Monster Train First Class
SCORE: 65
I normally despise card battling video games. The gameplay experience
in Monster Train First Class was not abysmal. The storyline in Monster
Train First Class shocked me with such controversy. Players are fighting
to relight the fires of hell. Players of Monster Train First Class fight
against the forces of heaven. Players fight these battles on this train.
Hence the name of the game.
The first thing about Monster Train First Class that confused me was the
multiple levels. The forces of heaven start a the bottom level and move
their way up. I could to figure out how to move my forces up. I then
discovered that I could place defenders on multiple levels as long as I
had enough mana. Once I had the right card I could have defenses ready.
The mana limitation is only a problem in using attack cards, and placing
your forces of evil. Once the placing and attacks are done the
characters on the level battle it out until one side is gone. Then we go
back into the placing of cards. I actually found the gameplay to be
interesting and engaging. I also had to learn how to move between levels
with the right stick.
I am thankful I was able to find a physical copy edition of Monster
Train First Class. There were some videos during the summer game fest of
the sequel and I noticed Limited Run Games was selling a copy of the
first game. I hope the second game gets a physical copy as well. I also
hope the second game improves the controversial and divisive storyline.
The loading times are long in Monster Train First Class, especially when
the game first comes up. I thought it was broken. There is some violent
content. The animations are light as cards are attacking. The intro cut
scene has some voice acting. There are some language issues in Monster
Train First Class. The music is cool in this game. Between battles we
can choose which direction to take for bonuses.
