    Description
    All aboard the express train to riches and fame in Railway Empire 2! Don the coat of a clever entrepreneur, take over a small railway company in the early 1800s and turn your steam engines into the workhorses of the economy. Grow your company into the largest railway company of the continent and outsmart your competitors as you connect cities and companies with an ever-expanding network of rail lines, bridges, and tunnels. 60 famous locomotives are at your disposal, all pulling freight and passenger cars as they usher in an era of historic importance during the Industrial Revolution.


    Railway Empire 2 features bigger, more detailed and lively maps than ever before. The whole of the US and continental Europe are covered in two huge, sprawling maps, whilst more detailed maps put the focus on specific regions of each continent. Improved track construction helps you focus on the important decisions as you drive the economy and help the growth of the cities. Signals are placed automatically, bridges can hold up to 4 tracks and the expandable train stations can now have up to 8 tracks.


    Choose from 6 different characters to lead your railway company, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Play the 5-chapter campaign or choose any of the 14 different scenarios. Set your own difficulty in the fully customisable Free Play mode or build the perfect rail network in construction mode. Tackle the competition of your railway empire together with friends in Co-op Multiplayer. You can also board one of your trains and gaze upon the scenery passing by as the iron horse speeds along the tracks while you sit back and enjoy the view.

     

    • History in the making: In 1830 at the dawn of the age of railways, build a grand railway empire from scratch and choose from 60 detailed, historic locomotives that you can customize with your preferred colors and company initials.
    • A sprawling landscape: Huge and detailed game world covering the whole of the USA and Europe in one single map each, as well as more detailed regional maps spread all over the US and Europe.
    • Endless Possibilities: Choose how you want to play from the 5 chapter campaign set across iconic regions of Europe and the US, 14 scenarios, the customizable free play mode, the relaxing construction mode and co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players controlling the same railway company.
    • Improved track construction: Laying Tracks is easier than ever with automatically placed signals, bridges that can hold up to 4 tracks, train stations with up to 8 tracks and new train station attachments to customize your stations. The land also adapts to your track layout as your tracks cross mountains, valley and plains.
    • Enjoy the view: Ride along your train and see the landscape rush by from the inside of the wagons or from the front seat in the driver’s compartment of the steam engine.

    Railway Empire 2

    Badly calculated. The trains have low capacity while the cities need a lot to grow, and they grow way to fast. I did not get even to 1840 and the rails are jammed. I am sure they did not have 8 parallel tracks in 1840 yet it is still not enough to satisfy the needs of the cities.

    Fantastic!

    I bought the first game quite recently and that is a superb game, with some minor issues, for me personally, due to playing Transport Fever 2, which uses slightly different signalling methods, but it became a minor point after playing it for a while. Anyway, Railway Empire 2 has similar difficulties initially, because a few things have changed from the first game, but once you get used to those differences, it all becomes clear. As with the first game, the sound and graphics are gorgeous, especially on the ride-along. Track construction is much simpler and the game feels very polished overall. There is one issue, but again this is personal to me, you can change the size of the UI, which I HAVE to do, but this does obscure things, pretty badly at times and there is no way to move windows out of the way, so it becaomes a case of camera adjustment, which isn't ideal. I have adapted to that, but it would be easier if you could just move windows out of the way instead. I have the DLC also and that gives you huge oportunities for creating your rail empire in different parts of the world, no-doubt with their own individual challenges, along with some amazing scenery. All together, despite my individual issue, this is a fantastic game if you are a fan of this genre :-)

    Pretty good.

    Not far in but most of the pain points from the first game have been addresseed. Stations still feel a little dumb and the limitation on station buildings is an .... interesting design choice.

    Fix the bugs. The game has been out long enough to not have to deal with bugs

    Learning Curve

    This game takes some patience to understand and a long tutorial to learn. Directions are not easy but you need to take time and repeat lessons before you are able to run
