Hold onto your conductor hats and prepare for the most outrageous showdown ever imagined on the rails! Terrible Posture Games, the creative minds behind Tower of Guns and Mothergunship, have teamed up with the innovative developers at Nerd Ninjas to announce their latest venture: Battle Train. This explosive and eccentric game is set to hit the tracks in Q1 2025, promising a blend of chaos, strategy, and humour.
All aboard the Battle Train!
Battle Train is not your typical train game. It’s an over-the-top, explosive duelling experience combined with the strategic elements of deck and track building, all set against the lively backdrop of a game show. Players will outfit their trains, lay tracks towards their enemy’s base, and unleash a barrage of outrageous attacks—from dynamite explosions to natural disasters. And, of course, all of this comes wrapped in the hilarious, family-friendly banter that fans of Terrible Posture Games have come to love.
In Battle Train, you’ll navigate through a series of duels, each more bizarre and challenging than the last. The objective? To obliterate your opponent’s base and climb the ranks of the Battle Train game show, aiming for the ultimate title of Supreme President Conductor. But that’s not all—you’ll also be vying for a coveted complimentary copy of “Battle Train: The Home Edition!”
Meet the cast and crew
The game’s quirky premise is complemented by an equally colourful cast of characters, each bringing their own flavour to the chaotic mix. As you progress through the game, you’ll get to know the personalities behind the Battle Train game show, adding layers of narrative depth and entertainment to your explosive adventures.
This isn’t just a game about tracks and trains; it’s a full-fledged entertainment experience. The developers at Terrible Posture Games and Nerd Ninjas have poured their creative energies into making sure every element—from the gameplay mechanics to the characters and storylines—keeps players engaged and laughing.
Strategic mayhem
At its core, Battle Train blends strategic deck-building with track-laying mechanics. Players will need to carefully choose their cards and plan their track layouts to outmanoeuvre and outgun their opponents. With each match, you’ll need to think on your feet and adapt to the unpredictable twists and turns that the game throws your way.
The gameplay involves a dynamic mix of offence and defence. Will you focus on building the most direct path to your enemy’s base for a quick strike, or will you lay intricate traps and diversions to slow them down? The choice is yours, and every decision could tip the balance between victory and a spectacular derailment.
