This is a game with a really intriguing premise and a well designed gameplay loop. It's simple - do quests for the residents of the island, get scrap for it - then, upgrade your train until you can kill Charles.

The game is intense, and has a couple of surprises that make it scary besides Charles himself. The train feels like a cozy safe space in the midst of the spooky atmosphere and the distant train horns by Charles.

The ending was superb, and now I want a sequel. This game is unique and very memorable.

Choo Choo Charles is one of those games that looks simple on the surface but hits with pure, chaotic joy once you dive in. Riding around in your train, upgrading crazy weaponry, and facing off against that guitar‑playing spider‑train is as absurd and awesome as it sounds — and somehow, it works brilliantly.

Combat feels satisfying and punchy. Every encounter keeps you on your toes, and the way your train evolves with new weapons and gadgets makes progression feel exciting and genuinely rewarding. There’s a real sense of power as you turn your humble locomotive into a formidable force of destruction — and losing it (because Charles got you) only makes the next victory sweeter.

The world is fun, weird, and full of personality. It doesn’t take itself seriously, and that’s part of what makes Choo Choo Charles such a refreshing experience — it’s unapologetically its own thing. The visuals are bold and expressive, the audio design pumps up the tension and silliness in equal measure, and roaming the tracks always feels like an adventure, even in quiet moments.

Best of all? The core concept is delightfully quirky, and it somehow manages to stay entertaining from start to finish. If you love games that take a wild idea and run with it, Choo Choo Charles delivers in spades.

10/10 — bizarre, brilliant, and full‑on fun.

so fun yet maddening would be fun to stream
