Monster Train is a roguelite deckbuilder that is clearly inspired by games like Slay the Spire but also puts its own spin on the formula, including spawning minions and an emphasis on positioning. It's one of the year's most enjoyable roguelites so far so I decided to play some more of it. Check it out!

About this game:
Monster Train is a strategic roguelike deck building game with a twist. Set on a train to hell, you’ll use tactical decision making to defend multiple vertical battlegrounds. With real time competitive multiplayer and endless replayability, Monster Train is always on time.
A clan where you want to put tanks behind weaker units, could not be tailored more for NL.
It's kind of funny. I think the thing that was hurting him the most was his persistence on using that tank unit in a way that was normally correct. Like every time it got dangerous it was because he had the tank and the champion and room for nothing else on his top floor (and no room to play the insane damage unit).
@@fallouthirteen Yea that really held him back, he basically had the top floor being completely useless.
@@cptKamina I think the thing that really held him back was nonsensical unit placement. So many times he threw away damaging units putting them at the front where they served zero purpose. Surprising no one NL would once again benefit greatly from slowing his roll.
@@Wilks228 He was putting them at the front to die so they could be brought back stronger, wasn't really nonsensical. At times he could have played a bit slower and got more value out of it, but he played this run really well for the most part, especially for a first Remnant run.
He also took the weakest/hardest form of the champion and still won, which was a great performance overall. The reform path has weird quirks like the champ unit having terrible stats but being more valuable on the first floor where it can reform units that die in any floor on the same turn. Reform 3 is usually overkill though, a single 'point' in one of the other paths turns the champ into a useful combat unit.
“Looks like you got on the wrong train, pal.” New favorite unit bark.
"I could really go for a guttering right about now."
G Man I mean, couldn’t we all?
The Melting Remnant is basically a zombie/necromancer faction with a unique aesthetic and I love it.
yeah, candle people instead of undead zombies is really nice for a change! burnout, wickless, etc. great theme
It felt a bit silly to me at first, I mean you have giant horned demons, deep sea horrors, all-devouring earth monsters...and then living candles straight out of 'Beauty & The Beast'. But I kinda dig the Charles-Dickens-like character design and the gameplay is super fun, so yeah...
@@tophateyeball7198 I know this is an pls comment but I agree with you so much :D I got this game week ago and played basically without knowing much. My reaction was quite mixed at first when I unlocked the candlebros
I love the theme
Melting remnant has such amazingly good imp synergy, holy shit.
Just imagine - you can make every floor "the imp floor" and they'll have huge stats and can keep repeating summon effects etc. etc.
Yeah imps + candle bois makes for a good time, especially with the imps that repeat all summon effects.
They even have "give a minion endless" card
@@greindes1579 Endless is bad, you cannot reform an endless unit.
@@N0rmaln0 you won't have to deal with burnout. Endless almost never bad
@@greindes1579 burnout is a very very small price to pay for the buff you get from reform.
The Parafin Thug's effect is on Slay, so he needs to kill things to get the 20 gold, not everytime *he* dies.
i think he got it, didnt he?
Somehow egg understands all the new terms in this clan but mistakes "Slay" which has been present since episode 1, still gotta give it to him for the pogged up run
@@Blaurot Nah he kept putting it on the first floor in the front so it would immediately die and basically never killed anything.
That bothered me for so long lol but only love for the egg 🥚
About halfway though the video right now and this was the first thing I noticed. Does he end up getting it? Either way, absolutely pogged out of my mind with this clan, I hope he plays it more often than every "x" video.
his reaction to the resin block was so good
R e s i n
R e m o v a l
when I saw that item in game I thought of the eggking
A pause recording button? Thank goodness, I thought he edited for a second there
Monster train better be the next 1000 part series, I’m so here for it
This game has endless strategies it seems like. It's amazing. I'm so addicted.
@@Awesomeness156 I wonder if people will be able to mod it. That kept Slay the Spire going for me for a lot longer but I'm really loving how upgrades work in this game so much more. Imagine the possibilities.
AAA//#
Man the quote at 18:57 killed me! "Apparently, getting your units killed being a good thing, that's great for me cause it is already second nature, I was doing that to begin with" xD
Formless Child is what I look like in real life
same.
Big Mood
are u also made out of wax?
Awwwww, it's so cute
Is this the end of an era? NL leans how to pause recordings. Is this the official end of walking away from the camera mid video. I'm a little sad honestly. It was a good meme.
Don't worry, he'll forget next batch.
Yeah where's my lonely troutman
I'm going to pretend he became the Flash and he was just that fast.
Melting Remnant may be my favorite faction, the burnout/reform mechanic is a LOT of fun, and I love that the dregs and draffs stay useful because of it
"He's a victim of what we're trying to accomplish here, financially speaking."
- Jeff Northernlion Bezos
Even funnier since the unit needs to get kills to give money, not die like NL thinks
This has quickly become my favourite series of yours. Every video is a POG in my day.
56:45 the dedication this man has to keeping a 14/1 alive and wasting 2 capacity is amazing.
Me: yo the volume is perfect this episode. I can actually hear the game
NL: alright, so I'm gonna lower the volume a little bit as well
Every time he called molded “holdover” I died a little inside. Never change NL.
The bit that gets me is that numerous times he *says* that he has to use it so that it comes back. And yet at the start of numerous battles he keeps not using it, denying himself early resses and buffs
Gotta say, that was some IMPRESSIVE gameplay right there in the end that saved your bottom-side. There were some misplays but that didn't matter, most deserved W of the century.
Oh hey it’s those guys from DS3 that put their head in the candle wax
Edit: I can’t believe how much gold you were swimming in near the end of the run. Absolute moneybags
ye, this clan is gold-rich if u get a gold unit early, its real bonkers
I once had Petty Thief with Holdover and +10 damage early and manage to farm 50g every turn. Good days.
Honestly my favorite series in a long time, and that's coming from someone who watches every episode of Isaac xD
How could you enjoy this, then? There's no tinted rocks for NL to ignore in this game...
Super happy that NL enjoyed his first run with The Melting Remnant and got a win.
They're probably my favorite clan to play. I really like pairing them with Umbra because the Morsels being eaten triggers all of the Harvest triggers and all of the feed buffs from the Morsels carry over when you Reform the units too!
Out of all the runs this one is by far my favorite, I love how the raising the dead aspect works and it just works so well for you
'I think we have to prioritise this horned warrior getting as buffed as possible' does everything he can to prevent it dying. Putting it in back 90% of the time.
This series is very strangely hypnotizing. Glad to see more games like this out there.
The Melting Remnant is such a cool faction, the gradual upgrading of Burnout units over time is very interesting!
I lived long enough to experience NL completely nailing a new faction's strategy in first try and it's glorious.
The wincing at your misplays just makes it taste that much better when you find how to fix your mistakes and pog off - nicely done :3
I really love Melting Remnant. They occupy such an interesting design space by caring about your dead units. It's something none of the other clans come close to doing.
Can't wait to see NL's reaction to the sheer stats of the final Burn Bright champion.
I’ve watched through episode 60 and this is my favorite run yet
Absolutely loving this series. Thanks for the fun NL, don't get to play a huge amount of games myself these days so vicariously playing them through you is super fun.
Your scheduled POGGING is one hour early today.
I really like NL's galaxy brain works like "put down units first, and calculate enemy damage later" :P
NL at 0:25 "H E double hockey sticks"
NL at 0:54 "Hell rush"
Never change
Love how NL wastes no time experimenting with new units. Even in the early stages of true "Dadhood", he retains his Z A N E. Thanks for the content, brother.
Great run, things I want to say for this run is the build from top down. Ex. you have your champ on top floor and put units on bottom floor. The enemies on the second floor will go to top floor with full health and probably survive to attack the pyre. While if you put units on second floor instead of the bottom, then when the bottom floor comes up you have another turn to damage to them and repeat. One, more thing is to use the steel worker on the other floor, he isn't really getting incanted being on the top, and taking up the capacity on the top floor for damage units when you need them.
This faction definitely seems like you have to retrain your brain to play it! Love the variety among factions!
This run was a rollercoaster from start to finish. Very fun to watch and great plays at the end as well to clutch it out!
Since you had the opportunity for Transcendimp, I have to mention I had an absolutely POGGED run when I unlocked Melting Remnant. Reform plus Imps plus Transcendimp (which I eventually got to make endless so it could die easier vs getting the HP from Reform). Reform other imps, play Transcendimp in front, suddenly those 1/1 imps are doing like 80 damage a hit stacked across the floor from multiple rage triggers and enemies taking multiple aoe damage triggers.
Melting Remnants in general is a fun clan.
I almost got scared that he edited a video, but it was just the pauze button.
Thanks for the monster train!
Edit: That ending was insane!
Remnant! Great clan, super fun in my opinion.
Absolutely amazing run, and with my favourite faction too. I love the Remnants, although my favourite champion is the one that burns out, but does INSANE damage.
I know you prefer Slay the Spire, but this game has gripped me more than StS ever did. Hope the series keeps on going!
Just a side note, the Paraffin Thug gets 20 Gold when he kills, not when he gets killed. But you probably realized that by now anyway, haha
Usually watch this on my TV and cant like it their. going back rn to like em all. keep the series rolling!
Wow, the most exciting playthrough of Monster Train I've ever seen. That ending was truly nail-biting.
Video quality is super crisp man, really nice to watch.
The madman has finally done it. No more blank walls to look at. Truly, a new era is beginning.
Masterful run, especially for your first time dealing with the mechanic. I am now salivating though, imagining that run with more imps and an uncrowned. That would have been truly disgusting. Please don't stop this Monster Gravy Train.
NL out here protecting his units that have extinguish triggers by putting other units in front of them, never change my man. Was still a Pogged up run. Drowning in wealth even without understanding the 'Slay: 20 coins' unit.
Loving the series, it's great to see another roguelite deckbuilder. Brings me back to Spire days, but in a good way before it soured. Hope to see way more of this before you yeet it into the stratosphere.
This egg and his pogged videos got me to buy this game around 1 am last night. It is now almost 11 am my time and I have not stopped playing. Damn you egg, damn you.
The pucker factor at the end, the mad man has done it
An easy halloween costume for Ryan would be sticking a candle to his head and becoming the rectal flicker.
boy do i love a 1 minute and 12 second run
That ending was nuts, I can’t believe the rage play
I haven't seen through the video yet, but in case he never realized, the thug needs to KILL something to get the gold, not get killed. He has had slay units before.
edit: yes, he never realized, that thug got 20 gold on accident once and it wasn't noticed
Yeah I was laughing every time he played it in front to die
Finally, NL has Melting Remnants unlocked. I'm gonna enjoy this so much. It is so much fun to play them and I feel that it might become his favourite clan just like it is mine. Love these dudes, love the twist on the meta, love the synergies, and love that they unlock last. They give a nice refreshing air to an already awesome, crisp game.
Any tips? Remnant is my weakest clan
@@Edaren I'm by no means an expert but I feel the key to Remnant is a small, compact deck. From your support clan you want either a tanky unit or a high damage unit, maybe both. Otherwise you should not get more units or spells unless it helps you death/rebirth cycle and you want to purge as much as possible.
Another tip I can think of after this run from NL is to not be afraid to let your champion die, assuming you have a way to reform him of course. Additionally, if you take the "Reform one random unit" upgrade on him, on your first turn you should not put him at the top. Let him be at the bottom and let something die in front of him, so you can start improving units from turn one.
God I love the Melting Remnant. As soon as I unlocked them they became my favorite clan. You built your first Remnant deck basically the same as mine and you really gotta love how effective it is.
Oh also I'll have to reconsider cutting Dregs from my future Remnant decks but they're honestly really good with a few damage upgrades considering they start at 9 damage. It helps that you had Draff as your random starter cards, but when you're trying to build burnout with some of the later Remnant unlocks the dregs can be a cheap 1 capacity 0 cost damage spam option.
Dude the remnants mechanics are awesome. The clans are all so unique with such cool themes and mechanics. I hope they add some more in future dlc or updates
Great video. There are a lot of death triggers in this game, so I thought I'd summarize.
Extinguish: Triggered on that unit's death
Slay: Triggered on that unit killing another unit
Harvest: triggered on any unit on that floor dying (friend or foe).
Misinterpreting Slay as Extinguish cost you a lot of gold, although it did buff the mobster unit pretty quickly, so it wasn't all bad. Best of luck to you in your next Remnant run. Hope this helps. =)
I never thought a run with this amount of resin could generate such a level of POGGERS
Ah shit, completely forgot he had resin. Was wondering which thing was making that votivary so strong.
So glad you’re playing monster train. This has to be the best roguelike of 2020
Great plays for first time melting. Especially with the base cards and artifacts. genuinely very good piloting of a generally difficult class. GG NL
You deserved that W
That last rage up got me pogged out of my mind dude!
I had seen other episodes(not all yet) and i decided to watch this one out of order...
it took me from hating the melting, to being excited to try them again.
My favorite faction!
When NL took the Largestone on his armored unit, I thought for sure it was going to end the run. Thankfully his Draff got strong enough to pull through *and* he realized what went wrong. The best of all possible worlds, and an awesome run.
I love the Remnant Umbra combo, slay triggers on morsels so you can have automatic farming floors.
thanks for the continued run, was very surprised to see this new clan's gimmick, gotta say it looks super strong!
Man, the card and character art is so fuego in this game
NorthernLuck carrying hard by bestowing him with the OP resin block dark calling synergy right out the gate.
One of the best monster train episodes so far. Please keep it up NL! This rules!!!
Good to see Ryan make fewer and fewer misplays every day. It's amazing.
Honestly, SUPER great run for the first run as Melted Remnant. I think I speak for everyone when I say... Pog
One cool thing about this game is the unit to unit synergy with each faction
I think you’ve been confusing “consume” with “purge” for awhile now. Putting consume on your torches or whatever will not yeet them out of your deck forever, only per battle. So the utility goes up with that a lot. Purge will yeet itself forever. Solid big brain W brother!
I get the impression he just means forever for that battle. He's never seemed surprised that they are there the following battle. It just means the deck cycles faster, which NL seems to understand.
Wilks228 yeah that could be, talking semantics then so it’s really pointless. Obviously egg has achieved levels of pog in this game never before witnessed by mankind so it’s a moot point.
The pogs are raining down from the heavens, bless us eggfather with all this amazing content. Thank you for keeping us fat and fed during this trying times
Finally, a deck archetype that fits NL's ability to get units killed.
God you make my day so much better with these videos, thanks so much!
This faction is really interesting. I'm super impressed by how many truly unique mechanics the devs managed to come up with.
Holy crap, that was incredible. That final rage play that saved the run was so good.
Loving the series NL! I don't always agree with your gameplay decisions, but I enjoy hearing you talk out your thought process regardless.
The ability to see in real time how much damage you're going to do to a boss is such a nice addition. It makes you feel like such a galaxy brain player when you finally get the lethal red X after playing out a turn trying to minmax damage.
Melting bois probably my fave deck bc it fits NL with the zanyness
This game is so goddamn cool and this race might be the coolest part of this game, I'm impressed. Really wish it was on Switch, it would make the decision to buy it so much easier.
RESIN REMOVAL IS PERFECT FOR THIS MAN
I still have no idea what's going on in this game but I'm here for it.
This episode got me yelling and begging at my phone for NL to not do any major mistakes...I wonder what would other people have said if anyone saw me.
Thanks NL. No other youtuber got my cheeks clenched watching him play like you do.
Either northenlion uploaded an hour early by mistake, or he has seen my comments about how I'm ruining my sleeping habits and showing up to work with only a few hours sleep due to the late uploads and decided to throw me a bone...
Thank you.
He mentioned it on the Poly Bridge video yesterday that that had an NDA and thus swapped places with Monster Train.
@@xDasterrx why you gotta ruin my dreams...
With that trinket, that triggers extinguish abilities twice, the Legion of Wax card completly carries a run. As a hint for everyone looking to win against cov-6.
A burnout 3 reference and an extremely pogged run
so blessed
Honestly thanks for bringing me this game and great run. Finally unlocked my favorite clan.
Keep the monster train coming brother, this is series has got me pogged out of my gord.
Oh man the Melting Remnants! I love the monopoly-fella that can get ya money for hitting enemies... and the bruiser fellas that does the same when killing an enemy.
This was my favorite run to watch so far! POGGED!
the candle mfers are the most fun to play imo. Candleboys + umbra second is pretty hilarious too, since you bring back the morsels permanently
I loved "Rectal Flicker" so much, I thought about making it my discord username, just to realize that none of my philistine friends (who do not watch the egglord) would understand the joke.
I love this series, good work mate, thanks for helping me laugh and sleep.
Yo, this was just a high quality sight read on this faction. Super well played.
I think he played this really well.
Credit where credit is due but for the first time playing that faction he did really well, very entertaining to watch as well
Melting remnant is my favorite faction so far! They're so great and this run is pretty pogged too!
Would love some tips on Remnant because it's my weakest clan
Putting the largestone on had me pulling my hair out, I have to imagine this is how people felt during sts, but props for winning regardless the run built was so powerful
Yooo this was POGGED UP to an exponential degree
