    As it is now, Battle Train is a fun ride, but maybe not everyone should ride these rails just yet.

    Combined with the lack of balance, overly complex mechanics, and brutal CPU opponents, ultimately, I found plenty of roadblocks to my enjoyment in Battle Train. I wanted the art, humor, and overall play experience to mesh better. But sadly, it’s just one deckbuilder that’s hard for this fan to recommend.

    Fans of roguelikes will find Battle Train to be a unique and entertaining blend of strategy and deck-building. Its strongest points are its animation-style presentation and genre-mixing gameplay, which challenge players to think carefully. However, some design choices may feel questionable from a gameplay standpoint and could push away less experienced players.
