Golden Rails: Small Town Story

[h1] Golden Rails: Small Town Story [/h1] Casual game of 2021. A land of opportunity awaits Jack and Jill as they embark on their well-deserved vacation in America's West. But as their train rumbles along the rails, they suddenly hear the crack of gunfire and hoofbeats, and they know this journey will take them deeper than planned into the lawless frontier. After saving a mayor from certain death, Jack and Jill embark on an adventurous mission to connect his small town to the civilized world. But as they battle the harsh landscape, Raging Buford and his cronies lurk behind every cactus. (Editor) So much for the background to the game. This is a collecting game that does everything a bit differently than other game series of this type. It starts with the nice story and runs through the whole game. Just good gameplay. Of course you have to collect as much as you can, but within a logical framework without senseless more, more, more. In particular, the varied management of your workforce makes it a strategy game at a high level of difficulty. My fun recommendation has it.

Ein Land voller Gelegenheiten liegt vor Jack und Jill als sie ihren wohlverdienten Urlaub in Amerikas Westen antreten. Aber während ihr Zug über die Schienen rumpelt, hören sie plötzlich das Peitschen von Schüssen und Hufschläge und sie wissen, dass diese Reise sie tiefer als geplant in das gesetzlose Grenzland bringen wird. Nachdem sie einen Bürgermeister vor dem sicheren Tod bewahrt haben, beginnt für Jack und Jill eine abenteuerliche Mission, in der sie dessen Kleinstadt an die zivilisierte Welt anschließen.

Dies ist ein Sammelspiel das alles ein wenig anders macht als bei anderen Spieleserien dieses Typs. Das fängt bei der netten Geschichte an und zieht sich durch das ganze Spiel. Einfach ein gutes Gameplay. Du musst auch hier natürlich sammeln was das Zeug hält, aber dies halt in einem logischen Rahmen ohne sinnloses mehr, mehr, mehr.

[i]Golden Rails: Small Town Story[/i] is a time management game very similar to the “12 Labours of Hercules” series and while it contains all the gameplay elements you would expect from a time management game, it does add a few new interesting twists to the standard mechanics. You will still need to focus on collecting resources and trading them for other resources, removing obstacles to open up new paths, construct production buildings, but some of these things are made easier, while others are slightly changed. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2379856312 For one, the resources produced by buildings are now automatically collected after some time, or alternatively you can collect them yourself by mouse hovering over them. Either way, there’s no need to keep track of when the buildings finish producing any more, and this eases the gameplay a lot. On the other hand, many of the levels are built around a train mechanic that periodically brings in a larger quantity of resources to their corresponding stations. These have to first be repaired and then further upgraded to be capable of receiving bigger quantities, and you will also have to reroute the trains to their corresponding stations. Like in other similar games, some of the environmental resources replenish automatically after some time (you can harvest bushes over and over again), but other types of resources will require a manual refill. Cut down trees throughout the level map will grow back again (and be ready for a new round of harvesting) after you talk to a shaman that calls in the rain, or the water tower will have to be periodically refilled so that the surrounding buildings are actively producing. While in other titles from this genre you can upgrade your workers 2-3 times, in [i]Golden Rails: Small Town Story[/i] this is permitted much more and the reason for this is the upgrade mechanic of the production buildings. The workers will not only collect items from the environment, fight off bandits, save hostages, repair the train rails etc, but they can also be assigned / hired for production buildings. A level 2 production building can have either 0, 1 or 2 workers assigned and this number controls its output. As long as your production buildings are upgraded, you can adjust the number of resources you get from a certain type by moving around the workers you have available. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2379856436 So overall it’s of course still a planning game, but the planning in [i]Golden Rails: Small Town Story[/i] is a bit varied from what you’re used to in other time management games. It’s more of a “think big” kind of thing, rather than “plan the order of each step”. Yet even if there are so many mechanics, the levels feel very balanced and you can also influence the gameplay furthermore by selecting the most appropriate set of bonuses before each level (speed / more resources / less costs for hiring workers etc.). There are also three difficulties to choose from (that can be switched at any point), with all achievements being obtainable no matter the difficulty (playing the game on easy mode, without timers, will also award you 3 stars for a level). The stars that you get from completing levels can be used in a separate city panel view where you can spend them on building and upgrading the main buildings encountered in the game (this has only a cosmetic purpose, but it’s very nice to see the city fully rebuilt in the end). Also, in terms of achievements, there are no silly requirements like “beat the developer score on X level”, kudos to that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2379856388 I really enjoyed playing [i]Golden Rails: Small Town Story[/i], it brought some new fun mechanics to the genre. The background story isn’t anything spectacular and sometimes it doesn’t make much sense either, but the levels are solid and extremely entertaining. It’s a game that will likely appeal to both experienced and novice time management fans because of its flexible difficulty and the many ways you can adjust your gameplay.

Two thumbs up! This is a really good time-management game from Yustas studios. This game is similar to the Golden Rails game from last year, but it is improved in every way. It is a real change of pace from many of the other time-management games out there, in that you feel like you are actually making a dynamic difference on the map, both with the train-switching mechanism and the worker-allocation mechanism. First of all, the levels are very interesting. Unlike in series like Hercules or Moai, you're not just fixing buildings and repairing roads; you're a railway engineer and you have to lay track, hire workers, decide where they go (the same pool of workers are used in buildings and in running around the map), and turn switch-signals so that your trains go to different places. The fact that you have to keep your tracks maintained (such as shoveling snow that keeps falling) is a nice dynamic touch. Additionally, there is a shooting-range mini-game every 10 or so levels for those of you who like to practice for your FPS games. You can set the level of difficulty, from Casual to Easy to Timed and so forth, depending on whether you want to earn you 3 gold stars per level or have them handed to you. This is a nice touch especially if you're old or lack dexterity or strategic thinking, or even if you're great but just want to zen out and have fun building stuff. One improvement that I personally like over the first Golden Rails is that there is a meta-game. In two ways: first there is a city that you can improve and decorate depending on how many gold stars you get on the various levels. Secondly, you get optional bonuses that you can use inside the levels if you want to. For example, workers are 30% cheaper to hire, or you earn 10% more money. The more levels you complete, the more bonuses you earn, and you can then go back and replay earlier levels. There are 60 levels. As always with these games, I recommend playing 5 to 10 at a time. Each level can take 5 to 10 minutes each, so even doing a half-dozen can take an hour. And the game is more fun if you take it as it was designed, just doing a few levels a day. Finally, I really love the music. I would buy an OST of this music. It's just a jaunty western tune, the kind that they used to play in old cowboy movies when the goofy sidekick would do something funny, so it's very appropriate for this game. This is a really good time-management game from Yustas studios, makers of "The Viking Brothers" and "The Viking whatever other gender is there besides guys." (Seriously, that was the game where you spend the first levels crying, cooking, and reading romance novel. For "Golden Rail," I give two thumbs up. A definite recommendation.

Aber ein paar Banditen machen ihnen einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Als unsere beiden Helden mit ansehen, wie diese Halsabschneider einen Mann bedrohen müssen sie ihm zu Hilfe eilen. Wie sich herausstellt ist der gertette der Bürgermeister der nahe gelgenenen Stadt, welche dringend Hilfe braucht. Also übernehmt ihr diese Aufgabe, helft beim Wiederaufbau und versucht dem Banditenchef das Handwerk zu legen. 🎮 [b][u]Gameplay[/u][/b] Von eurem Büro/Stadtzentrum/Stützpunkt aus, schickt ihr eure Arbeiter los um die verschiedenen Rohstoffe einzusammeln. Nahrung, Eisen, Holz und Geld könnt ihr so anhäufen. Jack und Jill helfen euch zudem dabei Farmer und Indianer anzuheuern, Kühe einzufangen, sowie Werkezuge, Dynamit oder Blumen zu besorgen um die diversen Sonderaufgaben zu erfüllen. Dabei hat jede Karte eigene Aufgaben die erfüllt werden müssen um das Level abzuschließen, das kann der Aufbau von Gebäuden sein, der Versand von Rohstoffen mittels Eisenbahn oder das anlegen von Gärten. Zudem gibt es auf jeder Karte eine Eule die sich hinter irgendeinem Baum versteckt und die man suchen kann. Insgesamt gibt es 60 Level und in jedem kann man bis zu 3 Sterne erhalten, wenn man zügig voran kommt. Mit der Zeit kommen Boni hinzu, die es einem etwas einfacher machen. Insgesamt gibt es 4 Bonikategorien mit jeweils 3 Boni und aus jeder Kategorie darf man sich zu Beginn jeder Mission einen wählen. Zudem gibt es noch ein Minispiel. In diesem müssen Banditen abgeschossen werden wenn sie auftauchen. Dies geht mittels Mausklick. Ist man nicht schnell genug schießen sie auf einen und man verliert Zeit. Ab und an fliegen Enten durch das Bild, diese zu treffen bringt Bonuspunkte. Ältere Spieler dürfte es an [url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorhuhn_(Spieleserie)]Moorhuhn[/url] erinnern. 🎥 [b][u]Grafik[/u][/b] Das Spiel präsentiert sich in einer bunten Cartoongrafik die auch für ein jüngeres Publikum geeignet ist. Fast alle Karten sind einzigartig, nur einige wurden leider recycelt bzw. sehen einander extrem ähnlich. Es gibt Schneebedeckte Landschaften, trockene Wüstenregionen und grünende Ebenen. Dazu einige Gebäude und Landschaftsobjekte. Alles natürlich recht schlicht aber dennoch schön anzusehen. Die Animationen von Figuren und Objekten sind flüssig. Zudem gibt es ein paar kurze „Filme“ die aus einer Hand voll Bildern bestehen. 🎶 [b][u]Sound[/u][/b] Die Vertonung besteht ausschließlich aus ein paar heiteren Musikstücken. Keine Vertonung von Charakteren oder Filmen und auch nur wenige Soundeffekte. ❤︎ [b][u]Fazit [/u][/b] Wer die [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/342580/12_Labours_of_Hercules/] 12 Labours of Hercules[/url] Reihe, die [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/415830/Gnomes_Garden/]Gnomes Garden[/url] Spiele oder einfach andere Titel von [url=https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/ALAGAMES]Alawar Entertainment[/url] kennt wird sich hier sehr heimisch fühlen und nichts verkehrt machen. Ein sehr angenehmes Spiel für Zwischendurch, denn kein Level dauert länger als 10 Minuten. Da es nicht schwer ist eignet es sich auch für Anfänger oder Kinder und bietet, wenn man alle Sterne schaffen will, dennoch genug für erfahrene Gamer.

They start on time and usually finish the work before the due date! Their secret weapon? They own a train and can travel faster than anyone in their era. After all, not many people own a train in the Wild West. As they completed the last job ahead of schedule, the prolific couple decide to take a bit of a break as autumn comes to a close. Travelling at full speed towards their next destination, they hear gunshots! An old fellow on an old horse is being pursued by bandits! Jack, who is one of the best gunslingers in the entire Wild West, comes to the rescue by shooting rapid shots from the locomotive. Safe and sound, the old fellow turns out to be the Mayor of the town in which Jack and Jill plan on having some time off! Hmmm . . . it turns out that the town has been taken over by the fearless bandit, Raging Bulford! So it seems that their next project is driving off the bandit and his gang, in Golden Rails: Small Town Story! Golden Rails: Small Town Story is a casual/time management game developed by Yustas Games Studio and published by Alawar Entertainment on the 15th of January 2021 on the Steam platform. The game consists of 50 levels and 10 extra levels when you complete the campaign. First, you’ll have to create a profile and choose your level of difficulty, from Easy (which has no time limit), to Normal and Hard (which have time limits within which you must complete each level). You goal is to clear each stage with a minimum of 1 golden star out of three to unlock the next one. You’ll also have to find a Wanted Owl hidden in each stage, which is fun, but doesn’t give you any extra bonuses at all! You’ll also have five mini-game sessions, which will be available each time you complete 10 levels. It’s a bit like the type of game you find at a fairground; instead of shooting ducks or other animals, you have to hit the bandits that appear on the screen before they shoot at you first. If they do, you’ll lose 10 seconds at a time. Oh, and you still have birds to shoot as well, which will give you additional points. It’s fun and provides the game with something extra, which is always welcome. As you would expect in this type of game, you’ll have to complete a certain number of tasks as fast as possible to be awarded three golden stars. Yes, you have to hire workers to get rid of all the obstacles in your path, to repair and upgrade buildings to receive more food and money. You’ll also have to repair railways (in a lot of levels) and flick the switch to the rails to direct the trains as you to their relevant stations to unload their cargo. I really enjoy the fact that you can choose your bonuses, but not straight of the bat. In most casual and time management games, bonuses appear at the start of a new level. Here, they are divided into four tiers. Each tier has three bonuses, and you can select one of the three bonuses available to suit the upcoming stage. Bear in mind, you must finish a certain number of levels for these bonuses to become available. For example, the first three bonuses of the first tier will become available when you complete levels 4, 8 and 12. And so on and so forth. Then you can choose one bonus of each tier to help you to achieve the golden stars. The story is fun, and it will take you from 8 to 10 hours to complete the main campaign on the normal level of difficulty, depending on how quickly you find all the owls and achieve the three golden stars in each of the levels. Nice graphics, and the soundtrack suits the game very well. Mind you, I had to switch it off after a while, even though I like country/western music! The game runs well, and I like that you can choose your bonuses. For me, it’s an excellent casual/time management game. Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Nice graphics + 60 levels in total plus a handful of mini-games + Fun little story and enjoyable game + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No trading cards as yet - A bit repetitive A town has been taken over by the fearful Raging Bulford and his gang! Only Jack and Jill will come to their rescue! 8/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

Tuff, tuff, tuff, wir fahren in den Puff. Schönes Zitat von "Die Doofen". Mit diesem Spiel hat man aber auch so seinen Spaß. :-)) Jedenfalls gibt es wieder einmal 60 tolle Level. Neben Gleise verlegen, Gebäude reparieren, Kühe einsammeln und melken, Rohstoffe sammeln und Werkzeuge herstellen, Holz sägen, Räuber verhaften, Wege freisprengen, gibt es auch noch anspruchsvolle Aufgaben, wie z.B. für die Dame Blumenbeete anlegen. Es gibt also sehr viel zu tun, und es wird einem niemals langweilig. Zusätzlich gibt's eine kleine nette Story. Schön so. Die Steam Errungenschaften sind auch nett, für 100% musste ich z.B. Level 49 ca. 10 mal wiederholen, weil ich unbedingt noch diese 100 Blumenbeete für Madam voll machen wollte. (Ich meine anlegen! Nicht voll, wie voll. Also...^^) Hat auch garantiert keine Nebenwirkungen hinterlassen. ;-) Alles in allem ein tolles Spiel, kann ich absolut empfehlen. Fazit: "Du wolle Rose kaufen?" Äh, quatsch! Kaufen, kaufen, kaufen! :-)

Golden Rails: Small Town Story n'est pas en soi un jeu exceptionnel, du fait de la relative pauvreté de ses mécaniques... En revanche, il exhale une atmosphère suffisamment sympathique et relaxante pour se rendre immédiatement attachant. Le jeu propose une suite de maps sur lesquelles sont disséminées diverses ressources, bâtiments, et personnages le long de chemins extrêmement linéaires. Il s'agit de dégager ces chemins bloqués (par exemple en ramassant des ressources, réparant les ponts, bouchant les trous etc), afin d'arriver aux bâtiments dans l'ordre optimal qui permettra de terminer les objectifs de la carte dans le temps imparti. (Par exemple réparer une voie de chemin de fer qui demandera précisément d'avoir amassé un certain nombre de ces diverses ressources). Si comme moi vous souhaitez jouer à ce titre dans l'unique but de passer le temps et vous détendre sans challenge particulier, un mode easy désactive la limite de temps, permettant d'aborder et enchaîner librement les niveaux sans la moindre pression. Et c'est pour cela que ce jeu ramasse sans problème un pouce bleu malgré la relative indigence de sa proposition de gameplay : dans la mesure ou il ne demande pas particulièrement d'attention ni de concentration, il est à mes yeux idéal pour se délasser, ou jouer quelques minutes avant d'aller dormir quand on est trop crevée pour faire des jeux plus exigeants. C'est en tout cas comme ça que je l'apprécie personnellement. La réalisation est impeccable. C'est joli, fonctionnel, ergonomique... Même les quelques boucles musicales sont sympas et ne s'avèrent pas trop lassantes. Je signale en revanche que le jeu est uniquement en anglais (mais clairement rien d'insurmontable). L'ayant chopé à moins de 4€, je ne regrette pas mon achat, et la 50aine de niveaux qu'il propose me semblent être un contenu tout à fait honnête.

Достойное продолжение первой части серии. Улучшения (плюсы): 1. Совы теперь прячутся и найти их труднее. Но за это теперь полагается достижение. 2. Вместо строительства железнодорожной линии с запада на восток - обустраиваем железнодорожную сеть вокруг города - меньше дёргать карту туда-обратно. 3. За полученные звёзды теперь можно улучшать город (останется две лишних звезды :) ) 4. Появился общий список локаций с условиями их прохождения. Теперь для поиска локаций для гринда накопительных достижений можно потратить меньше времени 5. По прохождению уровней открываются различные бонусы, дающие или скидку на покупку товаров, или улучшения рабочих. Можно подстраивать игру под свой стиль прохождения. Минусы (ну не понравилось мне, бывает :)) 1. Теперь внутриигровой список достижений показан в виде состава. Каждому достижению - свой вагон. Но! Таскать мышкой 5 экранов вправо, 5 экранов влево... бррр! 2. Остались достижения, в которых надо гриндить одни и те же локации. Как пример: "Цветущий сад" - высадить цветы около 100 домов. После прохождения игры - у меня было всего лишь 52/100. Хорошо, что теперь есть список локаций с требованиями к прохождения: есть целых 3 места, где таких домов аж по 4 на уровень. Так что некоторое разнообразие местности - присутствовало.

Very enjoyable game, a bit slow (7-10 minutes per level), but really cute. As somebody who played many games with this gametype, from many different developers, I must notice that this one has few advantages compared to others. In this game, when workers acquire some product, you just need to move mouse cursor over it and it's yours, they don't spend/waste time to bring it to safe house like in other similar games. This feature is the one I most liked. Other thing is that on beginning on each level you can select which "bonus" (advantage) you want to use and that you can pick different one for each level (depending what you need the most on that level). One of last unlocking advantages is the one I most liked and that's speed up workers, very useful thing. Other thing I liked is that cute part of upgrading town (which is placed in middle of map), with every earned star you can upgrade it more and more. On end it looks really nice. I also liked that I can track progress of rewards/achievements from the game (on reward tab/button) you can see exactly how much you progressed with each achievement. Only 2 cons I noticed are that music is too repetitive, only one melody with just few seconds repeating and repeating (but actually is kinda cute also) and that for 2 achievements/rewards you need to grind around 1 extra hour in order to obtain those (upgrade houses and plant gardens). By summing up all the impressions I can say that this game is really worth playing (for this price, even better if you wait discount) and spending time in it (around 13 hours need to complete everything). Hope to see in future more Alawar games like this one (with Steam achievements, of course)... 💖 🚂 P.S. Thanks to developer for sharing this game with ☆ LILLY'S CORNER ☆ curator.
