Dear travelers,
We have exciting news about Railroads & Catacombs!
After months of refinement, our courageous train, guiding us through thorns and darkness, is about to unveil itself in a new form. We have added numerous new features and are preparing to release the free prologue in a few days, allowing you to experience the game's transformative changes firsthand.
In "Railroads & Catacombs", we have completely upgraded the Rogue levels, which were already challenging, and introduced a brand-new gameplay element: the ability to build and gear up your train and recruit crew members!
Moving forward, players will no longer control just a single character but a multi-character team, with each expedition dispatching one team member at a time.
Unique and distinct crew members: Members bring their own classes and card deck derived from two different combat styles. Each adventure grants individual experience boosts and card enhancements to your men. However, there is a risk of permanent consequences, as team members may get injured and become unfit for battle or even perish.
Collaboration is key: As different classes determine each member's role on the train. Doctors excel in healing, while Engineers possess construction expertise. With each crew member's unique strengths, only by uniting the power of the team you can survive in this post-apocalyptic world.
Building Your Train:
The train serves as the player's unique safe haven in the game, and we want it to be more than just a background setting. It will have practical functions and special roles.
The train starts as an Engineering Cabin, and players can continuously add different functional carriages. The Void Portal carriage allows recruiting different team members as companions. The Cabala Library unlocks technology and serves as a prerequisite for upgrading other carriages. The Infirmary Cabin allows doctor crew members to treat the wounded. The Training Room allows members to further enhance their abilities through training. The train will become a valuable asset for your adventures.
Here are the specific content updates:
- The 35-level difficulty system has been replaced with the Campaign mode, where bosses have four difficulty levels for players to challenge, and you can freely select the difficulty for replay. Different difficulties not only involve numerical differences but also introduce more skills and aggression in boss encounters.
- The train car construction system has been modified. After this update, there will be 12 diverse train cars available for construction, each with unique functions. Every car can also be upgraded, including the Engineering Cabin, Void Portal, Recruiting Barracks, Infirmary, Cabala Library, and more. Additional train cars will be released in the future.
- The character development system has undergone significant changes, allowing gameplay with a team composed of multiple characters. Each character possesses their own classes, combat style, and card deck. Currently, the game features five classes: Soldier, Engineer, Doctor, Scholar, and Psychiatrist. There are six combat styles can be paired in various combinations with 120 different card effects. We invite you to experience the specific effects and actions in the game. We are also planning a sixth class.
- The game has added story elements. We hope that the combination of text and CG artwork will create a more immersive atmosphere for players. Dynamic camera angles have been implemented during battles to better capture your spectacular moments.
- Various bugs have been fixed.
- With the release of the prologue, we are getting closer to the official launch. We hope you maintain your excitement, and if you enjoy this game, please consider adding it to your wishlist!
The prologue includes:
- Recruiting team members of different combat styles using the Void Portal to form your exploration vanguard!
