Bounty Train

I gave this game a good 9 hour try a long time ago and I don't remember much about it, except that it was brutally hard to make any progress. I like challenging games, but this one was unforgivingly brutal. The learning curve was more like a Civilzation game or Endless Space: just way too involving for a story-driven RPG.

The Oregon Trail was better.

An Awesome and amazing game always loved playing it and i have hopes that the devs will one day make a bounty train 2 some day.

OK so yes, it's a fetch game. That's mostly because it's a train sim first. You are tasked with picking up various items/people and take them somewhere. I mean it's a train game. You have to buy engines, breaks, boxcars for people and goods. It's pretty cool and a little historic. ( i haven't verified anything, but a lot of stuff sounds familiar) Second, it's a roguish rts shooter. When you are transporting goods, you will most likely be attacked. If you have hired or acquired certain characters they will fight with you to beat the bandits. You're in the train peaking out of windows and going between boxcars (ala xcom) and the bandits are on horses with guns and stuff. Once that battle is over, you're back to controlling your train. Sometimes there will be no bandits and you'll just be controlling the train the whole time. That part is pretty simple, however, you do have to pay attention to speed and curves. Most of your time will be spent looking at the economy (ex. buy materials for x, sell materials for 2x) and managing your coal (the fuel you use to get from a-z). You start on the East coast and buy paths West - where the real money it. Because OUT THERE BE GOLD! (I…

I got this on sale and it is fun but after 20 hours it falls off. As in its very repetitive and its just fetching or delivering, so I wouldn't recommend getting this unless its on sale for .99 cents like when I got it. I think it would be more fun if 1) we got the rest of the US to explore 2) have the gunman you higher have auto tasks such as turn on or off auto attack, repair, heal and put out fires so less micro managing on the train when an event happens 3) be able to buy another train equip it with gunman and send it off to runs for you wile you do other tasks 4) add a double header feature so you can pull longer and heaver trains 5) add more weapons you can buy for you and your crew 6) have auto targeting for gunmen that use mounted LMGs on the train 7) be able to have contracts with gunsmiths to acquire better weapon's faster at a cheaper price for running supplies to them 8) add more cars that can carry more freight or passenger's along with different types of passenger cars such as baggage, dining and combine cars for example 9) If you do help the south during the war make it have a serious impact that could ultimately the south winning the war and an alternate turn of eve…

Just bought it on sale for a buck. It's definitely worth that. Probably even $5-10.
