Xbox Game Pass Just Quietly Added The Most Original Card Game In Years
Briefly

Monster Train, new on Xbox Game Pass as of March 4, offers an inventive spin on the deckbuilding roguelike genre. Set in a hellish landscape where demons battle to reignite the eternal flame, players engage in strategic card-based combat aboard a multi-level train. The game's mechanics require players to effectively use spells and monsters to thwart heavenly adversaries, creating a unique and strategic experience reminiscent of Magic the Gathering while still retaining elements familiar to fans of Slay the Spire. Players must protect their Pyre from invaders, adding to the challenge and excitement of gameplay.
Monster Train creatively reimagines classic deckbuilding roguelikes by setting players on a train through Hell, merging strategy and fantasy in a novel card-based battle system.
In Monster Train, players use a card-based system to battle celestial forces, strategizing the placement of spells and units across the train's multi-level design.
