A world where angels and demons team up to fight against powerful beings called Titans.

This game is all about strategy and survival as you command different clans aboard trains, battling through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss.

You'll need to defend three vertical levels against dangerous enemies, recruit powerful units, and upgrade cards to survive. The challenge is real, especially with the introduction of ultra-challenging Titans.
One of the coolest features is the new types of cards: Room and Equipment Cards. Room Cards boost your train's capabilities, giving you strategic advantages. Equipment Cards enhance your units with various bonuses, making battles more dynamic and exciting.
After each run, you'll visit the Covenant Outpost, a bustling hub where you can access core features and interact with characters to move the story forward. Pyre Hearts add unique functionalities to gameplay, helping you customize your runs and advance the story.
If you're up for a challenge, try the Dimensional Challenges mode. It offers handcrafted challenges, new Mutators, and unique cosmetic rewards. You can also customize your train with new parts and compare your achievements with friends using the improved Logbook.
Daily Challenges keep the game fresh with modified runs featuring new mutators. Compete globally and climb the leaderboards with a skill-focused scoring system. Celestial Alcoves bring random events with exciting gameplay and surprises from outside the Monster Train universe.
For those who love a good test of endurance, Endless Mode offers ever-increasing difficulty. See how long you can survive and compare your stats with friends. This mode was highly requested by players of the original game, so it's a welcome addition.
