Monster Train

If you like roguelikes with deck-building and don't mind thinking through your tactics, Monster Train is a strong pick. It's a grim but lively story about hell losing its defenses and holding on only because of you. The mood is tense, and every run pushes you to rethink your approach. The highlights: - At first, your time goes to figuring out how the three floors of the train connect and why card placement order matters. - The five clans play noticeably differently, and pairing a main and secondary clan opens up plenty of deck combinations. - Your route across the map decides a lot: power spots and station nodes often matter more than they look at first. - Cards, artifacts and events shift the board so often that identical starts stop feeling repetitive. The purchase comes as a Steam gift: we add you as a friend via your quick invite link and send the game as a gift to your account.

Only you can protect the final burning pyre from the forces of heaven and restore the inferno. Monster Train brings a new strategic layer to roguelike deck building, with three vertical play fields to defend. Visit powerful locations To take back hell, you’ll need to power up. Choose your route carefully, different locations give different benefits; upgrade your champion, recruit powerful units, upgrade cards, gain passive bonuses or duplicate any card in your deck.

You can even duplicate your favourite card at special map nodes before facing off against the final boss.
