Death Train: Beginner's Guide

Game creators in Roblox love to experiment with various genres: while some prefer Tower Defense, diverse anime-style shooters, and brainrot games, others try to add a bit of roguelite experience — like the developer of Death Train.

Despite its rather simple gameplay, playing Death Train is a lot of fun, and each train ride with better weapons and the ability to fend off waves of enemies feels like another personal achievement.

If you're still figuring out what to do in Death Train, this guide will walk you through all the intricacies of the game.

How to Play Death Train in Roblox

Upon entering the game lobby, you can purchase initial equipment (weapons, defense, etc.) for your train to equip it and enhance its combat capability and endurance. After this, by pressing the Start button, the train sets off with you on board, and you must protect it from waves of enemies using all the purchased equipment.

Along the way, you earn gold for defeating enemies. Your main task is to protect the train's cargo (a diamond) for as long as possible. Once enemies destroy all items and cargo, you will find yourself back in the lobby to buy new items, weapons, and upgrades and head out again.

The Train

The main action of the game takes place on the train, which you equip with purchased gear: crossbows, defense boxes, guards, and other items. These allow you to increase the overall attack power, enhance defense levels, generate additional gold during the journey, and more.

Here is a list of items you can arm the train with in Death Train:

After completing another run, you can obtain items to upgrade the train: lanterns, wheels, and other elements that can be replaced and used to enhance certain characteristics.

Weapons

Your character also shoots at the crowd of enemies using a shotgun. You can obtain better weapons from crates that drop randomly. The more expensive the crate, the higher the chances of getting rarer and more powerful weapons.

Here are the weapon crates you can purchase for diamonds:

Tasks and Free Rewards in Death Train

Every 24 hours, the game updates the list of daily tasks, for which you receive rewards — usually diamonds, which can be used to purchase weapon crates or saved up to buy special units.

Besides tasks, there are also daily rewards in the game that can be claimed once a day when you log in. If you log in daily without breaks, the reward gradually increases — up to the rarest one.

By entering codes in Death Train, you can receive additional free one-time rewards. However, codes don't appear very often, and you need to enter them before they expire.
