I've played over 10 runs on the demo version before the launch. I think the second one is much better than the first one. It resolved a lot of design limitations regarding the starting draw sequence and offers a lot more variety between builds as now you are able to equip items for further compounding and change the combat room attributes. Moreover, gives you unique amber abilities that actually make a difference in the play style.
Be warned, this game will receive a lot of bug fixes and balance patches for the first two or three months. If you want the game to be more stable and have more balanced combat, hold off from playing it for now and wait for at least two or three months, and come back to check this once again.
Day 1 I am on covenant 5 already (I've played 6 runs today and all win by a huge margin into the endless mode), I think monster train 2 is a bit too easy. I mean the game feel "good" as enemies are easy to die if you pivot early, like mowing grass, but feels a bit too smooth sailing to a point I actually feel a bit boring. I will try to achieve difficulty10 tomorrow and see if things improves.
Day 2 Now I am on covenant 10, and still feel it is easy. I think a lot of design limitations in the first game were a part of the reason for it being difficult, but the second game already resolved those limitations, so the game already intrinsically easy. Once you're used to the difficulty in the first game, the second game is really just mowing grass.
But the first game has 25 covenant levels, and the second game only has 10 so far, I guess eventually the 2nd game will also have 25 covenant levels. Now I think back on it. If I play Covenant 10 on the first game, it would also feel easy. I guess it's just a matter of time before the game becomes difficult in the future update. So I still hold it 5/5 for now.
Oh believe me, "bad" looking female designs never stopped the rule 34 artists. You should see how many R34 stuff exists for the Velma redesign for example
She was, I'm talking about the horrible Velma show, the one on HBO Max? They made her black in that show for some reason. And her personality fucking sucks too
It's true, they are. But at that point you just make your own original character, there's zero need to ethnicity-swap a pre existing character. But that wasn't even the biggest issue, the biggest issue for me was how they changed her personality from being a dweeb into being just generally insufferable, rude and way too snarky. This was basically Mindy Kaling trying to do a self insert and it bombed BAD
The developer Shiny Shoe is retarded, If they have the free time to push 3 content and cosmetic update on the PC, yet the console version still have fatal bugs that will make game unable to progress (and It was the same bug on the PC version but the PC got a patch on day 3) Why are they not prioritizing pushing the bug fix to the console as well? Only after they received complaints yesterday, they clearify that console did not get any patch yet and they will started rolling out the bug fix to the console version today (it only takes 3 hours for PS and xbox to finish checking), that is a week behind the PC on the very first patch.
It was not like a special patch needed for the console version. It was the same version, yet they decide not to push the update to the console for the fuck sake. They did not realize that was the same bug on PC or what? If you don't get the manpower to sync the console version to the PC in the first month, don't release the game on console the same day as PC.

If you ever feel this game is difficult, check my guide for beginners in the comment section of the first game. Some of the basic strategy applies to both games regardless. https://igg-games.com/monster-train-860716677-free-download.html

It doesn't seem representative for anybody to choose that one for ole race swap.
Looks more like john stewart and his race,
always trying to hide behind somebody else to instigate.
Cant wait to play this one.....😛
