Battle Train Review: This One Should've Stayed At The Station
Battle Train has a great premise for a roguelike deckbuilder, but it massively fumbles in its execution.
Who knew train-themed deck-building roguelikes would become an entire genre? After countless hours with Monster Train and this year’s sequel, I was eager to try out Battle Train, a completely different take on turn-based locomotive combat. While Monster Train uses train cars as the setting for monster battles, Battle Train turns the trains themselves into weapons. It’s Ticket To Ride meets Thunderdome. Explosions on the Orient Express. The Taking of Pelham 123, if Denzel’s plan to stop the terrorist was to ram another train into the first one. I’m overcomplicating this, it’s just Battle Train.
