Too easy?

[blekaa94]

I get the impression the game's too easy compared to slay the spire

[JoeVonFo]

I wouldn't say so.
I'm at ascension 20 with the three original characters of slay the spire, and I'd definitely say that you get your moneys worth from Monster Train in terms of challenges.

Even if you find certain combinations too easy, you can always try to beat the game on higher difficulties with combinations you consider harder :)

(I have not played the latest beta, so I can't speak for it in terms of difficulty though)

Both games are easy on the default difficulty, you can win basically every single run if you never make mistakes and make correct choices. The chance of the game screwing you over completely is so small that it's not even worth considering, and that goes for both.

Both games get more difficulty once you start unlocking difficulty modifiers that's where the challenge is.

Also, considering you already played STS and that both games have a lot in common, it's obvious that Monster Train will feel easier since a lot of your experience will transfer from one game to another.

its hit and miss some games easy some games with no rng.

the reason u feel its easier is because of the length, slay the spire require more planning ahead and need to calculate stuff by urself. However monster train aint easy either, im struggle at the highest difficulty challenge, which are really really hard

[turretboi]

That's exactly how i felt. Until i won and unlocked covenant ranks. Everything went to hell in difficulty then. (Pun intended)

[Sekzon]

monster train cuts you some slack every now and then thus even an average player like me can get the challenges done with some sweet rng. so compared to sts i'd say it is more forgiving ( and also more fun tbh )

[Vanacutt]

it's kind of easy, but not really, I have a lot of runs where I thought I would win, but Fel is the one who end most of my runs.

I think MT starts off easier but ramps up in difficulty later to about the same level of StS.

And I'll second the argument that some StS experience is transferable to MT so it might feel easier for an StS veteran than StS felt at the start.

Edit your save file to unlock Covenant 25 and judge for yourself. It's about the same. That's assuming you're playing at Ascension 20 in StS. Monster Train starts off a little more forgiving though.

Cov 25+ is hard enough.
I think, it balanced more around high Covs, so you can use more different cards.
Also, Monster train gives more info for a player, so you can start preparing your deck to the final fight even before 1st battle.

[BLAME! 40K]

Its ok imo . Im 40 hours in and only covenant rank 7 . But i try alot of diffrent builds :)

[Enjoyluck]

cov 25 is hard with random deck. But not if you pick the best 2 classes,

I agree.

[Justice Potato]

It isn't easier, it's fairer. Like Igorious said, it gives you more info which prevents you from getting screwed over by encountering a boss your deck is weak against.
The events are also all beneficial.

It is indeed, by default, and depending on RNG. However, it can get complicated, at least you can finish it without suffering. I am sure on the higher levels of difficulty it gets tricky to win.

It´s fun anyway. It´s a good mix, what I miss is a larger run, like it could be easily be double.
