How it feels

A deceptively casual strategy game where you build and upgrade train carriages to defend against escalating waves of enemies, blending idle progression with tactical decision-making.

What players say

Players describe an autobattler where you upgrade a train that circles a track, defending a generator. As the run progresses, unlocking All-In and relics opens the game into a no-cap scaling chaos. Sentiment splits on balance a review says some weapons vastly outperform others and the game lacks a guide for specific relics.
