The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A strategic, tense deckbuilding battle on a fiery train where each move matters as you defend against relentless waves of enemies.

What players say
Players compare Monster Train to Slay the Spire, with many saying it is the better game for its variety and complexity. Runs take about 15-20 minutes and the game is easy to drop in and out of. Players are split on balance: some say it is poorly balanced while others highlight the fun of overpowering units. A few note poor Steam Deck performance, with Monster Train 2 working better.
