Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.88/day in the week to Jul 21 → 2.8/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Let this bad boy cook for 1 or 2 years and it can crush the market. 30$ is high for this level of content tho.
Coming to Railroader from city building games like Manor Lords, CS 1 & 2, and Transport Fever 2 this is a different experience. Forget quick progress - a day's work takes a day and I like that. You need to get into the details and you make slow progress. Immersive and relaxing. The game runs smoothly on my rig, the mechanics are excellent and the game allows you to choose your level of micormanaging prgress. After 47 hours I am only at day 5 and things are starting to happen a bit faster, eager to see where this takes me. What I am missing in Railroader is life: People, movement. You get the effects of human activity but no humans. You see wagons parked on sidings being filled with produce or emptied of materials but you never see anyone loading or unloading so the world is pretty sterile. No cars on the roads, no pedestrians, no passagers waiting at the station or boarding / getting off your train. No villages or towns. I hope the devs are focussing on that aspect of the game, possibly insired by Manor Lords and City Skylines. Graphics are good but could be better. More variety of trees, better skies/clouds, ground texture... Overall this is a very good early access and I am glad I bought it

Отличная графика и интересный геймплей. Правда сценарий коротковат и баги есть...
Train go choo choo
I saw videos of this game on YouTube. I have to say the base game is truly amazing and I really enjoy it. Once I started adding mods it only created more and more enjoyment. A huge thank you to the developers on this game. Im excited to see each new update
Railroader is a train game for those who enjoy the management aspect of a railroad, plain and simple. The game lets you loose on a 'you-choose' style of expanding, with milestones and contracts being unlockable based on the player's free will. As such, the game thrives off this aspect, with the balance between contracts and their higher tiers leading to a differing view on how one chooses to divide and conquer, whether running multiple trains or having one "Super-Mixed" to provide a fun and versatile challenge that the player can make their save as hard as they choose it to be. Railroader is not, however, a game for those who want to run a steam locomotive. The game gives you 4 controls for a steam locomotive, nothing short of a simplified version of the challenges of operating a steam locomotive. As such, the game suffers from a operating aspect that can be described in one word: mundane. Eventually, the lackluster driving controls the game gives you leads to a constant use of an AI engineer, however, it is useful if you're trying to run multiple trains at once. This lack of excitement can especially be noted when the eventual end-game is unlocked, with the constant same-ness of trains leading to a game that feels more like a job. So, the game gets carried by the modding community. However, future updates do seem to be leaning towards fixing this issue, so there's definitely excitement still in the air. Although this review may seem negative, Railroader is still a great game when compared to other cash-grabs within this genre, the love in this is evident from the start. The best way to play this game is to challenge yourself from the start, take out big loans and try to repay them, operate on a shoestring budget, and make the most out of every moment and penny. As such, this game has taken hours of my time by experiencing it in a way that makes the most out of it's management aspect, and yes, the multiplayer is great!
Like having a massive model train set to play with!
I enjoy the game personally. One thing I like is the customization. Most sim companies over look this. You can never have to much customization ability
This game simulates how operating a railroad by yourself is difficult, and I love it for that reason. It gives a challenge to maintain a reputation and to not overspend.
