The upcoming rogue-like Monster Train 2 has already announced a collaboration with another famous indie rogue-like, Balatro.
The first Monster Train was a deck builder, rogue-like, strategy game. The sequel, Monster Train 2, aims to conserve the same spirit of the original, and add a bunch of new features.
The game is being developed by Shiny Shoe, and published by Big Fan Games. Monster Train 2 has just announced a collaboration with another smash indie hit from last year, Balatro. This collaboration isn’t something very out of pocket, since both are rogue-like deck building games.
Here is everything to know about this collaboration.
