## What is All Aboard! Defense Express?

Enemy orcs are coming from every angle to try to destroy the Infinite Power Generator! Luckily for you, each orc is carrying a big gem that can be sold for gold. As the conductor, your job is to spend gold on buying new train carriages to help defend the generator - flamethrowers, snipers, cannons, railguns, and dozens more can be purchased and added to the train to help with defense.

Buy 3 of the same type of carriage to upgrade it to the next level. For example, buying 3 level 1 Snipers will merge into a level 2 Sniper, and 3 level 2 snipers will merge into a level 3 Sniper. You can upgrade like this infinitely!

Be careful - bosses will spawn every 5 minutes to try to take the generator out! At 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and every 15 minutes after, bosses will drop a Relic Chest, which can be opened for power-ups that last for the rest of the game.

Enemy orcs might also drop tickets. Use tickets in the "Boons" menu to unlock additional permanent upgrades!

How long can you last against the orc hordes?

### 5/5 — Fun game, would recommend. No cloud save.

*2026-06-10*

I love the game. It would be great if there was cloud save using icloud or otherwise so that I can play on my iphone or ipad and continue playing, and to not lose the save file if I redownload the game

### 4/5 — EXCELLENT TOWER DEFENSE GAME

*2026-05-04*

the graphics, music, and upgrades are so good and they make the $4.99 price tag worth it

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2026-03-08*

Top

### 2/5 — 奥深さ0

*2025-12-07*

同じ作業の繰り返し。ステージもなく、新しいこともほぼないため、やること一緒。レリックだけが変化だが、5分に一回のボスが確定ドロップ出ないため虚無。時間経つほどダメージ出すのは容易なため、序盤以外放置。５時間ほどで飽きた

### 1/5 — インフレ過ぎ

*2025-12-07*

あまりに酷いと感じたため
初めてこういったレビューを書きます。
最初の30分ぐらいは面白い！
と感じたのですが
3ゲーム目で急にインフレが起き
一瞬で敵を薙ぎ払えるまで急成長し
あまりにやることがなく
放置して2時間45分経ちましたが
終わる気配がありません。
ゲームシステムをなんとなくしか理解していないのにあまりにも強くなりすぎて全く面白くありません。
オススメできません。

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2025-12-06*

800円で購入。
少し高いかなって思ったけど、値段以上の価値ありでした。

### 5/5 — 업데이트는 없는거죠?

*2025-10-30*

어느정도 진행하면 밸런스 붕괴가 있습니다. 업데이트로 커버해주거나 다른 컨텐츠가 있지 않다면 좀 아쉽겠네요.

### 4/5 — 게임은 괜찮은거 같은데 난이도가 이상해요

*2025-08-22*

무슨 한판이 9시간 째 안끝나요
서바이벌 게임류는 적들의 체력이 지수증가해서 어느정도 한계가 있어야 하는데 이건 뭐 죽질 않아서 한판을 언제까지 해야하는지 ,, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
난이도적인 부분만 바뀌면 게임은 재밌어요

### 5/5 — Viel Spiel

*2025-08-20*

Top Game! Viel frei zu spielen und Zero Werbung 🫶

### 3/5 — 게임을 잘 만들다 말았음

*2025-08-19*

여러 Relic과 Carriage가 있는데 어느정도 갖추는 시점부터 절대로 죽지 않음. Relic조합에 따라 Gem도 알아서 벌고 Carriage레벨업도 알아서 하는게 가능해서 켜놓고 자면 Gem은 한계점까지 쌓여있고 Carriage는 최고레벨까지 찍혀있음. 긴장감 0
