Evaluation

Apocalypse Express launched to its full 1.0 release on June 10, 2026, completing its pre-release development journey with the addition of a final biome and boss fight. The developer has remained consistently active since then. Version 1.1, released on July 22, 2026, added meaningful new content: additional biome variety with progressive environments, a new Chaos Train, and a collection of new upgrades and relics. Crucially, the 1.1 patch notes also outline what the developer intends to do next in version 1.2 — a visual rework of the map, an endless mode for hardcore players, and customizable keybinds. This confirms the developer sees the game as a living product still receiving content, not a finished release. The most recent update (version 1.1.2, posted August 6, 2026) focused on Steam Deck improvements and bug fixes, indicating continued engagement. No developer statement suggests that content development has concluded.

About this game

Apocalypse Express is an action management Roguelike in which the player conducts, upgrades and repairs different parts of the train through endless waves of enemies in a post-apocalyptic setting. Departing the darkness of their lifelong shelter, the player decides to embark on a journey through the wasteland looking to fulfill the dream of seeing the outside world with their own eyes, charting out a map around the few remaining memories of the past world.

Manage the Chaos

Be prepared for some nail-biting tension as you try to keep your train running while balancing putting out fires, collecting resources and dispatching enemies. You won't always be able to take care of every part of the Train so be ready to think fast and smart as things will not go as planned.

Modules

Modules are the foundation of your Build. Fill up your Wagons with various modules each giving you unique abilities. There are Modules for every type of Wastelander. Go full offense by building up an arsenal of cannons, rocket launchers and turrets, obliterating everything in your path. Take the more defensive approach and create an indestructible machine built around disabling enemies, deflecting shots and extinguishing fires, keeping your train healthy and running even through the harshest conditions. Or experiment with other combinations, perhaps go with a speedy train that gets you to your destination faster or even create a completely autonomous system that does all the work for you. Your slots are limited, so choose wisely. 

Upgrades

Once you've assembled your perfect combination of modules it's time to make them shine. Each module can be upgraded in dozens of interesting ways, either by making them more powerful or introducing completely new abilities.

Relics

Relics are the final piece of the puzzle, you can only have a few of them but relics often bring powerful and impactful effects that can be the backbone of some amazing builds! Mix and match them to find the best combination to create the perfect Train.
