Hello and welcome to the highest-octane arcade experience of your life! I’m Julia Wolbach, and I’m stoked to tell you all about Railbreak DX, a gore-geous on-rails shooter releasing today on XBOX Series X|S & XPA today with support for XBOX Cloud Streaming. Read on for some secret developer tips to help up your zombie-blasting game.
In Railbreak DX‘s main Story, you’ll step into the shoes of the scrappy detective Lydia Daniels and the off-the-wall mercenary Hank. In this unnerving adventure through Cypress Ridge in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, you’ll find a variety of helpful supplies scattered about the city and a bevy of breakable objects. This is also the only mode where you can pick up special weapons in the environment to change up your gameplay. Lydia really is an expert markswoman!As the game’s camera control is automated, you’ll need to pay close attention and keep your reflexes sharp to find powerful and hidden weapons in each level. While you’ll always have your trusty handgun, you can find a variant of that armament in Act IV in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. As you’re strolling through the park, keep your eyes peeled on the benches for the magnum, a pistol that offers heavily increased damage. There are even more classified instruments of destruction to find in Story mode: rumor is you might find a plasma-infused SMG to try on for size!
Beyond the hilarious Story mode, a whole variety of playable Survivors await, each with their own load-outs, specific firing and damage rates, and other quirks. In the original Railbreak, there were nine characters to control, but in Railbreak DX, there are now a total of 18 magnificent mortals to experiment with in the quest for the best score.
If simply living is the most important thing to you, trying out Michael could be a great option. Enemies can’t inflict Poison or Bleed effects on him, so you’ll have no need to seek out Blue and Red sprouts to cure yourself of those life-sucking ailments, but in return you’ll find a that your primary weapon is a very ammo-hungry shotgun. While you’ll never need to worry about your weak pistol running out of bullets, your shotgun being so inefficient can make attempts on higher difficulties very dangerous.On the opposite end, playing as Rin will up your score game at the risk of a premature death. Her special handgun offers a decent chance to freeze your undead foes with its ice bullets, but any damage she deals is significantly neutered if she isn’t landing headshots. Here, your accuracy matters more than ever! Rin also comes equipped with a katana, and it isn’t just any ordinary sword. If you hit an adversary with one of its sword beams, a special state activates where you can rake in the points and inflict greater damage for a short period of time, but it also has a side-effect where a random, negative condition will simultaneously trigger. Playing as Rin is not for the faint of heart, especially since she can’t even dismember zombies to balance the playing field!
Searching for more intel? Here are some more helpful tips to help you conquer Railbreak DX! The city may be in a state of disarray, but that’s no excuse to empty your clip on hapless townsfolk! Hurting an innocent civilian will result in a harsh penalty; make the city-slickers bleed and you’ll incur a health deficit yourself! Don’t worry though: if you toss a screen-clearing grenade or make a special infected creature explode, you won’t be punished if any of Cypress Ridge’s denizens are caught in the crossfire.
While they’re useful in a sticky situation, grenades reward a pittance of points. Only look to use them as a last resort. One of the best ways to boost your score is to target enemy limbs and heads. Extra damage and points are granted when you fire precise headshots. On most normal zombies, unleashing on a limb can break it off entirely, which will limit their attacks and mobility. You can’t get smacked if your foe doesn’t have an arm to swing at you! Last, when you encounter monsters like the Boom Boom or the Kunoichi, prioritize defeating them for a crowd-clearing explosion. Who doesn’t love a little extra pandemonium?
There is so much to talk about when it comes to Railbreak DX, like the ability to add dinosaurs to the mix, an endless challenge to take on in Onslaught, and unpredictable ‘Glitch’ effects that throw your quest into chaos. Additionally, you can take advantage of XBOX Cloud Streaming to play Railbreak DX over the internet without even needing to download the game; or continue your adventure on PC or on handheld with XBOX Play Anywhere so your progress and achievements are always synced no matter where you play.Purchase Railbreak DX today to experience the best classic arcade action infused with modern graphics and twists. Stay tuned for future content updates and paid DLC that’ll be sure to expand on this truly ridiculous rollick. Until next time, don’t get caught with your pants down and an empty magazine! Meta: The creator drops a few tips to help maximize thrills, plus new features in the revamped Railbreak DX.
