About Railbreak
✦ AI summary
Blast through zombie-infested Cypress Ridge in this arcade-style on-rails shooter that recaptures the glory of '90s lightgun games with Unreal Engine 5 graphics and gore-filled action. Face endless undead alone or with a friend across six story scenarios plus bonus modes like Onslaught, Boss Rush, and the chaotic procedurally-generated Glitch Gauntlet.
It's Saturday night in Cypress Ridge which means the city is in ruins, hordes of flesh eating undead are on the prowl, and you have the arcade all to yourself! Grab your lightgun (or keyboard, mouse, or gamepad), select your survivor, and blast your way to safety as the city burns around you in this on-rails survival horror shooter. Oh, and don't forget to bring a friend for zombie fodder, er, we mean multiplayer experience!
Railbreak melds a classic on-rails arcade experience with the cutting edge Unreal Engine 5. In this prelude to Outbreak: Shades of Horror, you'll get an opportunity to see the sights and sounds of Cypress Ridge and get chomped on by a zombie or four! Face the city alone, or bring a friend along with optional 2-player co-op supported across the entire game
Featuring a wide cast of survivors each with their own loadouts and traits, you'll find plenty of replayability in this absurd take of a survival horror game in a survival horror game. A full story mode experience awaits across six scenarios. Bonus modes include Score Attack, and the endless Onslaught Mode that keeps ratcheting up the difficulty until the undead finally seal your fate, as well as Boss Rush, the Shoutout Shootout, and the rogue-like semi-procedurally generated Glitch Gauntlet where anything can happen!
Crack open your piggy bank, snag a fizzy soda, and take a trip back to the 1990’s arcade.
Features:Score tracking across every mode in the game!

It's really not that good. I'm a sucker for rail shooter games, but this is just not it. I played two levels and was done with it. The animations aren't good, the game feels janky and buggy, and even with a bunch of stuff happening on screen, it's boring. I'd have gotten a refund if I hadn't gotten this in a bundle. Save your money for one of the many other rail shooters that are actually fun.2 found this helpful
This game is a lot of fun and works with the Retroshooter RS3 reapers with minimal effort. I'd say it's light gun compatible.1 found this helpful
it reminds me of house of he dead over kill great play length too you won't be sorry a arcade like clissic
No. Just no. It is bad. If you want a good game in this genre then better buy Blue Estate instead.
I actually thoroughly liked this game! Just needs a bit more variety in the environments! I would love a sequel! And maybe add some collectales ala house of the dead gold coins or RE blue coins. Polish up the menus a bit and give me some basic cutscenes....this game immediately improves. Good game if you are from the era of House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, Sega days.
Took some fiddling to get Steam Deck triggers to work, but the game itself is amazing. Set the right trigger as the left mouse click, and follow CMM's settings guide, and you'll be gold.
