Press release
The Netherlands-based indie games publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and US-based indie games developer Shiny Shoe, are today very glad and thrilled to announce that their strategic roguelike deck-building game “Monster Train First Class”, is now available for the PS5 via PSN for 24.99.
Today’s news was accompanied by a look at the tactical hellscapes you’ll face in Monster Train:
An adored critical success across PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox, Monster Train challenges you with defending Hell’s final pyre against celestial forces in a dynamic, ever-changing strategic battleground.
Each playthrough offers you a fresh challenge – no run will be the same, from the cards in your deck to the challenges you face. Learn to strategize across multiple vertical lanes simultaneously and craft your deck to perfection to fend off divine invaders, or pay the ultimate price.
Unlock the full potential of your demonic arsenal with:
Over 280 cards to customize your deck
Six unique monster clans, each with distinct gameplay mechanics and varying cards and upgrades to strengthen your deck
This includes the Wurmkin Clan, previously only available through The Last Divinity DLC – which is a part of the base Monster Train experience on PlayStation 5
25 challenging covenant levels to test your strategic prowess
Strategize your way through hellish landscapes, upgrading champions, merging units and unlocking powerful new cards from each clan. Every decision matters as you navigate through different locations, each offering unique advantages to aid your infernal quest.
For multiplayer enthusiasts, engage in the high-stakes Hell Rush mode, where you’ll race against the clock in real-time battles to prove their demonic supremacy.
