    It says a lot about a game when writing its review makes us want to close the laptop, boot up the Xbox and return to play it. So it is with Monster Train on Xbox, which chucks out a lot of Slay the Spire’s baggage to create a ride that’s more breakneck and exhilarating. Monster Train is more-ish to the extreme, and we’d worry about our social lives, if there was any social life to be had right now.

Set on a train to hell, you’ll use tactical decision making to defend multiple vertical battlegrounds. With real time competitive multi player and endless replay ability, Monster Train is always on time. This game is not meant for everyone but most games aren't made for everyone, however if you like even a bit of TCG I promise you're going to loose yourself in the Monster Train world. The effects of the combo's you can make and the story line and being on the bad side is a nice change and makes it seem an extra special difference in a way for me. As long as there are no extra effects or modes each turn you draw a card and you have a mana to play them according to your strategy your minions or cards attacks to your enemies and you trying to prevent them reach to your core. This located on the fourth floor and each round the enemies you couldn't kill moves up a floor .There's tons of cards you can discover and a plenty of game modes. You can also challenge online players real time like a line race (who completes it first) etc. When I first started playing Monster Train It took me couple days to get used to it, but after that it becomes something more than just something to play it became a game i wanted to play on my Xbox.

It offers tons of options, probably most complex deck builder created to this date. Definitely recommended, hundreds of hours of great gameplay. One of the best along with Slay the Spire and Castle of Morihisa. Full Review »

There's a decent amount of choice in decks as you can pair various factions, each with their own theme. It's fun, but there isn't much variety in enemies or bosses. After a few runs, I felt like I had seen most of what the game had to offer. Full Review »
