About the Game

Set in a huge open world reminiscent of the Americas during the golden age of steam trains, Railroads Online puts you in the role of a pioneer helping to shape the future of America. Build tracks, traverse vast landscapes in various steam locomotives, transport goods to earn money, and customize and buy new locomotives and equipment as you grow to become a railroad tycoon. Play alone or with up to 15 friends in the online cooperative multiplayer mode on 4 different large maps including Lake Valley, Aurora Falls, Pine Valley and Mesa Plains.

Tracks, trains & more

Design your dream rail network from the ground up. Explore the world, scout the best route and lay down embankments, switches, turntables and more. Select and build tracks, bridges and other infrastructure buildings afterwards. Then cross the vast, open landscape in finely detailed locomotives and wagons. Interact with regulators, valves, brakes, couplers, and many more features in first-person view as you drive your vehicles. But you won't simply be driving around aimlessly! Your mission is to build up your company by transporting goods across the country, including timber, ore, coal, cattle, gold and other various freight items for a broad variety of industries. Earn money for every successful shipment and invest in new vehicles or upgrade and customize your existing locomotives. Plus: build stations, yards, and other infrastructure along your routes to service your trains with fuel, water, and sand. You can also build up a wide variety of iconic buildings and objects to create a beautiful surrounding for your railroad network.

I want to like this game, but it is, at best, disappointing and unfinished, driving the trains feels unengaging most of the time, griding the same industry for hours at a time becomes a massive chore, and to top it all off, half the industries don't even show up on the map when you pull it up, which can be a little problematic in a game where you need to build tracks to go somewhere. There are a plrethora train-sims of far higher quality that are much much more worthwhile, especially for this game's price tag, and I don't anticipate any of it to change any time soon.

Abandon all hope, yee who enter here. Dead and sloppy game. Development was a total mess, and I even was insulted by a dev named Thomas. Turns out he was a useless engine after all.
