Train Hard

Your train is a fortress, and the rails never end. Train Hard is a one-thumb survivors-like for a phone held upright. Your train drives itself up an endless, branching rail network, and your one job is the points: at every junction, tap a branch sign or swipe left or right to choose the line. Every wagon is a weapon that aims and fires on its own, so the route you pick is the whole game. CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE Every branch tells you what lies on it. A village tosses coins onto the line. A station is a shop you roll through. A tunnel gives you cover, then an ambush waits at its mouth. A fort holds a garrison and a chest of coins. A blocked line is a risky shortcut, unless your bolt thrower smashes the barricades first. WAGONS ARE WEAPONS Broadside Cannon, Mortar Car, Flame Car, Volley Gun, Bolt Thrower, Magnet Tender and the Storm Coil. Level up from the soldiers you mow down and pick one of three cards: a new wagon, an upgrade or a cargo perk. The level-up sheet never stops the run: time slows while its clock runs down, so choose fast. FUSE TWO WAGONS Bring two wagons to level 5 and couple them into one double wagon: the Dragon Car, the Grand Battery, the Thunderhead and more recipes to discover. THE BOOK keeps every recipe you find. SIX BOSS TRAINS Armoured trains hunt you on the neighbouring lines: the Raider Train, the Armoured Train that brakes in front of you, the Long Tom that shells the branch you pick, the Minelayer, the Pointsman that throws your points for you, and the Iron Duke. Dodge them, outgun them, or ram them. SHOP AT STATIONS Pull in for a patch-up, buy a wagon or cargo, and reorder your train in the yard so the right guns ride side by side.
