On Track to Your Own Railway and Business Empire
Laying tracks, constructing trains and building cities – amassing riches. No fear of TRACK WORKS AHEAD! In the strategy game, “SteamPower1830”, this is just a small step on the way to your very own railway empire. The deciding factor in the challenging cross-genre game which combines strategy, building and business elements, is your adeptness and tactical skill in managing resources, building cities and choosing routes. Set in the golden age of the steam train from 1830 to 1930, a dynamic and exciting miniature world evolves as you create a complex microcosm of cities and railway lines guided by your own imagination.
The graphics shine with a unique, carefully crafted style, with rich landscapes and intricate details that instantly visualize each development step through hundreds of building stages and railroad improvements. Genre newbies, casual and mid-core gamers readily embrace the game thanks to its accessible concept, straightforward navigation and fair free-to-play design. The hex-grid layout of the scenery provides tactical depth and makes SteamPower1830 a veritable feast for strategy game aficionados. When playing in cooperative competition mode, even small details in your strategy and in the way you build your game can determine the outcome and put you on track for either victory or defeat.
The game’s cooperative multi-player mode guarantees fun and excitement for all – fully platform-independent with absolutely no barriers to overcome, nothing stands in the way of teaming up with fellow players to share a game. In SteamPower1830’s co-op mode two players work together on one of the game’s scenario maps and take on a challenge that would be impossible for one player to master single-handedly. The Ubique Game Engine allows players to view every single action taken by the co-player on their own screen in real time, even if different operating systems or platforms are used. A SteamPower1830 game session can be paused at any time and resumed later at exactly the same point in the game. The same applies to the multi-player mode, which allows players to leave or join a shared game session at all times.
A map of Europe offers a choice of 30 levels which are successively activated as the free-to-play single-player campaign progresses. In every scenario, the aim is to construct and manage railway lines, stations and steam trains to transport goods, and players are given complete freedom in designing the layout of cities and railway networks. Apart from the European scenario, an infinite number of randomly generated maps ensure an endless supply of new, gratifying challenges.
SteamPower1830 is instantly playable on all operating systems and devices with no downloads or plug-ins required; a current browser and an Internet connection are all you need. PC, tablet, smartphone or smart TV – whatever device the game is played on, a two-second loading time is all it takes and your steamers are ready for departure.
