About the Game

A sci-fi rail shooter for PC, PCVR and Mac  (also available free on iOS & Android)

Defend your train against waves of AI-controlled robots that run, fly, rocket and roll in pursuit.

  • Fully destructible enemies – Voxels + physical simulation makes for infinite variation in the carnage you unleash.

  • Neural-network AI – Damaged bots limp, crawl or skid to keep the hunt alive.

  • Unlockable weapons & power-ups -
Rail guns, plasma weapons, lasers, missiles and a variety of powerups to fuel the destruction.

  • Optional VR
- Immerse yourself in the chase. Unique integrated zooming allows you to make that distant sharp shot while keeping a gunsight on the enemies at your heels.

  • Two game modes
     • Chase – survive endless pursuit, holding out for the next supply carriage while pushing for the highest score.
     • Node Assault – fight through the defenders and destroy the enemy brain-train to continue your progress towards new weapons and powerups.

Single-player only. Play the core endless gameplay loop for free. One optional DLC unlocks complete progression, allowing all weapons and power-ups to be earned through play.
