About this game
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.

1.1 - More Biome Variety, New Train, New Upgrades, Milestone Bugfixes
Hey! Version 1.1 is now LiveFirst we want to thank everyone for all the support, bug reports and awesome reviews. The whole team is super proud of what we accomplished! Please keep the bug reports coming, we are trying to react to them as much as possible and have already fixed over 100 bugs since 1.0. Also for the people who have been playing for some time now, feel free to also share some suggestions and ideas of things that you would potentially like to see in the game. Best place to do that would be our official discord: https://discord.gg/5H8Vnacakz Last thing to mention is what we want to do for 1.2, and that's a visual rework for the map, its currently the ugliest part of the game, and we would want to give it a nice facelift so it matches the rest of the art. And also getting an endless mode in, where the most hardcore players can have a chance to test their skills. Also we are currently exploring how to add customizable keybinds, its a big change that requires lots of fixes and changes in the systems, but we will do our best to get that in as well.Patch NotesAdditions/Balance Additional Biome Variety, now each biome changes progressively as you go deeper into it.
