In Monster Train+, the player must defend the final burning pyre from the celestial forces of heaven. This roguelite deck-building game introduces a new strategic layer with three vertical playing fields to defend. With over 250 cards to unlock and six distinct monster clans to discover, players will have to strategise to fit unique clan abilities, and tackle daily and custom challenges. This version of the game also includes The Last Divinity DLC, an epic expansion that brings more challenges and an additional clan called the Wurmkin.

In this relaxing game, players will decipher increasingly challenging clues to solve puzzles in their living room. They will slowly remove blocks from the puzzle by logically carving away the unnecessary cubes, revealing a cute collectible buried within the cube, called a Deco Object. Players can arrange Deco Objects anywhere in their real-world space. There are plenty of puzzles and adorable Deco Objects to collect for hours of cosy, puzzle-solving fun.
Alongside new game launches, Apple Arcade players can continue to enjoy their favourite hit titles on the service with new content updates each month. In the coming weeks, players can check out special collaborations for fan-favourite games across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
