 ===== Review ===== ===== Review =====
 The game is a side-scrolling 2D shooter with the goal of clearing the level so as to move on to the next level. You clear a level by finding a piece of paper with a code on it; you then input the code into a machine that lets you progress((:fn:>I don't currently know if the codes are randomly generated or not. I'd assume they are (because that would be obvious), but there is a chance they aren't.)). During the levels, you can pick up food, medkits, ammunition, and money. Medkits are used to heal yourself and passengers and food is used to feed passengers only. Money can be traded for more supplies or weapon upgrades. In-between each level - which are called stations, by the way - you have to maintain the train to make sure it doesn't explode.\\ The game is a side-scrolling 2D shooter with the goal of clearing the level so as to move on to the next level.

 You don't have to worry about saving ammunition, because there's plenty of it during the game - although you shouldn't be cavalier about it either. Most zombies can actually be killed with mêlée attacks without taking any damage, so learn to figure out how to fight in this way. You don't have to worry about saving ammunition, because there's plenty of it during the game - although you shouldn't be cavalier about it either.

-The lore is not as difficult to understand as it may at first appear. It's certainly different from [[playground:evangelion|Evangelion]], where it's not always easy to figure things out. My initial impression was that //The Final Station// was written to be intentionally mysterious...but I don't think that's true after my playthrough. So this is just me saying it's easier to figure out than Evangelion((:fn:>Although, as a slight note on this. I'd point out that Evangelion has a little more information available through itself and stuff like Neon Genesis Evangelion 2.)). However, the easiest to figure out was [[playground:Ender Lilies]]. All the notes there fit //too// neatly together.+The lore is not as difficult to understand as it may at first appear.
