Play Rhyolite Demo

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 first demo:

• Three Game Modes: Learn the ropes with the Beginner Mode, then test your mettle by defeating all 10 ghost trains in Standard Mode. You'll need a combination of both gameplay skills and curiosity to find the secret to unlocking Difficult Mode with mythic-level threats!

• 5 Specialty Car Types: Choose a specialty train car that matches your play style. The Armored car will shield your crew from enemy attacks, while the Refinery gives you the opportunity to earn more cash. Unlock more car types as you play.

• 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, and curse cards will make every run unique.

Rhyolite is a 1-4 player 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.

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.
