A (s)train of horrors.

<span class="bold">The Final Station</span>, a side-scrolling survival game about managing a train riding through the zombie apocalypse, is available now for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Here are the things one needs in order to survive the infected hordes: serious firepower, dependable allies, and a sturdy vehicle for the big escape. As luck would have it, you find yourself at the helm of a thundering locomotive. Unfortunately, though, the other two commodities will prove much harder to come by.

See, people can be valuable assets, but also huge liabilities. Like that fellow you just found after shooting your way through an abandoned warehouse. Burning with fever and desperation, he claims to be a talented mechanic and begs you to take him with you. Should you let him on board and risk spooking the others or leave him and your humanity behind? You need to make the call and fast, before the shrieking hordes come too close for comfort...

Lead a train full of desperate souls through the infected hordes and into <span class="bold">The Final Station</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
If you want to make the ride a tad more luxurious, book a seat at the <span class="bold">Collector's Edition</span> wagon or ask the conductor for an <span class="bold">upgrade</span> later on.

Marioface5: The Final Station is a low-fi pixelated low-effort piece of crap confirmed.

(joking)
Feel free to like or disparage a game for whatever reason (referring to anyone, not just you :) ) but do make sure you have the genre right :)

There is no jumping or any platforming in this game.

IAmSinistar: What kind of train line doesn't have platforms? ;)
A post-apocalyptic one :P

This looks interesting. Wishlisted for now.

That's just shoddy workmanship. ;)

Are the walking ground sections similar to Deadbolt et al? It looks similar, and I've enjoyed those kinds of games.

Looks beautiful but I'll wait for some more info regarding the replayability or at least how long those "5 chapters" are going to last.

Oh, and is the world procedural in this one?

No actually. The reviews I've seen state it's a big weakness as there is no challenge since you can memorize levels and dying only sets you back to the last checkpoint. With all the procedurally generated games lately I don't really consider that a weakness :)

As long as the world design is good then it's fine if it's not procedural. Replay value is a dicey thing with me these days anyway, since I barely have time to finish a game once. :)

So, nobody tried his luck and bought this game yet ?

I got skyhill aswell, this looks a bit the same, this one has more motions then the Skyhill game, but then again i also got Underrail ( because hoped for fallout clone but fallout classic are still superior to any fallout classic clone) back then and the ambient fullscreen green lighting isnt that okay for my eyes so i left it on the shelves to collect dust.

At 13.59 i might give this game a chance since i only get 1 to 5 games out of every 50 new released games, which give me the chance to try this one, and if it fails it gets hidden on my shelves aswell .. :D

I do need to find out if its all procedural generated cause that seems to be a big no apparently.

edit: just watched some videos on youtube............... it is scrolling sideways, i guess i will wait a bit longer, cause i am looking for new games that i can actually play, so i wait a while, and Avadon 3 is also coming in september:
Available: 14 September (This game will unlock in approximately 2 weeks) on steam and i assume we get the game on the same day.

They're not as hectic, I can tell you that :)

You have sections where you have some exposition, talking to NPCs, and a bit of exploration. Other sections involve you fighting the zombie-looking things (I say "zombie-looking" because they don't really look like your average zombie, they're more like an ambulatory slice of darkness with anthropomorphic features and yes, they move at different speeds.)

The main thing in each section is to explore so you can find additional passengers as not all available passengers are in plain sight and you are looking for the 4 digit code to move on to the next station.

Also, it would behoove anyone playing to take advantage of throwing items as, from what I've seen so far, you can throw things at the monsters and if the thrown item connects, it's an instakill :) Saves you some ammo that way :)

Lastly, you can punch the slower moving monsters to death if you wish to conserve ammo or if you run out but that's more or less a last resort measure.

Don't take him with you! He'll turn into a balverine!

JudasIscariot: snip
Great info, thanks Judas! It does sound even more interesting to me now, actually. While I am enjoying Deadbolt, it can also be frustrating as heck. The mixture of exploration and potential combat strategies sounds very nice indeed.

I also helps that I'm a sucker for train games. :)

1 Fairly priced
2 Apparently no bullshit with DLC or whatever

*clap clap clap*

Decent release.
