Battle Train brings explosive deckbuilding action to PC and Switch

Published on

Battle Train, a chaotic mix of deckbuilding roguelite and train-blasting action, has officially launched on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Developed by Terrible Posture Games and Nerd Ninjas, and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment America, this indie firecracker puts players on the rails of destruction in a competition for train supremacy.

Welcome to the Most Explosive Game Show in the World

In Battle Train, players are thrown into the high-stakes chaos of a televised game show, where only the best survive. As contestants, players must build strategic decks, lay track across a gridded battlefield, and send explosive trains into their opponent’s bases.

The game combines tactical deckbuilding with real-time decision-making as players race to link their tracks to enemy strongholds. Once connected, it’s all aboard the destruction express — loaded with payloads designed to blow rival champions out of the game.

Each victory adds new cards to your arsenal, unlocks train upgrades, and builds your path toward becoming the one and only Supreme President Conductor.
