German publishers Daedalic Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing their "rouge-like train sim" Bounty Train, developed by Corbie Games, for Windows PC via Steam Early Access on August 17, 2015. The full release on PC and Mac is planned for Q4 2015. Check out the screenshots and trailer below.
Here's the official description of the story:
Bounty Train takes place in the America of the 1860s, the player is the son of a Railroad Tycoon out to fulfil his dead father’s grand dream: an unbroken train line across America. But his former partners have other plans in store, and the building of the line becomes a desperate race to prevent a great evil.
... and the gameplay:
Bounty Train is a complex, tactically challenging game. The player has to keep many balls in the air -- dealing with real time skirmishes with bandits, trading good for the best prices, resource management, train optimization and keeping the line (and train) in good repair. In addition, Bounty Train confronts the player with historical events, from the onset of the Civil War to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln -- and depending on player choices and performance, the course of history may be changed.
