Take Control



In Rail Recon, you are taking control of a reconnaissance robot tasked with discovering the depths and secrets of an old mining facility, known as "Project Tunnel". Communication with the outside world is cut, and armed only with a laser cannon you must fight through the facility's defenses to complete your mission.
  • Mazes of rails and puzzle-like traps make it clear, you are not welcome here.
  • Armed with a Laser cannon you must take out enemies on your way to the exit.
  • Collect crystals to power massive doors leading you to the next level.
  • Use your energy shield to absorb incoming fire, or destroy enemies by ramming them.


The Mining Facility



"Project Tunnel" was set up to create the world's first fully mechanized mining facility, but mysterious events sometime after its opening caused it to be shut down, leaving it abandoned. Now, years later, the surrounding areas are pestered with earthquakes and the mine is re-opened for investigation.

Finding the source of the anomaly draws many new investors.
Or are they attracted by the stories, stories about rare green crystals with an unimaginable power ...


Break into the mine. Discover its secrets. Escape.

"Rail Recon" is a student project from the Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. This year the students were tasked with making a really mediocre twin stick shooter with a twist... you're on train tracks. Yep, that's it. I can just imagine the first day learning to become a game developer when the lecturer says, "In order to be a successful game developer, you must make a game with train tracks". I do hope the students got their money back. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valua…

Игра Rail Recon оказалась неожиданно увлекательной головоломкой. Простая на первый взгляд концепция – прокладывать железнодорожные пути, чтобы доставить груз – быстро перерастает в сложные и требующие стратегического мышления задачи. Разные типы вагонов, ограниченные ресурсы и постоянно растущая сложность уровней не дают заскучать. Графика, конечно, не хватает звезд с неба, но выполнена в приятном минималистичном стиле, который не отвлекает от игрового процесса. Музыкальное сопровождение ненавязчивое и хорошо дополняет атмосферу игры. Особенно порадовала система подсказок, которая не дает прямого решения, а скорее направляет в нужном направлении, позволяя самостоятельно докопаться до истины. Единственный минус – иногда управление может показаться немного неудобным, особенно на мобильных устройствах, но к этому быстро привыкаешь. В целом, Rail Recon - это отличный выбор для любителей головоломок, требующих логики и пространственного мышления. Игра затягивает надолго и оставляет положительные впечатления. Рекомендую!

good game idea

As a proof of concept, this is great - as a fully fledged game what's here is too brief and to basic to be worth the time.
