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.
I got this on sale and it is fun but after 20 hours it falls off. As in its very repetitive and its just fetching or delivering, so I wouldn't recommend getting this unless its on sale for .99 cents like when I got it. I think it would be more fun if 1) we got the rest of the US to explore 2) have the gunman you higher have auto tasks such as turn on or off auto attack, repair, heal and put out fires so less micro managing on the train when an event happens 3) be able to buy another train equip it with gunman and send it off to runs for you wile you do other tasks 4) add a double header feature so you can pull longer and heaver trains 5) add more weapons you can buy for you and your crew 6) have auto targeting for gunmen that use mounted LMGs on the train 7) be able to have contracts with gunsmiths to acquire better weapon's faster at a cheaper price for running supplies to them 8) add more cars that can carry more freight or passenger's along with different types of passenger cars such as baggage, dining and combine cars for example 9) If you do help the south during the war make it have a serious impact that could ultimately the south winning the war and an alternate turn of events 10) add more engines that you can unlock that are stronger or faster so you can have a crew running a passenger train wile you run a freight train 11) add a bribe feature when smuggling contraband 12) have the time line go all the way to modern day so you can have more aspects of the railroad and when the US enters a war like WW1, 2 and so on have military contracts to run supplies for the military to win the war at the current time period
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.

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
