About game
In the game Dead Rails: Guardian of the Frontier, you get to experience a new angle on the Dead Rails world — from the perspective of the outpost.
You are the defender of humanity's final bastion: you gather supplies, create weapons and ammunition, and adapt whatever you come across.
Every arriving train is a chance for survival and a challenge. If you fail to satisfy their needs, your outpost's standing will plummet, causing trains to bypass you.
Secure the gates, activate the turrets, and stand firm against hordes of zombies and merciless bandits.
The world is in dire need of a cure, but if the essential train doesn't reach its destination, humanity's fate will be sealed.
How to play
Your goal is to survive, defend the base, and ensure trains are full of resources. You must withstand until the last train arrives — it carries the cure. Once it gets there, you need to jump on board and reach the end of the Dead Rails, where the scientists' laboratory is located.
Gather resources or produce them at your base. Go to the caves to mine coal and gunpowder using a pickaxe to crush the large pieces. For trees, an axe will come in handy. If a train arrives and you're short on supplies, visit the shop.
Some trains bring bandit prisoners or infected zombies. You'll have to pay to get them off the train, then take them to the shop to sell for a profit. However, beware: bandits can steal your resources, and zombies can prevent survivors from leaving the train.
