Can't wait to see how the angel-demon alliance shakes up the meta—sounds like a wild ride. Also, those Pyre Hearts better not be as brutal as the original's RNG
Nice to see Monster Train 2 mixing things up with angels and demons—sounds like a fresh twist on the original’s formula. The new clans and upgrade systems should give deck-building fans plenty to sink their teeth into.
2025 feels like a bit of a wait, but if the demo’s any indication, this sequel might just be worth the hype. Love that they’re expanding the lore with Heaven and Hell as battlegrounds.
