About the Game

You, as part of an assault team with air support, infiltrate the enemy's echelon. Your objectives: destroy military assets, eliminate personnel (priority: commanding officers), and gather classified documents. Your primary objective: locate and destroy nuclear weapons. Group evacuation, upon mission completion, will take place at the collection point—the train's head.

  • Gameplay
    Nuclear train assault in arcade shooter-platformer mechanics. You will face intense battles in confined spaces with an enemy superior in numbers and firepower, requiring optimal and safer routes while overcoming various obstacles.

  • Missions
    Platforms for transporting equipment, freight cars for weapons and ammunition, personnel carriers, laboratories, command centers, and other specialized cars. Combinations of over 40 cars create varied gameplay situations.

  • Enemies
    Train escorts include soldiers from different military branches: special forces, paratroopers, marines. Each has unique combat tactics requiring tailored strategies.

  • Boss fights
    Missions are divided into sectors, each culminating in tougher opponents or scenarios.

  • Road conditions
    Railways are high-risk zones! The train moves at high speed. Obstacles—supports, bridges, tunnels—along the route are life-threatening. Be cautious!
