Description
Experience The Oregon Trail™ like never before! A modern reimagining of the road to Oregon, this official successor to the iconic classic will fully immerse you in epic journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the totally extreme. Surviving blizzards, broken limbs, snakebites, exhaustion, starvation, and the dreaded dysentery is no small feat; all the while navigating an untamed frontier to get your party to their new life in Oregon before the winter.

 

ALWAYS A NEW ADVENTURE

  • Build and name your party from different classes—each with their own starting items, skills, and personalities—to make every journey to Oregon unique.
  • Overcome hundreds of random events where your choices affect the fate of your travelers, and are influenced by their unique skills and traits.
  • Remember to take care of your party, wagon, and oxen, or they’ll become casualties of the trail.

 

FRESH FEATURES

  • Take on 15 playable Journeys.
  • Experience 7 Quests inspired by historical events.
  • Monitor your party members’ health, morale, stamina and hygiene.
  • Manage your inventory to squeeze everything you can into the wagon.
  • Maintain your wagon to prevent breakdowns and inventory loss from spoiling or spillage.
  • Learn about real people and places in your interactive Journal.
  • Collect and learn about the many interesting animals you'll see on the trail.
  • Catch 80 species in the new Fishing mini-game.
  • Obtain 140 achievements.

 

TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL

  • Hunting and Rafting make a long-awaited return, with faithful gameplay and all-new visuals.
  • Dysentery, river fording, broken legs, and many more classic hazards await!

 

STRIKING ART DIRECTION AND SCORE

  • A beautiful blend of charming pixel art characters, 3D environments and cutting-edge lighting and visual effects creates a unique visual style that’s both nostalgic and contemporary.
  • An all-original soundtrack of alt-country-inspired music combined with 8-bit-style sound effects.

 

RESPECTFUL REPRESENTATION

  • For the first time, the game features Native American playable characters and stories, celebrating the history and cultures of the peoples who first lived on this land and still live here today.
  • Thorough research and multiple academic consultants were involved in this game’s production to ensure accuracy and respectful representation of all peoples depicted in the game.

 

OFFICIALLY LICENSED & SUPPORTED

  • The Oregon Trail™ is an officially licensed game from HarperCollins Productions, who supported the evolution of The Oregon Trail™ so it would be true to the original, but with updated gameplay and visuals.
  • 2016 Video Game Hall of Fame inductee.

The Oregon Trail was, and is, a landmark product in gaming history. Gameloft’s remake updates a classic and makes it relevant and fun for gamers in 2022, without sacrificing the original’s personality. Setting off for the West has never been more inviting.

Hey Poor Playerby Daymon Trapold
4.5/5
With a game like The Oregon Trail, there’s always the concern that it’s simply a cash-grab banking on nostalgia of Millennials and Gen Xers. I’m quite happy to report that isn’t the case here. While there’s clearly a lot of nostalgia to be found, this iteration of The Oregon Trail proudly stands on its own. With one foot in the past and one in the present, it brings together all the best aspects of the original, and adds modern flourishes to give us a near-perfect game. Add in infinite replayability, as well as several different play modes, and this game is an absolute must-have for anybody who grew up with the original.

Great Remake.

Fun game. I was skeptical having played the old game years ago, but I was surprised how fun this was. This is a solid mix of strategy and luck.

GREAT, but not perfect.

Whilst I ultimately ended up refunding The Oregon Trail (not because I didn't like it; but because I was not interested, at all, in the Native American-focused narrative in comparison to the OG), it's insane how a well-crafted game like this can get an overall rating of 2.9/5. This game OOZES charm. The music is gorgeous. Characters are creative. It was a classic modernized in the best way possible and it DOES justify the pricing.
