Monster Train 2 FAQ

[MissHenley]

Whether you have played Monster Train before or are completely new to the Monster Train club, we're sure you have plenty of questions!

Cami, the Community Manager over at Shiny Shoe, has awesomely put together this Q&A and included a few common questions and answers below that they hope will be useful!

Q: Do I have to have played Monster Train to play Monster Train 2?

A: Not at all! Monster Train 2 can be played and understood without ever having played Monster Train!

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

A: Great question! 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).
- Character Dialogues
- Endless Mode
- Empowered Pyrehearts
- Dimensional Challenges
...And more!

Q: When will Monster Train 2 launch?

A: Although we are not ready to give an exact date for the launch, please know that we will announce the launch day soon!

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

A: Absolutely! Monster Train 2 will be available in the following languages:
- French
- German
- Russian
- Portuguese
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Spanish
- Japanese
- Korean

(The demo is already available in all the above languages!)

Q: What is in the demo?

A: The demo is a small slice of the full game. In the demo, players are limited to:
- Two clans
- One Champion per clan
- Clan level 3
- Limited events and bosses
- Only one battle per ring
- Ring 8 is the final battle.

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 undo button?

A: The undo button will reset your current turn to the beginning!

We added this due to popular demand for battle and turn resets in Monster Train 1. That said, by making it an official feature we now track its use on runs. In the full game you will have a badge which shows if you complete a run without undos and the daily challenge can also be filtered by runs that do or don’t use undos.

There’s also an official battle restart in the menu which can be used to try a battle again. This also counts as an undo.

Q: Will Demo progress carry over to the full launch?

A: We are going to do our best to make demo progress carry over. There's some small chance we won't be able to, but right now we think it is likely.

That's it for now! we’ll be posting more Monster Train 2 FAQs in the near future. If you have specific questions you would like answered, please include it in the discussion forums or join the Shiny Shoe Discord and post in the appropriate channel.

Finally, thank you so much for your support and for playing Monster Train 2!
