Combining the Western elements of Red Dead Redemption with the futuristic setting of Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077, this upcoming roguelike FPS title is capturing gamers’ attention, and for good reason.

The era of cowboys may be over, whilst the time of a cyberpunk setting may be in the not-so-distant future, and yet Cyber Rail manages to combine them both, tasking players with hunting down enemy bandits on none other than a flying train. If you are ready for a whole lot of chaos, color, and spectacle, you will want to add this upcoming release to your Steam wishlist right now.

Western Meets Dystopian

It may not yet have a release date, or even a release window, but Cyber Rail is already making itself known as Steam thanks to its nods to the Red Dead franchise, Cyberpunk 2077, and even some Borderlands thrown in there for good measure.

Developed by Torn Are Studios, Cyber Rail will see players take on the role of robotic cowboys who must grapple, slide, and swing, whilst going head with bandits on a flying locomotive.

With speed being the difference in survival or death, the game’s fine-tuned movement system allows players to enable precise and agile maneuvers. With enemies targeting you from every direction and it being a long way to the ground, you will have to master this system in order to slide, grapple, and most importantly, avoid a perma-death.

Luckily, you will be fit with powerful weapons, with each offering unique abilities depending on your preferred playstyle. Whether you want to crack skulls with a revolver or mow down hordes of enemies with the SMG is entirely up to you, but be assured that there is always a new way to take down those pesky bandits.

Chaos In The Skies

In this roguelike, each new run is a chance to improve on the last, and luckily, you will be able to upgrade and adapt by purchasing brand-new weapons and upgrades in the saloon. Using your hard-earned cash, you will be able to cater your loadout to your playstyle, and even use each run as an excuse to experiment with a brand-new arsenal.

As mentioned, Cyber Rail does not yet have an official release window, but you will be pleased to learn that Steam currently has a free demo available to try out right now. So, if this Western roguelike sounds like your cup of tea, but you do not want it to sit collecting dust on your wishlist, you can dive into the action right now and see how you feel.

Featuring the Western elements of Red Dead with the robotic future we all fear, Cyber Rail is a roguelike unlike any other, and one that you will not want to miss out on.
