About the Game

As a veteran conductor traversing the IronLine you have been tasked with a final mission. The final station is on the brink of destruction and you are to deliver life-saving cargo.

The IronLine is a unforgiving and harsh environment crawled with bugs and other monstrosities. You have been given permission to use any means necessary to defend your cargo.

With turrets at your disposal you are to travel down the track disposing anything that dares to takes you cargo.
Place, upgrade or even change layouts to reach that final destination.
