Dead Rails is a 3D Western survival shooter set during a deadly global zombie outbreak. A spreading virus has transformed ordinary people into aggressive undead creatures. Your journey takes place across a dangerous desert railway, where abandoned stations conceal supplies and hungry hordes. A steam locomotive becomes your only moving sanctuary and essential transportation. Can you survive through all zombie-filled stations?
HOW TO CONQUER ALL LEVELS OF DEAD RAILS
Dead Rails pushes you into a repeating cycle of train travel, station combat, and resource collection. Zombies attack as soon as you leave the locomotive, making every scavenging trip dangerous.
Fight Through Every Station
Your shovel provides basic melee defense against nearby undead. Early encounters introduce the dangers waiting around abandoned railway stops. Larger hordes appear at later stations, making every expedition increasingly difficult. Clear nearby threats before searching buildings for essential supplies.
Keep the Locomotive Fueled
Coal powers your journey, so every station demands another supply run. Search the surroundings, collect enough fuel, and replenish the locomotive before advancing. Without sufficient coal, your journey cannot continue. Each successful departure brings another station and a tougher survival challenge.
Trade Gold for Better Equipment
Station shops in Dead Rails offer shotguns, ammunition boxes, and essential supplies. Collect scattered gold coins to purchase stronger equipment for future encounters. Banks also provide facilities for currency and gold transactions. Better preparation becomes increasingly valuable as zombie numbers grow.
