Frantic side-scrolling shooter Storm the Train was already pretty full when it left the station, but now it's standing room only as developer Games Faction has added extra character attributes, weapons, and a host of other features with its 1.4 update.

Among the most significant changes is that each of the three characters now has a specific role - Soldier, Heavy, and Medic - and you can switch between all three on the fly with a quick swipe of the finger, giving you access to each character's unique weapons, drones, and mech suits in a single round.

New weapons and gadgets will also be available from the in-game shop, offering a range of improvements over the originals, along with some new abilities. And if that all sounds a bit expensive, you'll be pleased to learn that Games Faction has made the in-game gadgets "substantially cheaper".

On top of all that, the coins you've spent to date will be refunded so that you can buy the new items straight away.

We gave Storm the Train a Bronze Award last November. You can pick it up on the App Store now for free.
