Dead Drop Studios :

Enjoy the full Railbreak experience with no compromises. The Nintendo Switch version of the game features every last morsel of content ever created: all levels, characters, weapons, and modes are here and available in both single player and optional two-player co-op.  Whether you love to play on the big screen TV in docked mode or you want to spend your office break chasing a new high score, it’s always the right time to deliver sweet, sweet justice to the undead menace threatening Cypress Ridge.
 

While Lydia and Hank, heroes of the upcoming survival horror adventure Outbreak: Shades of Horror, need a break from annihilating the undead, they decide to check out the hottest new game in the Cypress Ridge Arcade for some much needed stress-relief, and hijinks ensue. In Railbreak’s fully-voiced and hilarious Story mode, battle through six acts packed with disgusting, larger than life monsters in an alternate version of Cypress Ridge where the only way out is to shoot, shoot, and shoot some more. Sometimes the fiction is stranger than the truth as you find and use weapons that you would only ever find in an arcade game to hilarious results, fight freaky special infected creatures, and survive insane game-modifying ‘Glitches.’

 

Unlock additional characters with unique weapons and perks, and take them for a spin in five additional modes. Take on any act from the main Story with another character in Score Attack mode. Survive for as long as you can in the endless Onslaught mode. Endure a randomized version of the main campaign where the modifiers are constant and anything can happen in Glitch Gauntlet. Lay waste to each of the game’s challenging super monsters in Boss Rush. Scratch the itch for a quick round with a unique scenario in Shoutout Shootout.  Every mode in Railbreak can be played with traditional rules or with the Time Korrisis game-type where the clock is ticking and slaughtering enemies is the only way to extend your playthrough.

 

The Nintendo Switch version of Railbreak features full touch support for those who prefer to tap-and-shoot. This control scheme even supports a unique and optional dual-wielding configuration in single player.  Dismember zombies and quickly collect hidden items with precise taps for a slightly more relaxed experience. Playing the game’s higher difficulties with touch controls is sure to be an adrenaline rush.

 

Step back into the arcade, and clean the plagued streets of Cypress Ridge in Railbreak for Nintendo Switch. It’s survival of the fittest, and the fittest brought guns.

 

From the Developer:

“Previously thought to be impossible, Railbreak for Nintendo Switch combines the power of Unreal Engine 5 with the sizzling gameplay of arcade classics like House of the Dead,” says Julia Wolbach, co-founder of Dead Drop Studios. “The ability to play the game on a TV or when you’re out and about is a revelation, and the new touch screen control scheme is a literal game-changer for both veteran and novice players alike. Dive into the most convenient version of Railbreak yet on Nintendo Switch and let the bullets fly; it’s zombie season!”
 

Platforms and Pricing:

Railbreak launches for the Nintendo Switch family of systems on June 14th at an MSRP of $19.99, joining the currently available PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store versions. International pricing may vary.
