Monster Train 2

Titans have taken control of Heaven, prompting former angels and demons to join forces. You command their train as it travels through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss to confront the threat. In turn-based battles, you place units across three train floors and use cards to strengthen allies or hinder enemies. Waves advance toward the Pyre above, so you must plan where to fight and how to keep it safe. Each run lets you pair two clans with different cards and strengths, then develop your strategy through card upgrades, equipment for units, and room cards that affect a floor. Battles, shops, random events, and boss encounters shape each journey; daily challenges, handcrafted dimensional challenges, and an endless mode offer other ways to play.

Command an angel-demon train crew, build a deck, and defend its three floors from waves climbing toward your Pyre.
