*Monster Train* has finally made its way to Android, bringing its unique brand of roguelite deck-building action to mobile players. Originally launched on PC in 2020, followed by console and iOS versions, this dark fantasy title is now fully optimized for touchscreens—offering a rich, strategic experience that fans of the genre will appreciate.
Set aboard a train racing through a frozen inferno, *Monster Train* challenges you to defend the last burning pyre from waves of heavenly invaders. It’s a fresh twist on the tower defense and deck-building hybrid, drawing comparisons to titles like *Slay the Spire*, but with its own signature mechanics.
One of the standout features is the game’s use of three vertical lanes in combat. Unlike traditional single-lane setups, *Monster Train* asks you to manage multiple fronts simultaneously, adding a layer of depth and strategy rarely seen in mobile card games.
As you progress, you’ll unlock over 250 cards across five distinct monster clans. Each clan offers a completely different playstyle, and the option to combine two at once opens up endless tactical possibilities. With ten levels of upgrades per clan, your favorite strategies can evolve the more you play. Champions serve as powerful recurring units and can be upgraded multiple times to devastating effect.
The Android version includes all major post-launch content updates, ensuring you get the full experience right from the start:
Yes, *Monster Train* is designed to work flawlessly on Android devices. The game runs entirely offline, so you can enjoy it even in airplane mode. A one-time purchase of $10 unlocks the full game (in-app purchases are limited to this). Your Google Play account syncs your purchase across devices, and cloud saves ensure no progress is lost when switching phones.
Please note that while gameplay is smooth and intuitive via touchscreen, controller support is currently not available. If you're looking for deep, replayable content in a mobile card battler, *Monster Train* is definitely worth checking out on the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatever).
