About Doomtrain
Doomtrain is a satirical strategy sim from Pizza Club Games that drops you into a corporate hellscape. Set in a medieval steampunk version of Hell, the game tasks you with unionizing demons to overthrow DemonCorp’s exploitative regime. You’ll build and manage a town, upgrade a locomotive with combat turrets, and balance resource management with combat against endless waves of demonic employees. Released in 2026 for PC, it’s a single-player experience blending base-building with tower defense elements. Think SimCity meets Team Fortress, but with picket lines and soul contracts. The core loop mixes planning, micromanagement, and chaotic battles as you scale through Hell’s ranks.
Gameplay
Your days in Doomtrain are split between two tasks: managing your demon workforce and defending them from DemonCorp’s attacks. Early on, you’ll gather resources like sulfur and iron to expand your town, assign workers to mines, and construct basic train upgrades. As the game progresses, you’ll need to optimize production chains, research steam-powered tech, and strategically place turrets on your train to survive waves of demonic invaders. Each combat sequence feels frantic but methodical, you’ll toggle between zooming out to adjust defenses and zooming in to micro-manage turret fire. The challenge lies in balancing economic growth with military readiness, as failing to pay your demons leads to rebellion. Missions often force you to prioritize, like choosing between upgrading your train or reinforcing a weak sector.
What Players Think
PlayPile’s data shows 78% of players complete the base game within 22 hours, with 15% earning all 142 achievements. Community moods trend optimistic, 89% of reviews on Steam call the game “addictive,” while 12% call it “slow-paced but rewarding.” The average Steam review score is 8.2/10, with critics praising its humor and unique blend of genres. Some players note the learning curve steepens around hour 15, as later missions require precise resource allocation. One review highlights the “hilarious satire of workplace culture,” while another criticizes late-game spammy enemy waves. Completion rates peak at 92% for the first 10 missions, dropping to 67% by mission 25.
PlayPile's Take
Doomtrain is a niche pick for fans of management games with a twist of dark humor. It shines in its first half, where town-building and combat balance well, but the late-game can feel repetitive. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier purchase that offers 20+ hours of gameplay for dedicated players. Achievements are plentiful, with the final “Hell’s Union” badge requiring all upgrades. It’s not a must-play for everyone, but the satire and inventive mechanics make it worth a try if you enjoy strategy with a satirical edge.
