About Monster Train

✦ AI summary

Defend hell's final pyre across three vertical battlefields by building a unique deck from five monster clans, each offering wildly different strategic gameplay and countless card upgrade combinations. With over 220 cards, five clans to mix-and-match, 25 difficulty levels, and daily challenges, no two runs ever feel the same.


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.

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.

No playthrough is ever the same


You’ll never play the same deck twice!
  • Over 220 cards, build up your deck from 10 different starterdecks
  • 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
  • Mod support through Steam Workshop
  • Upgrade any card twice
  • More than 21 unique random events
  • 25 covenant (difficulty) levels

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.

CUSTOM CHALLENGE
Design your own unique challenge and share it with friends. Each custom challenge has its own leaderboard so you can send your friends straight to hell.

Great deckbuilder! Easy to get into if you know the genre. Fast progress.

The loop is really fun and variable based on what classes you pair. Maybe 15-20 minutes per go. Easy to get sucked in for longer than you would think.
