What is Monster Train 2?

A turn-based roguelike deckbuilder where you recruit units, upgrade cards, and defend three stacked train levels during runs through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss. Angels and demons join forces against Titans that have seized Heaven, while clan choices, Room cards, Equipment cards, and random events shape each run.

  • +you prefer single-player strategy centered on careful turn planning

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike builds being hard-countered by particular enemies
  • −you prioritize story and dialogue over card strategy
  • −you want a major departure from the original game

What players say

94% of 8,902 reviews are positive · 92% of 90 in the last 30 days

Players praise the range of cards, clan combinations, and synergies, especially the Room and Equipment cards, and many consider it a broad refinement of the first game. Common complaints are that some bosses or enemy abilities counter otherwise successful builds, while the growing number of effects can make planning and the interface hard to read.
