Critic Reviews for Monster Train 2: Destiny of the Railforged
But it’s the unexpected that makes this a winner. The Souls mechanic, an upgradeable new artifact system, is a peach. It makes Monster Train 2 more overblown and ludicrous than it was before, all while tempting us to replay over and over. More of this in Monster Train 3, if you please.
Easy to learn, hard to master, perhaps even more difficult to complete. It is a roguelite so even if you complete one run, you probably haven’t fully seen everything there is to see. The positive with this DLC is that while it is more of the same Monster Train 2 you’ve come to love, there’s more than enough to rejuvenate the game. Especially for those who love the challenge. The addition of a separate logbook and the ability to make sure that no one can get the story out of order would probably make this a perfect DLC. Perhaps in time these small tidbits will be added. Even without this, the DLC is well worth your time. If you’re a Monster Train 2 fan who has stepped away for a bit, now is the time to return.
We started playing the new Monster Train 2 DLC, Destiny of the Railforged, expecting something that probably wouldn't impress us that much, but we were surprised by how difficult it was to stop playing. And that's exactly what we've always loved about Monster Train. Of course, now we have to relearn a lot of things, because there are so many new features and so many new modes that it takes a while to digest everything. But it's a great feeling. For the price it's selling for, it's a real bargain, so try it for yourself.

Monster Train 2: Destiny of the Railforged is a great way to get a new experience out of what is already a fantastic roguelike. It’s tough, but fantastic new systems and the brilliant new Railforged clan make it so fun to experiment with. I can’t wait to see what else they can do.
Luckily the Railforged and Wurmkin have expanded that facet of the base game. Out February 2, the package is a no-brainer at the respectful $10 price, and generously widens this moreish deckbuilder—the best in gaming. It'll hold that title for me until another deckbuilder lets me use mass-produced steampunk spiders, each wielding giant hammers that generate gold coins and armor every time they swing, to obliterate the corrupted mother of creation.
