The power of Unreal Engine 5 amplifies traditional arcade fun when Railbreak locks and loads its way onto PlayStation 4 today! Railbreak is also available as a native PlayStation 5 release with all the next-gen bells and whistles!
Blast through leagues of zombies solo or in optional co-op with a friend as Railbreak delivers brutal on-rails arcade shooting action! Wield weapons bestowed with elemental power, take down sinister bosses, contend with wacky ‘Glitch’ effects, and more across a multitude of game modes and stages!
To survive the slaughter, Railbreak’s nine heroes need to use their fantastical armaments to their fullest. Stall aggressive baddies with ice blasts that’ll freeze their already cold, dead hearts. Zombies will be in for a shock when you pump them with enough electricity to make them pop! Set rotting flesh ablaze and smolder a whole crowd with fire rounds, or even decorate the streets with some chunk-e-cheese after shooting incendiary bursts! Special character Korrine ups the ante with a beam-slinging katana and other unique tools of destruction!
Wield the power of the elements to amass the greatest score!
When Railbreak’s formidable bosses come out of the woodwork, players will need to break out the heavy artillery. Whether the devious Kunoichi brings her katana out to play or the raucous Hacknslash decides to get up close and personal with his dual chainsaws, peril is on the menu. The gargantuan Slab obscures players’ vision in more ways than one, and the eruptive Boom Boom can spell doom-doom for the unprepared. The bar is raised even higher when bosses show up and show off in souped-up ‘Glitched’ forms, granting them tons more power, speed, and health!
Encountering these ghouls unprepared means certain death!
The virtual world of Cypress Ridge becomes even more unstable with modifiers known as ‘Glitches’ that trigger throughout the game. Some Glitches can be a major help, like randomly restoring health, while others may be a major hindrance (can you say grenade roulette?). Enemies may suddenly have far more health, weapon ammo may erratically switch between elements, and player accuracy may be tested when only headshots deal significant damage.
The unpredictable ‘Glitch’ events keep Survivors on guard!
Six distinct game modes and two game types maximize Railbreak’s variety! Enjoy Score Attack, endless Onslaught, fully-voiced Story, tough-as-nails Boss Rush, rogue-like Glitch Gauntlet, and fast-paced Shoutout Shootout modes! If you switch the game type to Time Korrisis, you can experience every mode with a new twist; annihilate foes to refuel the ever-present ticking countdown clock or suffer a premature game over.
Enjoy score tracking and optional two-player co-op support for every last drop of Railbreak’s content! Purge the undead regardless of your skill level with five difficulty options. Freshen up every round with a total of NINE unlockable characters, each with a unique loadout. Customize your graphics and gameplay options to your heart’s content with a slew of useful settings, and learn all about the game’s mechanics with an exhaustive built-in ‘How to Play’ menu!
