All Aboard! Battle Train is leaving the station this June for PC and Switch
Bandai Namco have announced that they are going to publish Battle Train, a deck n’ track roguelite being developed by Terrible Posture Games, Inc. and Nerd Ninjas LLC. Check out the new trailer for the game below.
Battle Train is set against a backdrop of the world’s most exciting game show of the same name, where players take on the role of contestants to engage in train combat against Rival Champions. By collecting and playing cards, contestants build tracks to unlock resources, protect their own bases, and attack enemy structures. Tracks are played on the grid by using cards, each with a resource cost. Connect a track to an enemy base to send a locomotive on a one-way ticket to the enemy, chock full of explosives. Destroy the rival conductor’s bases first to win the round, which provides new deck cards, currency for customization, train upgrades, and more. Players must devise strategies to build the right decks and out-blast opponents in a battle to become the Supreme President Conductor.
“We were on board with BATTLE TRAIN from the moment we met the creative teams behind it and had a chance to play this unforgettable deckbuilding game. What struck us with BATTLE TRAIN is its innovations in visual style, narrative backdrop and combination of genres, all of it coming together to create an explosive experience that’s incredibly fun and remains a joy as you play over and over again.”
The game is coming to PC and Nintendo Switch on June 18, so there is plenty of time to buy a ticket, but if you are unsure or want to board early, there is a demo available now on Steam.
