Le Ferrailleur
The versatile start: an automatic cannon, 100 hull points and 120 food to set off with more supplies.
THE TRAIN MOVES.
YOU DECIDE.
Rumblekeep is a single-player survival game: keep the train and its passengers alive for as long as possible. Movement and firing are automatic; priorities, defences and upgrades are yours to choose.
Choose your convoy
You start with a locomotive and two wagons. Each starting convoy changes your weapons and supplies.
Le Perceur
A laser that pierces enemies lined up in its path, paired with a cargo wagon. It gains range but starts with 85 hull points and 100 food.
Le Brasier
A flamethrower and an armoured cargo wagon. Incoming damage is reduced by 10%, with 100 hull points and 90 food at departure.
Le Veilleur
Frost slows threats while an escort cannon fires at 25% power. The convoy starts with 90 hull points and 90 food.
The journey begins in the Industrial Wastelands. After the first boss and factory stop, the train enters the Dead Cities.
Fight at the right moment
Let weapons fire, choose the priority
The train follows the rails and weapons automatically seek enemies within range. Tap an enemy to mark it as a priority target: weapons that can reach it will focus their attacks on it.
Activate the shield
The shield blocks hits for three seconds. It then needs to recharge, taking 20 seconds with the base equipment. Save it for a rush, a dangerous projectile or a telegraphed boss attack.
Trigger the overcharge
If you equip the overcharge cannon, wait for it to charge and use the DÉCHARGE button. This weapon is fired manually and overheats after firing.
Recognising enemies helps you decide where to focus your fire.
Build up your firepower
Defeated enemies grant experience. At each level, choose one upgrade from three options.
Strengthen your attacks
Increase damage, firing rate or range. Piercing allows shots to pass through more targets. Missiles add an area weapon; salvos increase the number of missiles fired.
Repair when you need to
When the hull is damaged, a repair may appear among your choices. It restores up to 30 hull points. Taking this repair means giving up another upgrade for that level.
These upgrades build your power for the current journey. A new run begins again with your chosen starting convoy.
Protect more than the hull
An intact train is not enough: its passengers need food.
Hull and passengers
The locomotive and wagons share a hull reserve. Damage also affects passenger health. The journey ends if the hull or passenger health reaches zero.
Food
Supplies decrease during the journey. If food runs out, passenger health deteriorates; when fed, passengers slowly recover. A longer convoy consumes more: plan ahead for your next resupply.
Prepare for the next stage
A boss appears every five waves. After defeating it, spend your earned components at the factory to adapt your convoy.
Repair and resupply
At each stop, you can buy one hull repair and one resupply. The repair restores up to 35 hull points and the resupply adds up to 70 food, without exceeding capacity.
Equip your wagons
Select a slot to install a module, change weapons or upgrade its level. Your options depend on the wagon, available components and stops already reached. New equipment replaces the module in that slot.
Expand the train
Add a supply wagon, an armoured wagon or armed wagons. The convoy can reach six wagons plus the locomotive. Additions unlock gradually as you reach more stops.
Rearrange the convoy
Move wagons and swap equipment between armed slots at the factory. Position matters: attacks also come from the flanks and the rear.
