What is BattleTrain?
Battle Train is set against a backdrop of the world’s most exciting game show of the same name. Here, 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. Players must outfit a powerful locomotive, craft a strategic deck, and use all their skills to out-blast opponents in a battle to become the Supreme President Conductor.
A unique take on deck building, tracks are played on the grid using cards, each with a resource cost. Connect a track to an enemy base to send a locomotive chock-full of explosives on a one-way ticket to the enemy. And to win? Well, you’ll have to destroy the rival champion’s bases first to win the round, earning new deck cards, currency for customization, train upgrades, and more.
Battle Train is available now on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
