About
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.
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 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.
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 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.

Good train-survival-tower-defense roguelite. Quite challenging if you are playing it alone, which is a welcome change. Also.... the ending is WEIRD. Not the best of its kind, but very much recommended.
Neat little roguelite inspired by FTL, with spaces for modules, hull points, scrap, node based exploration, etc. With a few key differences: 1) One man army. You only control a single guy, no crew to manage. 2) In conjunction with that, the action is all real time (by design), so no strategic pause. 3) Mostly manual aiming/firing of weapons. These 3 elements combined make for some hectic segments, for better or worse, so if you're averse to real time decision making, then maybe pass on this one. Overall, I think the developer succeeded in making a decent clone of FTL, with a neat thematic setting (post-apocalypse) and mechanically different enough. It does not come close to matching the overall polish of FTL in all areas, but it is decent enough that it can scratch that itch for a short while.
Game sucks, just keep dying over and over and there are no upgrades?????
Loving the game so far. Noticing it could be multiplayer i was worried it'd be difficult alone, but so far I'm steamrolling through it. Edit: 14 hours in. Have only lost one run. up to weight 7. You can't stop this locomotive.
This game is potentially a 10/10, however I can currently only give it a 9/10 due to it's co-op only being through steam remote play together. Please give us proper peer to peer co-op and it will be an absolute 10/10 game.
Very good game, as a train lover i enjoy it thoroughly, still somewhat buggy but nothing game breaking, very etnertaining, if you enjoy FTL, this is another good game.
Тупо бегаешь всё время чинишь поезд, ни отсреляться, ни получить удовольствия какого-то. Улучшения унылые. Интерфейс неудобный, игра как акт мазохизма
I went in kind of expecting this to be Convoy 2.0, given the clear overlap down to the UI style. In reality it's Convoy blended back with original FTL, with the soul of both souls slightly removed and the rest filled with annoying micromanagement. Just like Convoy, the fights are unnecessarily drawn out. Some things don't quite make sense such as boss scaling, the ammo mechanic, actual train HP being irrelevant, and other soft-death conditions. I'm also really not a fan of the amount of "physical" micromanage which makes it artificially stressful. Now, with all that being said, there are still very few games in that alley and it quite captures the vibe. It's also not too expensive. I'd encourage you to grab it and do one or two runs to give it a try and refund it if you don't like it.
Простенький, но довольно затягивающий рогалик с хорошей музыкой и немножко необычной задумкой. Жаль нет полноценного коопа.
Очень весело
