Original Steam description

A rogue AI has weaponized an entire mining colony's autonomous fleet. Command the Ironfront Express in this roguelite lane-defense and fight through waves of corrupted industrial machines. Build your train car by car and experiment with devastating loadouts. Manually target with your primary weapon, deploy turrets, field drones, and activate abilities as you push toward the rogue AI core buried in the planet's depths.

  • Defend against waves of corrupted mining drones, remnants of a failed colonization operation on an abandoned planet

  • Customize your train, express yourself with full colorways. 

  • Command the Ironfront Express: a cargo train retrofitted to be a heavily armed, robot-killing death train.

  • Manually control your primary weapon in real-time while your emplacements hold back the tide.

  • 30+ truly unique enemies that don't just run it down and feed. They attack turrets and specialized mining bots wreak havoc on your line in various ways

  • 7 unique bosses to face

  • Choose from three Train engines ("Cores"), each with distinct stats, abilities, and module loadouts

  • Each run aims to be unique and conducive to generating various builds.

  • Has procedurally built levels as well as handcrafted waves.

  • Unlock modules and Cores as you level up. Progression is about expanding your tactical options.

  • Uncover the story of the mining colony's collapse. The world is littered with random encounters with the mechanical denizens of the planet, opportunities, and high-risk detours.

  • Build your train car by car. Each compartment has 'Active Slots' (weapons, drones, abilities) and 'Passive Slots' (augments, systems)

  • 50+ Active Modules with 8 upgrade tiers each, including 4 unique modifications per module.

  • 150+ Passive Modules with stackable effects and build synergies.
