About Railway Empire 2
✦ AI summary
Build and manage a sprawling railway empire across massive maps of the US and Europe, connecting cities and industries while competing against rivals with 60 historic locomotives at your command. Streamlined construction tools and multiple play modes—from campaign and scenarios to cooperative multiplayer—let you focus on strategic decisions while watching your economic powerhouse grow during the Industrial Revolution.
All aboard the express train to riches and fame in Railway Empire 2! Don the coat of a clever entrepreneur, take over a small railway company in the early 1800s and turn your steam engines into the workhorses of the economy. Grow your company into the largest railway company of the continent and outsmart your competitors as you connect cities and companies with an ever-expanding network of rail lines, bridges, and tunnels. 60 famous locomotives are at your disposal, all pulling freight and passenger cars as they usher in an era of historic importance during the Industrial Revolution.
Railway Empire 2 features bigger, more detailed and lively maps than ever before. The whole of the US and continental Europe are covered in two huge, sprawling maps, whilst more detailed maps put the focus on specific regions of each continent. Improved track construction helps you focus on the important decisions as you drive the economy and help the growth of the cities. Signals are placed automatically, bridges can hold up to 4 tracks and the expandable train stations can now have up to 8 tracks.
Choose from 6 different characters to lead your railway company, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Play the 5-chapter campaign or choose any of the 14 different scenarios. Set your own difficulty in the fully customisable Free Play mode or build the perfect rail network in construction mode. Tackle the competition of your railway empire together with friends in Co-op Multiplayer. You can also board one of your trains and gaze upon the scenery passing by as the iron horse speeds along the tracks while you sit back and enjoy the view.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The negative reviews for this game are very frustrating - it is objectively an improved and streamlined followup to the original that removes a lot of points of frustration and allows us to make bigger and more exciting layouts. The negative reviews I see largely come down to two things: 1) "Simplifying" the game. I did NOT enjoy manually placing signals, creating complex transfer criss-cross lines at stations, and micromanaging individual trains. I enjoy building efficient railways to handle different loads of trains, and now I can focus on that. Stations can have twice as many platforms, and you can have way more stations per city, so these changes are a big plus for me 2) Not using trains outside of their historical region. I can see why freeplay players might be annoyed by this, but I only play scenerios so this doesn't apply to me.1 found this helpful
DLC's improve the game however, I believe they are a money pit. That doesn't make the game less intresting.
Great game,it can be frustrating and the GUI is a bit clunky but its well worth it. Its not easy either and building railways is tricky!
Trains, trains, and more trains!!!!!!
very nice game
For €50 — which is what I paid — you don’t get very much. The game feels simply made, and the options are quite limited. If I compare it to another game like Transport Fever 2, which cost €40, you get far more content for that price, plus many more building and management options. As you can see, I haven’t played this game for very long, and I bought it about four months ago. So no — for me, the game is not worth the price.
