Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a purely action-focused game may not want the trading, assignments, and train improvement
Our take on Armored Train
The bounce point is the combat system: tactical pauses and combined abilities do not remove the cost of mistakes. Players seeking relaxed progression may hit a wall when encounters demand careful decisions while the train, equipment, assignments, and route all remain in play.
