Railbreak: A Modern Arcade Shooter That Brings On-Rails Chaos

As a huge fan of arcade games like Time Crisis, Operation Wolf, and Alien: Gun, the anticipation for new arcade shooters is always high. Railbreak, released on December 22nd for Xbox Series X|S amongst others, promises an adrenaline-fueled on-rails shooting experience that elevates the classic genre with Unreal Engine 5 technology.

Reviving the On-Rails Shooter Genre

Railbreak injects fresh life into the on-rails arcade shooter concept, offering players a captivating experience rich in eye-bleeding visuals and intense action. Set to power through hordes of reanimated monsters, players will wield a variety of weapons imbued with elemental powers to combat sinister bosses and navigate tumultuous ‘Glitch’ events across numerous game modes and stages.

Dynamic Weaponry and Vicious Foes

The game boasts an arsenal of sizzlingly flashy weapons, offering a diverse array of firepower. Freeze aggressive foes with ice blasts, zap them with electricity, set them ablaze with incendiary rounds, or opt for unconventional tactics to survive the relentless onslaught of undead adversaries.

Boss battles are no walk in the park either. Face off against formidable adversaries like the Kunoichi or Hacknslash, each with their own diabolical tactics. These bosses not only present a challenge in their standard form but also take the intensity up a notch in ‘Glitched’ forms, enhancing their power, speed, and health.

Unpredictable Challenges with Glitches

The virtual world of Cypress Ridge becomes even more unpredictable with ‘Glitches’, introducing modifiers that can either aid or impede players’ progress. From random health restoration to grenade roulette, these Glitches add an element of uncertainty, continuously testing the Survivors’ adaptability.

Diverse Modes and Co-op Play

Railbreak offers an extensive variety of game modes, including the Score Attack, endless Onslaught, fully-voiced Story mode, Glitch Gauntlet, Boss Rush, and Shoutout Shootout. With options catering to different playstyles, the game promises a fresh and unique experience each time. Additionally, the game supports two-player co-op and features unlockable characters, difficulty settings, and optional support for Sinden Lightguns for PC players seeking an authentic arcade experience.
