WTF—I thought this was going to be some mindless horde shooter with a cutesy anthro-animal gimmick. Instead, we get a surprisingly polished, genuinely fun, narratively intriguing action-horror shooter that can't help but remind me—and presumably other old people—of The Thing (2002 game adaptation/sequel to John Carpenter's film) with its chilling atmosphere ;) I'm only about an hour in, but I'm already blown away by the sheer level of craftsmanship that went into this thing. Great voice acting, solid writing, clean visuals, simple-but-effective character designs, and engaging gameplay built around some surprisingly in-depth survival mechanics. Perhaps most importantly, the protagonist sometimes sounds like Christian Slater, which is strangely awesome. My only real complaint so far is that I wish the firearms had a bit more *oomph*. The SFX and overall feel of the weapons could be considerably more satisfying. That's a tiny gripe, though, buried beneath a frankly ridiculous amount of praise. I went in expecting a goofy horde shooter. What I got was a surprisingly accomplished horror game with personality, atmosphere, and an intriguing world that has already sucked me in. This one is definitely worth your time and money, Ladies and Gentleman!

Call of duty Zombies + RE4 and some Dead Space in there, Fright Train has an addictive roguelike loop, you go collect items, sell them to get credits, kill enemies, buy new weapons, supply and doors to new rooms, fix the cars, manage your inventory, rinse and repeat until the last wave of enemies shows up. The art style of the game and atmosphere are what captivated me first, but the gameplay itself is not so bad either, you have to keep track of your ammo, reloading one bullet at a time, checking your inventory to put vital things like ammo, weapons and health on spots that are quicker to pull out, you also run on a timer that stops each wave, but never really goes away, so you have to do all of these things quick, it may sound frustrating but its way smoother when playing, very challenging but not unfairly so, the boons that you unlock by finding codes in each section are also really cool, because they usually have you playing with mechanics you dont really think of much when playing, like for example the boon that makes you quicker and stronger when you are hot, you dont tend to use heatpads often since you can always reach a car before getting freeze damage but this makes them pretty valuable to get to places quicker and get objectives done, the story bits are also really fun to watch, i love the character designs, theyre cute and remind me a lot of animal crossing, doug barker is my husband, i dont want to spoil a lot about the plot of the game but it plays out like an experiment gone wrong, you go as part of a special team to check whats going on and fight a mad scientist, except the mad scientist also has a parasocial relationship with the train's AI assistant who only helps him be more evil, its also really funny how reef talks exactly like an AI, down to the same mannerisms and even the M dashes, ive been so tired of reading AI text on websites when im trying to do research for my studies that it just made me laugh lmaooo I enjoyed my time with this game, HOWEVER here are some things to keep in mind!!!! Besides the bosses at the end of most chapters, you are playing the exact same maps each chapter, each chapter has 3 sections and they have different layouts each but they only really mix between them, it's very repetitive and exhaustingly so in long game sessions, the difference between each chapter is the variety of enemies and the 4th last section which is a boss fight, so even if you play the first chapter or the last one, besides newer enemies its gonna play out very similarly each time (although the new enemies keep getting more threatening), of course this game being marketed as a roguelike doesnt do it much service, as i dont think its got enough play hours to be a roguelike, i would have preferred the game taking place in different scenarios, or in newer car layouts each chapter, but thats just my take on it, if you enjoy the gameplay loop like i did its gonna last longer, but i can see people just beating the game and leaving it The game is also slightly buggy, most of the egregious bugs are gone now compared to release day, and as of the time im writing this i havent had a single hitch replaying levels, but there might be new ones, always report them as they show up because the devs are actually pretty quick to patch things, it only took them 2 days to fix an issue i reported that kept softlocking me !! That said, i really enjoyed my time playing this game, i have been waiting for it to launch and to have a fair share of time with it to leave a review, its a really fun game to play and i think it serves its inspirations well, my only hope from here is that it gets some sort of expansion or dlc, because id like to play as doug barker in what other kinds of missions he usually goes to, or even play as another character like widget, overall, really fun game, would recommend if the demo piques your interests

Don't let the reviews fool you, most reviews say that this is a Resident Evil Roguelike, it's not. It's actually COD Zombies with Resident Evil gameplay. Source: The raygun is in the game, and the pack-a-punch machine gave me Mustang and Sally after I pack-a-punched the Revolver. 8.5/10

If you remember this roguelike game called Vaccine , that was very Resident Evil-like roguelike, I hoped back in the day that it would have been like Fright Train. For me the survival in survival horror is the management of inventory, the character controller and the phasing and the rhytm of the game. Fright Train captures all of them, almost perfectly. I played the demo quite much and now I'm enjoying the main game. If I could just change one thing, that would be less kicking, currently I just spend most of my traversal time kicking everything. TL;DR, great game, catches the survival horror vibe perfectly in this very cool aestethic package wrapped in roguelike bundle.
