Description
Friends & Foes update
The exiled champions have returned to the fold to battle the forces of heaven. This second major update for Monster Train adds new champions, new bosses, new cards, and new artifacts, which combine together to add a significant amount of new strategic options and replayability. We’ve also added a number of frequently requested player features like a personal run records page in the Logbook, an enemy wave counter in battle, and a preview of the ring 3 and ring 6 bosses at the start of a run.

Wild Mutations is the first (free) content update for Monster Train. We're excited to tell you, there’s more on the way! In THIS content update we up the playing field with 35 new mutators, new difficulty settings for experienced players and new simple ways to challenge friends and community. In the coming months more content will be released to extend your travel plans to Hell!


Hell has frozen over. 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.


No playthrough is ever the same

You’ll never play the same deck twice!
  • Over 220 cards
  • 5 monster clans with each very different gameplay
  • Each clan has 10 levels to unlock, bringing new cards to your deck
  • Upgrade your clan specific champion multiple times
  • 88 artifacts
  • Upgrade any card twice
  • More than 21 unique random events
  • 25 covenant (difficulty) levels

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.

Strategize to fit your playstyle

With five clans to choose from, each has its own unique and surprising gameplay. Pick your primary and supporting clan to gain access to all cards from both. During your run you will be able to improve cards by mixing and matching upgrades to open up new roads to victory. You can even duplicate your favourite card at special map nodes before facing off against the final boss.

Multiplayer

HELL RUSH In the Hell Rush multiplayer mode, eight players compete in a frantic real time contest. Each player has the same resources and opponents to create a level playing field. With the clock ticking it’s a test of who can make the best decisions under pressure. Only a true speed demon can remain undefeated.

DAILY CHALLENGE

Take on a new challenge every day with a hugely modified run due to gameplay mutators. Compete globally and against friends, and climb the leaderboards with a skill-focused scoring system.

Cross-play multiplayer with Steam is supported.

Monster Train may seem simple at first, but hours melt away with disturbing ease as you attempt to break the game – then break it even more as the challenge rises

Do you like Slay The Spire? If so, you should absolutely try Monster Train's more tactical spin on the deck-building roguelike, which literally layers on new ideas and has every bit as much depth and variety.

Theme is overdone, but gameplay is solid

Yes, it's another "the good guys are actually bad and the bad guys are just trying to servive", but it's actually a really good Slay the Spire like. The 3 floors aren't too overwhelming, and the upgrades between each fight keep you going. Overall a good game.

Fun Quick Game

Fun game. Can definitely fall into the 'just one more run" trap with this one.

Alotta Fun

Played many games like this, not sure why this one seems to scratch the itch the others dont but I love the art style and huge amount of different synergies. I play on random just because I seem to find something powerful and new each run
