Run the line
Aim with one thumb and shoot whatever the Rust throws at the train: crawlers on the tracks, drones overhead, brutes charging the cars.
The last train out
The machines have taken the cities. No. 9, a coal-fired engine from a museum, is the last way out. Man the gun, stop for every survivor, and bring them home.
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV & Android Controller support Free to start No ads One price for the rest
One old engine.
A world of machines.
Everyone you can save.
Keep the throttle open
Every line runs from one haven to the next, with survivors to pick up, broken track to fix and the Rust coming at the train the whole way. Open the throttle, watch your coal, and keep the gun firing.
Out on the line
Cover the rescue
At every settlement the train stops and survivors sprint for it. Hold the swarm off until they're aboard. Leave early and someone gets left behind.
Expect trouble
Torn-up track, wreckage across the rails, ambushes in the dark. When the line's out, the crew mends it while you keep the swarm off them.
Finish the line.
Then run it again.
NEW GAME+
Start again with everything
Your guns, cars, crew, research, scrap and medals all come with you. Every line gets a new layout, and the Rust comes back a class tougher, then tougher again.
Hard, then Nightmare
Master a line and run it again on Hard, then Nightmare. Same track, a far tougher swarm, and more to find.
Swarm runs
No stops and no pay. Just a horde on your tail all the way to the jammers, and a reward you can't win anywhere else.
The Long Haul
One long line that gets harder at every stop. Bank survivors at the waystations and see how many you can get home.
Pick your route
At a junction, take the detour for more survivors or the direct line to beat the clock. Not every run can have both.
Paint shop
Repaint No. 9 and every car behind it, including coats you can only win in New Game+.
