90 on Metacritic: Rogue-like deckbuilder Monster Train 2 is one of the highest reviewed games of the year
In the Monster Train series, there are clear influences from other deckbuilding games with rogue-like elements such as Slay the Spire. However, what sets Monster Train apart is its emphasis on verticality. The train isn’t just a means of transportation; it doubles as a battleground. Players must strategically defend the Pyre, the vital heart of the train that fuels its progression. By constructing a deck brimming with effective strategies and positioning monsters thoughtfully, players can overcome their adversaries and inch closer to ultimate victory on this multi-tiered battlefield.
