Death Train Game Guides

Comprehensive guides to help you master Death Train. From beginner tips to advanced strategies, we've got you covered.

Quick Start Guide

1. Starting Out

When you spawn, you begin with 20 starting dollars, a shovel, and a gold bar. Sell your starting gold bar to afford your first set of starter units.

2. Deploy Units

Place your gunners and towers on the train cars to automatically fire at passing waves. Place units on the front cars for maximum range.

3. Upgrade Your Gem

Upgrading the Gem is crucial. It increases its health and unlocks the ability to purchase and place more advanced units.

4. Master the Halt

You can halt the train to explore towns and loot, but be careful! Halting for too long spawns Personal Chasers that target you specifically.
