About This Demo

Hop on board the Rhyolite Demo, full of ghostly action that will keep you and your friends on your toes. Here's what you'll find in our Next Fest demo:

• 6 Standard Fights Plus 3 Boss Fights: This demo will test your teamwork under pressure with a series of nine enemy ghost trains, each more difficult from the last. Boss trains add an extra layer of complexity with slicing saw blades, exploding skulls, and vengeful headless ghosts.

• 2 Specialty Car Types: Beginners will appreciate the healing properties of the Cleansing Car, while more advanced players will find a rewarding challenge in managing the Greenhouse Car. More cars available in the full release!

• 5 Character Classes: Conductor, Engineer, Chemist, Brakeman, and Benefactor. Level up each class to unlock new abilities.

• Roguelite Fun: A variety of enemy attacks, train upgrades, special equipment, and curse cards will make every run unique.

Rhyolite is a co-op action roguelite set on a steampunk locomotive being attacked by ghost trains. Defend, repair, and upgrade your train as you explore the railway with up to 4 players.

We've blended ship vs. ship combat, challenging call-out chaos, and crew-based team dynamics together and poured it all into a cowboy boot-shaped mug!

ASSEMBLE YOUR CREW

It takes a lot to keep a steam engine running. Choose your role — Conductor, Brakeman, Engineer, Chemist, or Benefactor — and use your special skills to help your team stay on track.

SURVIVE CHAOTIC COMBAT

Think on your feet and adapt your strategy as the ghost train interferes by locking doors, swapping players, and generally creating mischief. Other ghost attacks can be deadly, so learn the enemy's moves and react quickly to keep you and your crew safe.

KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING

Your engine has seen better days, and these attacks from ghost mortars aren't helping. Repair broken systems, divert steam pressure, and prevent reactor meltdowns to keep your train chugging along — and do it fast, because these malfunctions escalate quickly. (We recommend welding that hole in the roof before the whole thing collapses.)

ADD BELLS AND WHISTLES

Choose upgrades along your route, unlock new specialty train cars, and reconfigure your train back at the rail yard in between runs.
