Game Pass Hit Roguelike Deckbuilder Finally Comes to PS5

Monster Train, a critically acclaimed roguelike deckbuilder, is making its way to PlayStation 5. Already a fan favorite on PC, Switch, and Xbox, this game offers a fresh twist on the genre popularized by Slay the Spire. Instead of slaying monsters, you're defending against angelic foes to protect a fire that must reach the underworld. With unique, strategic mechanics and a mix of tower defense, Monster Train has garnered high ratings across multiple platforms. Priced at $24.99, PlayStation owners can now enjoy this highly addictive game that has already captivated over 1.5 million players.

Monster Train differs from Slay the Spire by its unique premise: you defend against waves of enemies to protect a fire, blending deckbuilding with tower defense mechanics. The game's strategy revolves around capacity management, summoning demons within limited spaces, and adapting your deck to counter various threats, offering a distinct and engaging experience in the roguelike deckbuilder genre.

Monster Train first launched in May 2020 on PC, and has since expanded its reach to Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and now PlayStation 5. Developed by Shiny Shoe and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, the game has been consistently praised for its originality and depth, with a vast array of cards and strategies to explore. Its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass significantly boosted its player base, cementing its reputation as a must-play title in its category.
