gameplay4 positive mentions

Unique and engaging cooperative roguelike gameplay with a fresh theme combining trains, ghosts, and resource management.
Strong replayability driven by varied characters, upgrades, curses, and randomized events, keeping runs interesting and challenging.
Excellent multiplayer experience that encourages teamwork, communication, and strategic role assignment, with smooth scaling from solo to four players.

Some clunky controls and interface issues, particularly when managing multiple items or switching tools in tight spaces.
Early rounds can feel too easy and slow to ramp up, potentially causing dull moments before the game hits full intensity.
Lack of in-game voice chat requires external communication tools for cooperative play.
