    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The sheer scope of choice Monster Train offers for strategy is amazing, and the fact it took two years to come to mobile is criminal. It’s a simple premise but is so engaging and endlessly fun, and the three floors of combat add such an interesting twist to the gameplay. It cannot be put any simpler than this; Monster Train is a game everyone needs to have on their phone.

    This deck-building roguelite is fantastic for on-the-go play, even if the mobile port isn’t perfect.

    Deckbuilder meets tower defense meets roguelike. Think Slay the Spire, but prettier, more balanced in the way of oh-my-goodness did I just break it again what was that DAMAGE I JUST DID-so-fun type feelings. Easy to get into, easy to stay in also.

    This game allows you to, and encourages you so easily, to absolutely break the game. It's not an one-off occurrence as it is with games like Slay The Spire or other roguelikes/deck games, it's a structural thing. And despite that the challenge is there, steadily increasing after each clear.

    Seriously, do yourself a favor and play it.
