Imagine if Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer were set not in the frozen wasteland of a ruined Earth, but in the depths of Hell instead. I know that’s a strange thing to ask of you, but there’s a good reason for it. New on Xbox Game Pass this month is a game with that exact premise that’s also a reinvention of the deckbuilding roguelike format with a sequel on the way.
Monster Train is the first new Game Pass addition of March, coming to the subscription service on March 4. It’s a card-based battler with some similarities to the giant of the genre, Slay the Spire, but with some changes that make it a whole different beast.
