You can grind postgame. I wouldn’t say there’s no progression… upgrading everything and everyone to the max would take a huge amount of money. I played for a few days after the end of the game but I was pretty much ready to move on from the game at that point. Absolutely loved it though… it’s worth picking up.
I’m 2/3rd of the way through the game… I put it on hold for BG3 and AC6. I’ll finish ff16 eventually.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed myself with 16. My biggest complaint is that the game “gets in its own way” so much. I think I’ve spent more time in cutscenes than I have playing the game. (It’s pretty telling that I have a friend that’s skipping through all of the cutscenes in NG+ and he’s having a blast.)
The story is alright. I’ve had fun with it (though I wish the cutscenes were shorter or less frequent). My biggest complaint is that it takes waaaaayyyyyy too much inspiration from Game of Thrones. There were plenty of moments where it became distracting.
Gameplay is fun. If you played through the second section of the demo, you should have an idea of how it feels for most of the game. There’s decent flexibility to it and i feel like it hit a good balance of letting me put together combos that felt strong but not too broken.
Inscryption > monster train by a wide margin. Go into it as blind as possible. Don’t look anything up. It’s the most memorable deck builder that I’ve ever played. I wish I could erase the game from my mind so that I could experience all over again.
Monster train was fun but I felt like there were runs that were pretty much unwinnable from the start due to RNG. Unlike Slay the Spire, some of the classes just didn’t feel viable. I only played it with the DLC enabled so I’m not entirely certain how the base game felt.
TL;DR there’s absolutely no situation where I would ever pick Monster Train over Inscryption
