A class like the Railmaster from the MMORPG Torchlight Frontiers is surely something you have never seen before. For this character fights with a train for which he has to build tracks.
Who is the Railmaster? The Railmaster is one of the classes you can play in the MMORPG Torchlight Frontiers. He utilizes ancient dwarven technology and travels with a train across the land, for which he has to build the tracks.
The Railmaster is an excellent fighter, well-armored and strikes hard with his mighty hammer. The support he receives from the train makes him almost unstoppable.
The Railmaster already plays a role in Torchlight 2, which will be released in 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. In the game, however, he is just an NPC and not a playable character.
A warrior with a train
What is special about the Railmaster? While in most MMORPGs you dive headfirst into the fray as a warrior, with the Railmaster you need to proceed tactically. While he can join the fights, he also has to manage the railway that constantly follows him.
This means he has to build tracks so that the train can ride along with him. This train can hold cannons that will assist you in battle. It is therefore important to find a tactical position for the train. This way you combine a melee with a ranged fighter.
What does the train provide? The railway accompanies you constantly, and you determine how you want to use it. You can attach various cars, including weapons, shields, or tools. What exactly these will be and what they will bring you, the developers will reveal at a later time.
However, you decide how you want to assemble your train. For example, with small but fast-firing cannons or with heavy artillery that shoots slower.
Furthermore, the skills of the Railmaster play a significant role. For example, he can make the railway into a ghost train that rushes through a group of enemies and deals a lot of damage.
Or you can create a shield car that protects all your allies within a certain radius as long as the skill is active.
