Monster Train: A Slay the Spire-Style Game Now on Android

Monster Train is a compelling roguelite deck-building game that has now made its way to Android devices. Originally launched on PC in 2020, the game saw subsequent releases on consoles and iOS in 2022 before finally arriving on Android. Its unique gameplay mechanics and strategic depth have often drawn comparisons to *Slay the Spire*, making it a standout title in the genre.

What Does Monster Train Bring to Android?

Set aboard a train plunging into the icy depths of hell, your mission in *Monster Train* is to defend the last remaining pyre from waves of heavenly invaders. The game distinguishes itself with its distinctive three vertical combat lanes. Unlike traditional single-lane battles, you must manage and strategize across all three lanes simultaneously, adding a layer of complexity and tactical decision-making to every encounter.

As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock over 250 cards spanning five distinct monster clans. Each clan offers a completely different playstyle, and the ability to combine two clans per run opens up a wide range of strategic possibilities. Additionally, each clan features ten tiers of upgrades, allowing you to strengthen your deck the more you play them. Champions—your key units—can be upgraded multiple times, reinforcing your core strategy as you advance through increasingly difficult levels.

The Android version includes all major updates released post-launch. The *Wild Mutations* expansion introduces 35 new mutators and adjustable difficulty settings, enhancing replayability and customization. Meanwhile, the *Friends & Foes* update adds new champions, bosses, cards, and artifacts, further expanding the game’s content pool.

Also included is *The Last Divinity* DLC, which significantly boosts the game’s longevity by introducing the Wurmkin clan—a new faction unlocked after defeating Covenant level 1. This expansion also brings the Pact Shards system, offering powerful enhancements at the cost of increased challenge. At the end of this path awaits ‘The Last Divinity,’ a formidable final boss that tests everything you’ve learned in the game.

Will You Try It Out?

One of the biggest advantages of the Android release is that *Monster Train* is fully playable offline—even in airplane mode. You can purchase the full version for $10, with in-app purchases primarily serving to unlock the complete game experience. Once purchased via your Google account, your ownership transfers seamlessly between devices.

Cloud save support ensures you won’t lose your progress when switching phones or reinstalling the app. However, it's worth noting that the Android version currently lacks controller support, so touchscreen controls are your only option while on the go.
