Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiJun 20258.6/10I had a superb time with Battle Train and can't believe how much it fits my tastes from its roguelike structure to its deep strategic gameplay and its silly premise to its wealth of unlockables. I may just have a new favourite roguelike as it chugged along straight to my heart. 🚂

Nindie SpotlightJustin NationJun 20258.2/10A bit weird, smart, and generally quite challenging, this strategic railroad battle game is a pleasant surprise

TheGamerEric SwitzerJun 20252.5/5 starsThe first couple of runs of Battle Train feel magical, until you realize that’s pretty much it, and the rest of the game is just a lousy version of Archer and a lot of trips down the same old tracks.
