✨ New Features

• Today is a special day as we celebrate the very [b]SIXTH[/b] anniversary of Monster Train! We cannot believe that it’s been six years since we pressed the launch button here on Steam and across platforms. [/p][p][/p][p][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36701975/fa69193a82edbd67dfce975916b66dfb5e0a0973.pn

Do you have a sketch you’ve been working on but haven’t had a chance to finish it? Do you love Ekka and want to give her a new outfit? Do you have an excellent wit that

✨ New Features

• To celebrate Monster Train 2’s launch, we’ve created a special Supporter Pack! Along with the full game, you can also get the Digital Compendium: an art book, digital wallpapers, printable items, photos from inside our studio, and more.

• Hi folks, this is your conductor speaking. We’d like to once again thank you for riding Monster Train Railways. As we near our final destination, we’d like to quickly run down our launch day checklist. We’re going to remind you of all the new [b]content, modes[/b], and even share some new info on [b

• 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 ca
• 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-ch
• 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

✨ New Features

• 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.

• 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,

✨ New Features

• 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

⚖️ Balance Changes

• *] Fixed several edge case gameplay bugs.
• *] Dualism redesigned to only affect buffs and debuffs.
• *] Strike now only applies when attacking or using an ability.

✨ New Features

• What does it mean to pre-register? It just means that you will be the first notified when the game launches (which, although I cannot reveal an exact date, I [b][i]can[/i][/b] say that it will be very soon).

✨ New Features

• If you’re interested in learning more, I’ll be playing this clan with Avarem on [b]Friday, April 25th, 2025 at 12:00 PM PST[/b] on [url=https://www.twitch.tv/shinyshoegames]Twitch.[/url] I'll also be sending out more sneak peeks in our [url=https://shinyshoe.com/contact/]Shiny Shoe newsletter[/url]

⚖️ Balance Changes

• And, finally, the third core Underlegion mechanic: [b]Propagate[/b]. Propagate increases the stack count of [b]Buffs[/b] on friendly units and [b]Debuffs[/b] on [b]enemy units[/b]. To better illustrate this, check out the spell card [b]Proliferate[/b] below.
• With the spell card [b]Proliferate[/b], [i]all[/i] units get Propagate 2 immediately. So, for example, if I have friendly units with Valor, that Buff will increase by two. [b]Propagate[/b] will also work for [b]Troop[/b] and [b]Decay[/b], which, with the Underlegion clan, can be a huge advantage.

• 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 [b]New Moon[/b] and [b]Full Moon[/b]. Some cards allow you to manipulate the current

• 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.
• 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 st
• 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 con
• 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!
