About the Game

Ride. Die. Upgrade. Repeat.

Engine of Chaos is a top-down action roguelite where your only hope is a heavily armed train barreling through a world

overrun by the dead and worse. Strap turrets, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, tesla coils, and plasma cannons to your

carriages. Keep the engine fueled. Keep moving. Stop and you're dead.

Build Your War Machine

Collect and attach over 20 carriage types to your train. Each one changes how you fight. Stack flak cannons for crowd

control, load up on fuel carriages for long hauls, or go all-in on tesla coils and watch the lightning arc between hordes.

Every run is a different loadout.

Six Hostile Environments

Fight through scorching deserts, abandoned industrial zones, overgrown forests, ruined cities, alien hive colonies, and the depths of hell itself. Each biome brings new enemy types, new threats, and new ways to die.

Over 40 Enemy Types

From shambling walkers to burrowing horrors, bomber bats, acid spitters, riot shield zombies, and towering bone colossi.

Every environment throws something new at you. Learn their patterns or get overwhelmed.

Upgrade Everything

Hit checkpoints to repair, refuel, and upgrade. Improve your hull, speed, weapons, and ram damage. Upgrade individual

carriage types to make them deadlier. Spend your points wisely because the next stretch is always harder than the last.

Keep Moving or Die

Run out of fuel and you stall. Stall too long and it's over. Take too much damage and the train explodes in a chain of

fireballs from caboose to engine. Every run is a push to see how far you can get before the horde catches up.
