A top-rated roguelite deckbuilder with over 18,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews just hit its biggest-ever discount—90% off on Steam. Now just $2.49, but only for a limited time.

Some games come and go, but others carve out a lasting spot in the genre. Monster Train is one of those titles—an addictive deckbuilding roguelite that has managed to remain a favorite among strategy fans since its 2020 release. If you've been on the fence about trying it, now might be the perfect time to do so. The game has just received its biggest discount ever—90% off on Steam, dropping its price to $2.49 for a limited time.

Originally released in May 2020, Monster Train quickly gained a dedicated player base, thanks to its unique multi-lane combat system, where players defend different levels of a moving train while building a powerful deck. The game features five distinct monster clans, each with its own mechanics, and over 220 cards that offer near-endless replayability. On top of that, it includes mod support, daily challenges, and a competitive Hell Rush multiplayer mode, where eight players face off in real-time.

With over 18,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews, Monster Train has garnered a fair number of commendations for its depth, balance, and addictive strategy. It’s been compared favorably to other top-tier deckbuilders but stands out with its layered tactical approach. It also holds a great Metascore of 86. If you haven’t played it yet, this discount is a great excuse to give it a try—especially with a sequel already announced.

This deal won’t last forever, so if you're curious, now’s the time to grab Monster Train, discounted on its usual $24.99 price before the sale ends.
