png Lazarus League equipment card: Organ Harvester Mechanically, the Lazarus League is a “high risk, high reward” clan. Many of their cards center around purposefully letting units die to gain some reward. New statuses help facilitate this - Reanimate immediately revives a unit upon death. If you’re careful, even a sacrificed unit can survive to continue the fight. The Unstable status will cause units to explode on death. Combine the two, and you can create combos where units die, explode, die again, explode, die for the third time … life in a mad scientist’s lab is tough. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/50c9373b7891097c37cb491de346aa0e8b4e9b39.png Lazarus League spell card: Tome of Horrors Every clan has a Tome card, a powerful card that can inform the strategy of a run. The League has Tome of Horrors, which grants a massive amount of Unstable. Playing it on an enemy can be good, but it can also combine really well with the Overworked Assistant for massive, repeated explosions. It’s also gives some fun Evil Dead 3 vibes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/9f05159e64ba9b9e3f68882957518b33fa9fdba6.png Lazarus League spell card: Brain Transfer And as for Brain Transfer, it’s good for sac’ing your underperforming workers to embolden your sturdier units. It’s one of the first cards I designed, a reference to similar operations found in several classic works, and it helped inform how far to push the horror motifs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45504256/d21a18f2ad22b065146c77369be762cf6a0f3b3b.png Lazarus League spell card: Secret Ingredient There are other new gameplay mechanics underpinning the Lazarus League, but I don’t want to spoil all the surprises just yet. You’ll have to come check them out when the game launches on May 21st! In the meantime, thanks so much for supporting Monster Train 2 and us folks at Shiny Shoe! From ShinyCami, Community Manager at Shiny Shoe: Thank you so much for supporting the Shiny Shoe team and for your interest in Monster Train 2! If you would like to see the Lazarus League in action, watch the dev stream live on Twitch on Friday, April 18th, at 12:00 PM PST here. Have questions? Chat with the devs on our Shiny Shoe Discord server.

You’ve theorized, you’ve speculated, and now it’s time for you to properly Meet The Champions of the upcoming Monster Train 2 clans! After all this time of waiting and only seeing their logos in the demo, it’s time we reveal the biggest mystery of all: WHO ARE OUR NEW HEROES? I’m sure you’re shaking with anticipation, and we’ve got a news trailer that aims to put that trembling to rest! (Although, if shaking still persists, you may want to see a doctor) You’re all probably familiar with the clans in the demo. The fallen Banished, a clan composed of angels and hymnists alike, focusing on stacking valor and heavy equipment. The fierce Pyreborne, as ruthless as they are greedy, with their pyregel and hoards of goodies. This trailer gives you a look into the three clans that have proved more elusive. Perhaps you’ve mused over the mystical Luna Coven, using the power of the moon and their mighty witchcraft to take down any corrupted foe. Or, you could embody an endless cycle of decay, growth, and (most importantly) mushrooms with the power of the Underlegion. If neither of those caught your eye, then consider the mad scientists of the Lazarus League, brewing concoctions both vile and beneficial to take on Heaven’s legions. Even though you’re only getting a small taste of the clan’s champions in this trailer, fear not! In the coming weeks, each clan’s going to get their own Deep Dive Blog here on Steam, so keep an eye out for all the new ways to bring Seraph to his knees! Until then, make sure to wishlist Monster Train 2! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2742830/Monster_Train_2/

Hi friends. It’s April Fools' day. If you’ve spent enough time on the internet, you already know what today is about. It’s about goofs. It’s about tricks. It’s about “pulling a fast one”. April Fools' Day in the video game world is a particularly special time for video game studios like us. With the right April Fools’ Day announcement, your game can land at the top of the gaming news sites and subreddits. So we’ve studied the history of the holiday, run the simulations and crunched the numbers, and found that these days there are two key paths to April Fools' Day success: A) Put out an announcement so “too good to be true” that eventually we have to follow through on it. or, B) Release a shallow dating sim/visual novel with a comedy twist, doing a disservice to the entire dating sim genre. For this April Fool’s Day, the choice was crystal clear: The world isn’t ready for the Monster Train dating sim “You Stole My Pyre Heart!”*. We’re going to go with option A.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Monster Train 2 releases on May 21st, 2025.

No kidding. This is not a drill. Monster Train 2 will be in your hands in less than two months. If you haven’t already, please enjoy the trailer above, wishlist the game, and get ready for five all-new clans, dozens of new cards, and surprises of all shapes and sizes. As we ramp up towards launch, we’ll be back at a regular cadence giving you deep dives into Monster Train 2’s new content, from clan deep-dives to new game mode reveals and more. All aboard. *This does not exist, please do not ask for it. We’re giving you Monster Train 2. Please.

https://i.imgur.com/QSh8AMn.png Hey there Monster Train fans! Harris from Good Shepherd Entertainment here. I think it's safe to say that if you're reading this, you're likely a fan of roguelike deckbuilders starring hellish creatures.

Demon's Mirror is a deckbuilding roguelike with a tile-chaining twist. Whether you're playing cards or comboing gems, Demon's Mirror very well could be your next favorite roguelike.

Hey, everyone! It’s been a while, but we have something pretty cool to share. Our friends at Leap and Tiny Ghoul have just released a fantastic new game called Dicefolk.

By picking up the Monster Train x Dicefolk bundle, not only do you get two deeply addictive and satisfying games, but you’ll save some cash, too. Oh, and if you already own Monster Train, you can just get Dicefolk on its own at a discount. Not too bad, eh?

Hello Monster Train Community! The Shiny Shoe team is so excited to announce our latest game, Inkbound! An online co-op roguelike with a unique active battle system that builds off what you know and love about Monster Train. Inkbound is set in a world where stories come to life. Take direct control of a powerful Binder, party up with friends or strangers, and go on procedurally generated runs with dense, interesting decisions. Inkbound shares design DNA with Monster Train like drafting and upgrading abilities and combines it with the social community feel of an MMO. Like Monster Train, you select two classes for their character at a time, allowing for a wide range of strategic possibilities by exploring the game mechanics of all class combinations. Inkbound is a living game. That means seasonal content, monthly quests, and daily challenges. No two runs and no two days will be the same in Inkbound. Inkbound is coming to Steam in 2023. Wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1062810/Inkbound/ Sign up here to participate in a future pre-release beta and get an exclusive space cat cosmetic hat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/b0446fe8efc38fe2cae0904830289b2e9a2e2764.png Social links: Discord Twitter Twitch

Greetings Community! We wanted to share a quick word to thank you for being a part of our Monster Train family for 2 years now! We've had so many memorable events both in-game and in our community Discord channels, so we've planned a very special retrospective livestream happening THIS THURSDAY at 10AM PT/ 1PM ET/ 7Pm CET to celebrate. Please join us HERE. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/2e6cce5d1ecd7441af4c610b674c254104082ca7.png We're also planning a 70% off sale this weekend from May 21st (our actual BIRTHDAY!!) through May 23rd. If you'd like to share with a friend and keep the Monster Train community rolling onward, please do. If you miss the stream, a recording should be playing here on Steam all weekend as well. We can't thank you enough for making Monster Train the success it is and we hope you'll share our trip down memory lane to celebrate our mutual accomplishments. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/2028c9cd0d36403ee14d72da6de7fb6320a846c8.png

Hello Lovely Community! It’s been a minute since we shared a regular update with you. We've been hearing that you want to take Monster Train on-the-go. With that in mind, we’ve been playing Monster Train on the Steam deck! As you may have read in our discussion post here, out of the box, we got the game running except for the intro video which wants to play upside down 🙃. PC Gamer recently did a test of their favorite games for Steam Deck and, of course, Monster Train was included. Here’s their assessment if you want to read MORE. Here’s a preview of what Monster Train looks like on the new hotness! While we don’t anticipate any issues, please do let us know in the thread above to report any major bugs as you play Monster Train wherever you like. We’d love to see your fun photos so don’t forget to share with us on Twitter there. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/c7ddd13f903d70c178c07aac91d1f53ad50ebc27.jpg Speaking of on-the-go, we’re excited to finally be able to share that the team has been focused on the mobile space for some time. We’ve been keeping quiet since we don’t have confirmed information to share yet. However, know that we’re deep into development on a global launch for Monster Train on (REDACTED) where you can take Monster Train to even more places and can’t wait to bring the game to everyone. We’re also looking into even more options, so stay tuned as we get closer to sharing news on this front and have solid dates for you. We want to thank you all for continuing to play, sharing your love for Monster Train, and for supporting the team while we were quietly working hard on this. It was tough not to reply to your requests and comments to play Monster Train on more devices and spoil that this was happening! As always, we appreciate you and can’t wait to see you playing Monster Train everywhere you want to go.

We are happy to share with you some news for our Chinese players. Together with Conscience Studio we are creating a special adaptation of Monster Train for the Chinese mobile market. Check out more here: https://www.3839.com/a/141233.htm More info soon!

Hi, Thank you for being a warm and dedicated community and sharing each day with us your love for Monster Train. 2021 was a great year for Monster Train. We released The Last Divinity DLC and made the jump to other platforms. For us it is still an exciting road ahead and the train will continue on its track. We let you decide if we have been doing a good job! Please support your favorite train here on Steam and vote for us in the illustrious Steam Award category: “The labor of Love”! Thank You! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/6d9beba53d133ced4eb93c5dba5bcbbc25e657e5.jpg

October 7, 2021 2.2 (12905)

BUG FIX - addressed a case where the second of two Concealed Caverns follow-up events triggering at the same time could be skipped if the player clicked the mouse quickly as the second event starts.

BUG FIX - Mark of a Champion now ignores Sap when it calculates its bonus. One place that came up is while facing Seraph the Temperant.

BUG FIX - fixed incorrect spawn locations sometimes being chosen for Remnant Host, Legion of Wax, Bog Chrysalis, etc. The incorrect situations came up when 2 or more units in the room died on the same turn.

BUG FIX - For The Greater Good can no longer be cast in the Pyre room.

BUG FIX - fixed Cheater's Hand softlock when zero cards are drawn. This is an extremely rare situation.

BUG FIX - fixed a rare softlock with Bog Chrysalis' synthesis effect in certain situations.

BUG FIX - cards no longer get stuck on the screen when going back to the main menu during card animations like Rector Flicker's reform ability.

BUG FIX - fixed rare issue where visual effect particles were bright pink.

BUG FIX - fixed keyboard/controller input issues when you resume straight into post-battle victory from the main menu.

TEXT - changed The Last Divinity's Purify text to say: "Removes all damaging debuffs from this unit at the end of turn." This more accurately describes how it works.

TEXT - fixed two cards with the same name in German - Fortify / Reinforce. Fortify became "Rüsten."

TEXT - fixed German mistranslation of "imp" on description text for Imp-in-a-box. Now "kobold."

ENGINE - fixed a variety of memory leaks when going in and out of battle.

ENGINE - changed how certain types of data load so that there isn't a long load time if you resume a run on the map and then immediately open a unit banner. Or when you resume a run into the victory UI at the end of battle and then open a unit card pack. Now this data loads during the black load screen instead of just before it's needed. This update will be coming to our other platforms in the future. As soon as we are able to get builds tested and certified. Edit - Oct 18, 2021 - the change to fix spawn locations sometimes being incorrect for Bog Chrysalis caused other unexpected problems and was reverted in version 12912.

Hello Community, have you missed us? Here’s a short update on what the Monster Train team is up to right now below: Last week, we had a livestream announcing that we have something secret that’s coming soon but we can’t really share many details. More vagueness here from our own mouths: LINK :wink: However, we’re planning another stream on August 5th to expand on this a bit more. If you’re curious, tune in here at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 7pm CET. We need your help with this! We’re also gathering information to help us shape the future of Monster Train and we’d like you to continue this journey with us by sharing your input. Please fill out this short survey and let us know! We are collecting entries until next Thursday July 29th. We’re thrilled to announce that Monster Train is nominated for a GIGA award in 2D character design! The Global Industry Game Awards (GIGA) are peer determined awards in celebration of the contributions of discipline teams and individuals. Game industry award shows do not focus on the achievements of the individuals and discipline teams within our industry, so GIGA is an opportunity to turn the spotlight on them instead and we’re so fortunate to be a part of that! Huge thanks to the IGDA (International Game Developer Association) for the nomination. Vote if you're a member! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/c49691b86231dad4bdd4dff1b48bddad40312f9c.jpg

May 19, 2021 2.1 (12838) This is a large balance and bug fix patch. Champions

The Decayer Spine Chief health progression increased 35/70/110 to 45/90/140.

The Infector Spine Chief attack progression increased 20/20/20 to 25/25/25.

Fire Light Little Fade Extinguish attack progression reduced 5/15/25 to 5/12/20.

Eternal Flame Little Fade Extinguish attack progression reduced 20/40/60 to 15/30/60. Spells

For The Greater Good card modified substantially. It now randomly summons one of six 1-capacity angelic units to the front of the floor. We know this will disappoint some folks, but there were simply too many complicated bugs in the other version and no clear path to fixing some of them.

For The Greater Good event no longer available as early in a run (no longer available in the Ring 3 cavern).

Soul Siphon is no longer eligible for the Stackstone upgrade. Units

"Mini bosses" in The Last Divinity battle no longer benefit from the Ninja Training mutator.

Thorned Hollow max health gain increased 40 -> 60 and Spike gain increased 2 -> 3.

Legion of Wax essence extinguish trigger changed to a revenge trigger and “Twin of Wax” changed to “Mote of Wax” (so, basically, every time the unit takes damage from any source, it pops out a 1-capacity chump blocker).

Lodestone Totem essence now Saps all enemy units but has a +2E cost associated with it.

Transcendimp cost increased 1 -> 2. Artifacts

Votive Key now only triggers when cards are played from hand. The primary goal is to eliminate anti-synergy with Commemorative Spike. Events

The “Malicka Purge” event now heals the pyre instead of purging cards. Within the context of the DLC, purging is more common than before due to the Dark Temple, so this provides an alternative benefit that should prove more compelling.

Olde Magic event rate reduced by ~25% of previous rate.

Rail of the Covenant (empower and add Purge) event rate reduced by ~40% of previous rate.

Glowing Brands event now less common in ring 3 but is now also available in ring 5’s cavern.

The two endgame events (Shard of Divinity and Blank Pages) have more than doubled in occurrence if the player has the requisite number of shards to trigger them. Text

Adjusted text on Coldcaelia’s unit essence for consistency.

Outdated "Room" unit limit message changed to "Floor" unit limit message.

Charged Echoes tooltip background color corrected for consistency on Forced Contamination.

Charged Echoes tooltip added to Glareminder, Symphony of the Soul, and Accelerated Incubation.

Status Effect tooltip added to Eel Gorgon.

Localized the "view" button for DLC call to action.

Fixed Chinese translation of "Reap" so it isn't the same as "Harvest".

Fixed "Pyre Shards" typo in a UI tooltip -> should have been "Pact Shards". Bug Fixes

When two Concealed Caverns follow up events trigger at the same time, the second event could be completely aborted if the user clicked to skip the intro animation. This made it so the player could miss rewards from the second event. Now if you try to skip the animation in the second event it should skip to reward selection like normal.

Fixed Divine Hoard not showing consistent artifacts between the left or the right path. Now the artifacts offered are the same on either path. This fixes the reported bug about being offered the same artifact twice in a run from a Divine Hoard reward.

Fixed an artifact selection bug for people who don't own the DLC that could lead to two of the same artifact available at the same shop or DLC artifacts showing up even if you don't own the DLC.

When Wurmkin cards add Consume to a card with Eternalstone, the Consume tag should now always show up on the card.

Fixed Apex Imp and Morsel-Made attack animations.

Fixed a controller/keyboard issue where you could buy more upgrades than intended.

Fixed a situation when, in Run Summary, a card could show a replacement parameter name instead of the correct numeric value.

Added Shard of Divinity to the Logbook.

Edge Prior's cost reduction now works on Olde Magic if it has a healing effect on it.

Fixed Vapor Funnel not triggering on TLD when he enters the Pyre room.

Fixed Worn Grindstone not working on Cardless units.

Hammered Chestplates and Commemorative Spike interaction fixed.

Fixed Commemorative Spike neutralizing the Cov10 Emberdrain effect erroneously. Now the first unit played by the player in the top floor gets Emberdrain. The Morsel Miner does not count for it.

Fixed Bone Rattler and Bone Shine not triggering Etch.

Fixed incorrect tooltip rules information on Steelsinger Rejuvenate.

Fixed Sacrificial Resurrection ember cost incorrect when copied by Twinstone.

March 31, 2021 2.0.1 (12722) This is a small bug fix patch with a few enhancements.

UI - improved visibility of what is happening when you hide the Cheater's Hand UI before confirming a card selection because this was causing confusion and some people thought they were softlocked.

CONTROLS - with controller or keyboard, if you try to summon a unit and can't because of lack of capacity we now re-select the card you just tried to cast. This improves the intuitiveness of controls in this situation.

CONTROLS - with controller or keyboard, changing your allied clan within the Clan Select screen now always skips over your primary clan, avoiding unintended clan switching.

ART - compressed some character textures that were not compressed (most already were) to reduce memory consumption and improve load time.

ENGINE - changed how certain types of data load so that there isn't a long load time if you resume a run on the map and then immediately open a unit banner. Or when you resume a run into the victory UI at the end of battle and then open a unit card pack. Now this data loads during the black load screen instead of just before it's needed, resulting in more responsive UI.

BUG FIX - fixed softlock with combination of Hope for Peace, Spell Railspike, and Wurmkin cards that bring cards back from the Consume pile.

BUG FIX - fixed ability to rapidly use the "engage pact" button in the Divine Temple which would lead to broken sequencing and the game possibly stealing cards from you by purging more than one card but only getting one unit upgrade.

BUG FIX - fixed a case in a Concealed Caverns event where a DLC card with broken visuals could be given out to non-DLC owners.

BUG FIX - fixed The Last Divinity attack stat calculation not interacting properly with Sap when relentless mode starts.

BUG FIX - eliminated a memory leak in battle when hovering cards on and off in a certain way.

BUG FIX - fixed an issue with controller/keyboard where if you ended your turn while a card was resolving at the start of the next turn no card would be selected.

BUG FIX - fixed 16:10 aspect ratio UI issues in Divine Temple.

BUG FIX - fixed Russian language UI issues in Divine Temple.

BUG FIX - fixed various text issues with Brazilian Portuguese.

BUG FIX - fixed cards sorting improperly in Large UI mode when viewing the Logbook cards page for the first time after booting the game.

BUG FIX - in the tutorial, when using controller/keyboard, don't unselect the Champion right after telling the player to summon them.
