About Apocalypse Express

Apocalypse Express is an action management Roguelike in which the player conducts, upgrades and repairs different parts of the train through endless waves of enemies in a post-apocalyptic setting. Departing the darkness of their lifelong shelter, the player decides to embark on a journey through the wasteland looking to fulfill the dream of seeing the outside world with their own eyes, charting out a map around the few remaining memories of the past world.

Manage the Chaos

Be prepared for some nail-biting tension as you try to keep your train running while balancing putting out fires, collecting resources and dispatching enemies. You won't always be able to take care of every part of the Train so be ready to think fast and smart as things will not go as planned.

Modules

Modules are the foundation of your Build. Fill up your Wagons with various modules each giving you unique abilities. There are Modules for every type of Wastelander. Go full offense by building up an arsenal of cannons, rocket launchers and turrets, obliterating everything in your path. Take the more defensive approach and create an indestructible machine built around disabling enemies, deflecting shots and extinguishing fires, keeping your train healthy and running even through the harshest conditions. Or experiment with other combinations, perhaps go with a speedy train that gets you to your destination faster or even create a completely autonomous system that does all the work for you. Your slots are limited, so choose wisely. 

Upgrades

Once you've assembled your perfect combination of modules it's time to make them shine. Each module can be upgraded in dozens of interesting ways, either by making them more powerful or introducing completely new abilities.

Relics

Relics are the final piece of the puzzle, you can only have a few of them but relics often bring powerful and impactful effects that can be the backbone of some amazing builds! Mix and match them to find the best combination to create the perfect Train.

Maybe it's more fun as a co-op game but single-player, there's too much to manage at once and it just feels bad when seven things go wrong at once because at best you could manage two of them. I bounced off this game hard. Literally unfun.

This game is potentially a 10/10, however I can currently only give it a 9/10 due to it's co-op only being through steam remote play together. Please give us proper peer to peer co-op and it will be an absolute 10/10 game.

I like it

I very much enjoy this game, it's a good concept, well executed, and I can easily recommend it at the price. There's a decent number of metas to choose from, and it's challenging at first, getting easier once you learn the relic and module synergies and unlock some of the specialty trains. Pretty good music too! Overall it's very fun to barrel through the wasteland and obliterate furries. Wait, what?

A stressful but fun micro managing rouge lite that has you being the best Bobby you can be as well as the conductor of a train on a one way trip to Hell, at least it feels like it anyway. It will take some time to get used to everything and I spent the first couple of hours thinking this game was balanced around having the coop going but it really just came down to getting better at taking in information and getting to where I was needed most. Once you can start getting upgrades consistently as well as just finding better mods and gear it should all click into place in your head and you should be able to make it to the end just fine. It's after that where you start putting modifiers on the runs that I wanted to kidnap my friend again because things will get a lot more hectic. For how much I did enjoy my time as well as the uniqueness of the gameplay I can say it's worth the full $10 asking price.
