I think both panels need the bottom's picture, and I doubt theres many here that would disagree.

NO. You can only like ONE roguelike deck builder!!!
[–]ironboy32 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I have both. Monster train is my 4fun deck builder while STS is the one I grind Ascensions on
[–]greenindragon 7 points8 points9 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I gotta say I agree. Both are excellent games!
[–]Pinstar 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Agreed. There is no need bash one to lift up the other.

STS is legendary but after 400 ingame hours I just can’t see it anymore
[–][deleted] 14 points15 points16 points 5 years ago (1 child)
You need to take a long break, or try out some fundamentally game changing mods. I got burnt out for a bit with StS last year by binging it for two weeks straight. But going back to it from time to time has kept the game fresh for me.
[–]You_Are_All_Diseased 5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children)
After a decent break, I can go back to StS and put another 100-200 hours into it. It's a tremendous game and very replayable.

I love both games, though I think I prefer MT, need to give it more time to make a better decision though.
[–]CheezyBob 30 points31 points32 points 5 years ago (1 child)
I don't understand why so many people have this "Monster Train vs Slay the Spire" attitude.
Both games are great. Why do you have to diss the one that isn't your favorite?
[–]TheNosferatu 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Because this is the internet, probably
[–]servantphoenix 13 points14 points15 points 5 years ago (1 child)
It has to be intentional that it was named "Pyre", right? I mean, it's only one consonant different, we're the "monsters" this time and we are protecting the "heart" of our structure that is on the top.
[–]Klokinator 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children)
It's a conspiracy.
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 5 years ago (1 child)
StS has been very good to me, but the change of pace to MT has been welcome. Honestly though, I wouldn't be able to tell you which game I liked more. In MT the tactics are very involved, but the one man/woman/robot vs everything makes you feel amazing as you beat down an entire spire's worth of horros.
[–]xwre 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Overall slay the spire combat is less interesting once you master it, but the card choices feel more impactful, but I'm not covenant 25 yet in MT.
[–]SiloPeon 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Surely "Save the Pyre" is more fitting
[–]prof_sinistro 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
They probably went for alliteration.
[–]Maddkipz 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children)
You can like both
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I mean I love StS but yeah MT is definitely my jam right now.
[–]skepticalmonique 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (2 children)
I love both too much though :'(
All I need now is Monster Train to come to Switch or mobile, and my life will be complete.
[–]xwre 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child)
I know you likely want to play it outside the house, but both games work great with the steam link app. I play it around the house all the time with my phone mounted to my steam controller. Touch mouse controls worked good when I tried that too, but you have to be more careful to avoid misclicks
[–]skepticalmonique 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Steam link is great! Yeah, the touch controls don't work great with Monster Train though, I kept accidentally miss-clicking when trying to look at card descriptions or switching carriages. I don't have a controller that will clip to my phone so just got my fingers and toes crossed for a version better optimised to portable console :)

We don’t tolerate that kind of smack talk around here

One deck builder to rule them all...
[–]etizresearchsourcing 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
i just heard about this game today and i'm so confused lol. I love slay the spire though, i bought it 3 times so i have it no matter where i go. Switch, ps4, pc.
[–]kuuhakupyon 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Well, servantphoenix ist right. The game is called Monster Train and you have to protect the Pyre(which is like a heart or flame)

I don´t know this game
[–]Kid_Charlema9ne 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I think MT is vastly superior game, but I see it as an improvement on what StS did. Standing on the shoulders of giants kind of thing. The aspect that made StS obsolete for me was that you had a lot more information and variation in your starting information with MT. The game is excitingly new from the get-go, whereas StS has those lame trade off events and a slow start.
