Fogpiercer isn't the only upcoming train combat game around, with Apocalypse Express getting a demo now too but they're both wildly different and worth trying. Apocalypse Express is just chaos and I want more. The demo was tested with the latest Proton 9.0-4 and it works perfectly.

With real-time combat it gets pretty intense in this one as you're running through you train between different modules to activate them, repair them and directly control them all while your train is steaming towards the next station. It's thoroughly challenging when you've got numerous cars firing at you and flying bombs coming towards you that you're trying to take down with a big turret — and then the signal alarm goes off, so you need to run through your train to swap tracks before crashing through something.

It's great. I really want a lot more of this one. A demo truly worth checking out. The Early Access release is due later this year but no firm date is set for it.

Oooh, that reminds me of a similar game that I can't remember the name of right now. Very similar, you had a central line vehicle with support/attack vehicles around it, trying to get off of an alien planet by doing jobs for factions. Needed to collect items on a hex(?)-map, meta progression, VERY similar artstyle...
