Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Sep 13 → 1.6/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The higher you go up in difficulty, the more you'll see how useless most cards are. There is fun and challenge to be had between difficulties 1-10, and certain factions are inherently better than others without needing luck, notably Wurmkin and Remnant being the best 2 factions in the game. Difficulty 18-25 require good Artifacts (permanent buffs) or you might as well abandon your attempt. HOW FUN Basically, the concept is great, atmosphere is sweet, but inherent design flaws show up after the Refund window. Only get it for a steep discount, like less that $5.
Great fun for a while. wouldn't say it's as replayable as something like Slay the Spire though.

非常にクオリティの高い有志日本語MODを活用させていただきプレイ。 難易度システムのコベナントは一切触れずにひたすら通常難易度で遊んでました。 2つのクラン(デッキ)を選択するシステムなのでその組み合わせを楽しんだりシナジーを考えるのが面白かったです。 ただ、明らかに弱い・強いカードが数多くあることや全体的なバランスも悪目なことが気になりました。 インフレも激しいのでそこが楽しいところではあるのですが、他のゲームバランスが良いSlayTheSpireライクのゲームのほうが長く遊びやすいなとは感じました。
It is not a bad game, but it gets repetitive too quickly for 25 euros. The meta progression is lacking for my taste. Buy only on sale.
One of my favorite "go to" mental challengers when I want to get in and get out in an hour or so, with a likelihood of winning somewhere in the 20% range. Ahhhh, pop another beer.
超级无敌爆炸好玩，喜欢玩肉鸽卡牌的都来玩！！
比塔易上手，美术好，BGM好听，玩法和塔各有千秋。有一定的计算量，打击感爽得很，非常棒的肉鸽作品。

This game to me is a lot of "the juice isn't worth the squeeze". There is (or at least seems to be) a lot of choice and customizability throughout a run, but I never felt like my choices really mattered that much, changed how I played, or were even that much [i]of[/i] a choice. So many times my picks felt entirely obvious. The encounters are also not that interesting and there are just not that many of them in a run, only 10 when something like StS will have a few dozen in one of its runs. Maybe this game is just very not for me, but I can't see its appeal at all.
Turn-based tower defense meets a deckbuilder, Monster Train is a fun game. Five clans to choose from (six with DLC) each with different cards and specialties gives good replay value. What I found really interesting is the game lets you "enchant" cards to make them more powerful. Those starting cards become a lot more appealing when you've increased their stats or made them free.
