Now that Monster Train 2 has launched, I thought it was time to update the FAQ! Please see below the answer to some common questions from players.

Q: On which platforms is Monster Train 2 available?

A: Monster Train 2 is available on: Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Q: Do I need to have played Monster Train to enjoy Monster Train 2?

A: Not at all! Monster Train 2 can be played without ever having played the first game.

Q: How is Monster Train 2 different from Monster Train?

A: A few of the major changes include:
-Five brand new clans with whole new mechanics
-New card types like Equipment cards and Train Room cards
-And each battle now begins with a Deployment Phase (see below for full description)
-Endless Mode
-Unlockable Pyrehearts with unique gameplay
-Dimensional Challenges
-Character Dialogues
And more!

Q: How many hours of gameplay does Monster Train 2 provide?

A: Some of our beta testers have played hundreds of hours. There is more content compared to Monster Train 1, so there is a lot to do!

Q: Is Monster Train 2 be available in other languages?

A: Absolutely! In addition to English, Monster Train 2 will be available in the following languages: French, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean.

Q: What is the Deployment Phase?

A: You can now play unit cards one turn before the enemies spawn on the first floor. Use your turn wisely!

We added this to more fully support multi-floor strategies and to enhance Monster Train’s focus on unit synergy. There’s a new resource which gives you bonus Ember in this phase as well. Don’t worry though, the enemies have also increased their tricks, Monster Train 2 isn’t any easier just since you get an extra turn.

Q: What is with the restart battle button?

The undo button will reset the battle to the start of your current turn. It’s a new feature in Monster Train 2. Separately, we also made restarting the battle fully an official feature. You can activate that from the gear menu during a battle.

Q: How does Endless Mode work?

A: At the end of a winning run, you can choose to start an endless run with the click of a button! The run will continue until (or should I say IF) you are defeated.

Q: Will there be updates in the future?

A: Yes, we plan to fix bugs, adjust balance, and address any common quality of life concerns.

Q: Will there be new clans in the future?

A: We have nothing to announce at this time with regards to post-launch content. Of course, if we do have something to announce, we'll let you know as soon as we can!

Q: Is mod support be available?

A: We do not plan to add official mod support. However, players have modded Monster Train in the past and there is a dedicated channel in the Discord server for those interested in modding MT2. If you are interested in it, you can check out the channel here: discord.gg/monstertrain
