Should I get Monster Train or Inscryption? (self.gaming)

TL;DR: Which game you like better, Monster Train or Inscryption?

When I first bought Slay The Spire, I thought I was going to hate it. Never been much into deckbuilding games, roguelites even less. I ended up absolutely loving the game. Building unique fun decks, adapting to the RNG, planning a way to beat the heart. I loved every second of it. I spent 500 hours on the game so far. I beat A20 with every character, completed every achievement.

Recently I bought Wildfrost. At first I found it super hard, but devs seem to be very active and developed some QoL improvements that made the game amazing for me. Managing all the keywords and unit placement was hard but very rewarding. I loved the game and would totally recommend giving the new patch a go, it's much more forgiving. I spent 70 hours on the game so far, beat all difficulties and completed every achievement.

Looking to move on to the next deckbuilding roguelite game. Narrowed it down to Inscryption or Monster Train, both seem really nice.

If you own Monster Train would you recommend getting the DLC (it's at sale now) or just the base game and check the DLC later?

Thanks!

I’ve never played monster train, but inscription has a little more going on than just a roguelite. I don’t want to spoil anything, but depending on if that sounds interesting to you, that may be the answer to your question.
