The dystopian wastelands are unforgiving. Monitor the status of your wagons in real-time throughout your journey, as each serves a distinct and vital purpose. Prevent system failures and keep the gears turning, this rolling empire is your only ticket to survival.

Defend your train against the looming threat of rogue drones. Let your advanced turret system automatically hunt down enemies while you focus on strategy... Or take direct control and enjoy blasting targets to pieces with your own hands!

Haggle with merchants once you reach safe havens. Buy and sell vital mechanical parts for profit, and use your earnings to upgrade your train for the ruthless cross-border journeys ahead. The right upgrade is the fine line between life and death.

How you reach the next stop is entirely up to you. Take dangerous shortcuts to save precious time, or opt for safer but agonizingly long routes. Every choice in the wasteland comes with a price. Are you ready to pay it?
