Void Trackers
Rail Nomads is a top-down, co-op extraction shooter. Your base is a mobile, armored train. Battle mutants, rebels, and rival players in unique raids through a post-apocalyptic world. Risk it all for the reward!
In Rail Nomads, you are an elite survivor in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the key to survival is your unique base of operations: a fully customizable, armored train. This game merges the intense co-op of Helldivers with the high-stakes, gear-loss tension of Escape from Tarkov, all from a unique top-down tactical perspective.
The Addictive Risk & Reward Loop
The core gameplay is an addictive cycle of risk and reward. Accept dynamic contracts from a mission board that lead you on dangerous expeditions across vast sectors of an interconnected world. Each sector is a persistent map where the content (enemies, loot, objectives) is pseudo-procedural, ensuring no two raids are ever the same and keeping exploration fresh and surprising.
The Triple Threat: Unpredictable PvEvP
Survival depends on your tactical skill, resource management, and—crucially—squad cooperation. Face a constant triple threat: hordes of aggressive mutants (PvE), hostile factions of human raiders (PvE), and the most unpredictable menace of all: opportunistic rival players competing for the same resources (PvP). The fear of losing your uninsured gear is what drives every high-stakes decision you make.
Your Train: The Heart of Your Operations
Your train is more than a base; it's your moving home and a visible trophy of your progress. Explore its various cars, each with a vital function for your survival and expansion:
Locomotive: Chart your course and accept missions on the world map.
Armory Car: Modify and customize your weapons with an immersive 3D interface.
Workshop Car: Craft consumables (medkits, grenades), repair damaged gear, and build new weapons and armor from rare blueprints.
Medical Car: Heal persistent injuries from your raids and create stimulants for temporary buffs or permanent bio-enhancements.
Trade Car: Interact with allied faction NPCs who offer quests and gear, or engage with an asynchronous player-driven market.
Tangible Progression and Real Consequences
Success on your raids translates into tangible, visible progression. Loot isn't just a set of stats; it's weapons you can display on your armory wall, armor you can see being repaired in the workshop, and new cars physically added to your train, extending its length and expanding your capabilities. Complete missions to earn Currency ("Certified Scrap"), raise your Faction Reputation to unlock exclusive gear and field support, and discover Crafting Blueprints to expand your arsenal.
Tactical Combat and Relentless Threats
The hybrid arcade-simulation combat system demands precision, with significant recoil and lethal headshots. A dynamic cover system lets you peek and lean, using the environment to your advantage. The scarcity of resources like ammo and medicine will force you to make tough calls. The audio design immerses you in the tension—distant footsteps, hidden mutant growls, and the whiz of bullets heighten your environmental awareness and the fear of loss.
