Monster Train
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.

9/10
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

9/10
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.

Absolutely magnificent
This is a great game, one of the very few best games I've tried on GOG so far. It has immense replayability and a very good level of challenge. People compare it to Slay the Spire; well, I played StS before MT and was underwhelmed (maybe I'm doing something wrong there, but to me its mediocre), so Monster Train was a pleasant surprise and more.

good but a little repeatative
Very well designed with a variety of totally different clans , very fun to play. Downside is only 8 fight quite repeatative (you can add mutators etc but still)

Rewards & Depth
There is surprising depth to Monster Train if you are prepared to put in some time. It's not easy but very rewarding and the only game I keep coming back to. High replayability

Perfect Game
This game feels so perfectly balanced in play-and-replayability with so many factions and synergies to explore, it's absolutely unreal. An absolute banger of a game.
