Hell has frozen over. Only you can protect the last Pyre from the forces of heaven and make the underworld burn once more. Monster Train brings a new strategic layer to roguelike deck-building, with three vertical play fields to fight on simultaneously. Build a deck of spells and minions from over 220 cards, plan your route carefully, and position your champions with tactical decision-making to win. Choose your monster clans, recruit powerful units, and mix and match upgrades to fit your playstyle and make your deck even mightier.
Monster Train’s frantic Hell Rush online multiplayer mode lets eight players compete in real-time to see who can defeat heaven the fastest. Take on daily global challenges with special gameplay modifiers to test your skill, and design your own unique custom challenges to share with friends.
