About Railway Empire

✦ AI summary

Build an expansive rail network across 19th century North America, purchasing detailed trains and constructing stations, factories, and attractions while managing your workforce through five technological eras. Outmaneuver up to three rival tycoons through cunning strategy, sabotage, and industrial espionage as you race to dominate the continent's railroad empire.

United States, 1830: ‘The New World’ is in its ascendancy. Industry is booming, and the race is on to establish the most dominant and powerful rail empire in all of North America. It’s time to outthink and outmaneuver your competitors as you lead your company into the 20th century!

In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300 technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.

However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top – the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.

A fun game about connecting cities and business with rail lines and managing trains efficiently. There is some tedium in setting up signals and assigning platforms for stations, and I do find some scenarios run a bit long. Having completed the campaign and 2 of the DLC thus far, I hope there continues to be other interesting ways gameplay is tweaked to keep it fresh.

i would not advice buying. its starts off being fun. however the task becoming too complicated to complete. online review dont even give you full detail on how to complete some of the task in campaign. i played it off and on for about a month and a half. then i uninstalled it. btw the A.I. in the second part of this game cheats. the trains are able to passthrough one another which makes the game so non realistic. i will NOT be looking to buy part 2 of this game.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?
