Bounty Train

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 think) I've never made it... I'm apparently addicted to messing up and restarting.

A Great Game to Relax With Bounty Train is a simple, easy-to-get-into game that I really enjoy coming back to. I love jumping into this one when I'm tired and don't feel like dealing with overly complicated or stressful gameplay. It's the kind of game I throw on when I just want to chill out, relax and have some fun without having to think too hard. It's simple, but that doesn't mean there's no challenge. There are still moments where things can get a little tricky, which keeps it interesting without making it stressful. If you're looking for something easygoing that you can pick up and play without a huge learning curve, Bounty Train is definitely worth picking up.

Отличная игра - особенно для тех кто любит просчитывать всё до мелочей и выходить благодаря этому чаще победителем. Игра очень сильно развивает и тренирует точное мышление - где при правильном просчёте ты чаще оказываешься в плюсе и успеваешь в установленные сроки! Благодарю разработчиков за такой хорошо сбалансированный продукт который развивает интеллект и развлекает разными интересными ситуациями! Я получил массу положительных эмоций - когда мой поезд преследовали индейцы!)

Я прошёл кампанию часов за 16 и теперь мне есть что сказать. Игра сделана в приятном стиле, музыка добавляет атмосферы. Рассматривать её как экшен или экономический симулятор наивно. она немного угловата, но в своей нише она одна из лучших. Купил тут, продал там, по пути пострелял. Это было бы скучно, если бы не десятки отсылок на историю и кинематограф. Отдельный респект за отсылку на фильм с Бастером Китоном Генерал. Если эта игра не зашла с первой попытки посмотрите этот фильм.

The gameplay is split into two major loops: business management and real-time tactical combat. You must manage trade routes, buy low and sell high across different cities, optimize coal consumption, and hire a reliable crew. During transits, your train will frequently be ambushed by bandits or raiders, shifting the game into a real-time tactical skirmish where you must command your crew to exchange gunfire, extinguish fires, and defend your locomotive, which can be upgraded into a literal fortress on rails.👍 PROS:Unique genre mashup: The fusion of economic trading loops and real-time tactical cabin defense works surprisingly well together.Rich historical atmosphere: Real-world events from the Wild West era and accurate designs of iconic steam machines add great depth to the setting.Deep upgrade systems: Customizing your train feels highly rewarding, allowing you to attach passenger cars, cargo holds, steel armor, and heavy weaponry.Impactful faction standing: Navigating relationships with different factions (Union, Confederates, Native Americans) directly dictates your trading prices and safety.👎 CONS:Steep learning curve: The economic and combat loops can be unforgiving early on; a single poorly managed ambush can completely wipe out your progress.Combat loops get repetitive: After extended play sessions, random rail ambushes start relying on the exact same defensive positioning and patterns.📈 My Score: 7.5 / 10 (Recommended)A solid, deeply mechanical niche title that fully earns its Mostly Positive community status. If you have a soft spot for historical steam trains and tight economic strategy, this is an easy recommend! ---{ 7,5 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7,5 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

[h1] OLHA O TREEEEEEMMM!! [/h1] Confesso que uma das coisas que mais me fez querer jogar Bounty Train foi um motivo extremamente simples. Tem trem. E isso já ganhou muitos pontos comigo. Mas, felizmente, o jogo entrega bem mais do que apenas locomotivas. Bounty Train mistura estratégia, gerenciamento e sobrevivência de uma forma bastante interessante. Você não controla apenas um trem. Você administra toda a viagem. Compra recursos, protege a carga, melhora a locomotiva, recruta tripulantes e precisa tomar decisões importantes durante o percurso. É um jogo que exige planejamento o tempo inteiro. Gostei bastante da sensação de evolução. Começar com um trem simples e, aos poucos, transformá-lo em uma máquina muito mais eficiente dá uma ótima sensação de progresso. Sempre existe alguma melhoria para comprar ou alguma forma de otimizar a próxima viagem. Outro ponto positivo é a ambientação. Viajar pelos Estados Unidos durante o século XIX cria um clima bem diferente da maioria dos jogos de estratégia. Os eventos aleatórios também ajudam bastante a manter cada partida interessante. Nunca dá para saber exatamente o que vai acontecer na próxima parada. Visualmente, ele cumpre bem sua proposta. Não impressiona pelos gráficos, mas a direção de arte combina com o período histórico e faz cada viagem ter seu próprio charme. Agora... É um jogo que exige paciência. O ritmo é bem mais lento do que a maioria dos títulos do gênero, e algumas mecânicas poderiam ser explicadas melhor. Quem procura ação constante provavelmente vai estranhar. Mas, para quem gosta de gerenciamento, acaba sendo justamente parte da diversão. No fim das contas, Bounty Train é uma experiência bastante diferente. Talvez não seja um jogo para todo mundo. Mas, se você gosta de estratégia, administração... ou simplesmente acha qualquer jogo com trem automaticamente mais interessante... Vale a viagem. Porque, convenhamos... OLHA O TREEEEEEMMM!!

Couldn't figure out what to do except lose money ... oh well.

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