About

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 deckbuilding, with three vertical playing fields to defend.
Includes the released updates Wild Mutations and Friends & Foes!

No playthrough is ever the same, it’s a fresh challenge every time.
You’ll never play the same deck twice!
