The second Monster Train 2 DLC, The Punished, is now live! The DLC is $7.99 and available on Steam, PS5, Xbox, and Microsoft Store.
The Punished expands the Monster Train 2 world with a brand new clan, the Punished. But this clan brings more surprises than new units and Class Mechanics, it also brings back an enemy from the original Monster Train, Archus!
This time, however, he is working with you, not against you!
Archus, Darkness the Incarnate, middle child and brother of Seraph and Fel, is back. After Seraph threw him into Heaven’s Maw, Archus rose as the leader of the Punished. Archus introduces an array of new abilities, namely PUNISH, ZEAL, and PUNISH. This is in addition to an ability those who are fans of the original Monster Train might find one that might be somewhat familiar to fans of the original Monster Train: GRIM FLIGHT, which spawns the same Darkshards players had to fight before!
Full of twists and turns, Archus is a champion who embodies revenge. Players once fought him when he was on Seraph’s side; now the very powers that might have had players pulling their hair out in frustration are working for them!
The second champion of the Punished clan, Zariel, is a mysterious figure. No one quite knows where she came from, how she ended up in Heaven’s Maw, or why she was ever cast down into the oubliettes beneath Heaven. Rumors say she chose to descend into the shadowy depths, but that is ludicrous. For who would choose such a fate?
Her goals are a mystery, and her reasons for joining Archus are her own. What is known are her powers, which come to the forefront with each of her three Champion Paths: Matriarch of Chains, Pain Maiden, and Devout.
In Monster Train 2’s newest DLC, the Punished, this unique new clan comes with a new Class Mechanic called The Monolith. During Combat, players can offer ‘tributes’ to the Monolith by spending 1 EMBER and discarding a random card.
As the ‘tributes’ increase, so does the level of DEVOTION. DEVOTION carries over between combats and, when a certain level is reached, the Monolith’s level increases.
With each increase of the Monolith’s level, friendly units enter the combat with more ZEAL.
All this and more are available to play, today! Check out Monster Train 2's second DLC, The Punished, on Steam, PS5, Xbox, and Microsoft Store.
