Watch the attacks
The “Attacks” panel shows where the gang comes from, which station it heads for and how many seconds are left. Plan your route ahead.
How to play
About the game
Rails & Guns is a defense game where your whole defense rides on rails. Let’s see how it all works.
Three steps
Simple rules, clever decisions
Drive the train
Tap a station and the train goes there by itself, throwing the switches on its own. Need precision? Take the speed lever.
Shoot and repair
The cars fire on their own at everyone in range. Between waves, repair the rails and buy new cars.
Mechanics
Everything rides on the rails
- Stations and vaults. Each station has its own durability and its own treasury. Vans rob, motorcycles ram.
- Switches and branches. Take a shortcut across the link, but remember: a branch is a dead end for turning around.
- Broken rails. Mines, glider bombs and crab claws tear up the track. The train can’t pass until you repair it.
- Ramming. You can knock down a motorcycle with the locomotive. An armored car — no: the train will stop dead.
- Loot. Hit a van and its cargo falls to the ground. Pick it up with the train and bring it back to the station.
- Shells. Cannons and missiles use ammo. Restock by stopping at any station.
- Weight and climbs. Every car has weight, the locomotive pulls. A heavy train crawls uphill belching black smoke and speeds up downhill.
- Bad weather. Sandstorms and blizzards shorten firing range, the train slows down in blizzards and thunderstorms, and lightning strikes the raiders.
Mission 5 “Two Rings”: a station battle at sunsetModes
Three ways to play
Campaign
Ten missions of rising difficulty and two bosses. Three difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard. Up to three stars for each mission.
Heroic
A completed mission in a tough version: more enemies, less money, no mercy. For those who collected all the stars.
Endless
Wave after wave as long as the train holds. How long will you last? A record is kept for every map.
Progress
Upgrades: five skill branches
Skill points come from mission challenges: “No losses”, “Treasury intact”, “Not a scratch”. Spend them any time between missions — and reset them if you want to try another style.
Armor
Durability of cars and stations, workshops for fast repairs.
Firepower
Machine-gun damage, a rangefinder and heavy shells.
Artillery strike
A battery salvo at a point on the map, more shells, faster reload.
Air support
A bomber flight, carpet bombing, an airfield nearby.
Supply
Starting treasury, an ammo depot and locomotive boost.
Garage
Four locomotives and paint jobs
The “Defender” is reliable in everything. The “Runner” is a quarter faster, the “Ironclad” takes a hit, the “Hauler” pulls six cars instead of four and climbs easily.
New locomotives and paint jobs unlock with campaign stars: winter camo, red parade, night — and gold for the most persistent.
Medals
16 medals for heroic deeds
“Anti-Aircraft Gunner”, “Ram!”, “Terror of the Deep”, “End of the Gang” — every medal pops up right in battle, like in big games.
