Welcome to the Rails

Explanation

Step into the dusty boots of former outlaw Mr. John Railshot in RAILSHOT, a side-scroller boomer shooter set in the late 1800s! As you protect the trains of the Trans-Continental Railroad, face off against a wild array of enemies, both familiar and bizarre, all while seeking redemption in the eyes of the law. Get ready for a ride filled with intense gunplay and hand-crafted retro visuals!
