Iron Roads

Your goal is to set up an efficient rail network that keeps your passengers happy and on-time

Iron Roads is a top-down 2D train management game in which you lay tracks, buy trains, and set their routes until you have an efficient network carrying passengers and cargo between your towns and factories.

With board game-inspired mechanics such as resource tokens, geographically-induced space constraints, and innovative track order systems, Iron Roads will appeal to players who relish the more cerebral, optimisation elements of train simulation games, as opposed to more realistic business sim/tycoon-type games.

Choose between 3 modes of play

• Endless mode: Start with just a couple of randomly-generated towns needing connection. If you serve them well, you are rewarded with R&D tokens that you can exchange for map expansions to add towns and systems. Start small, end devilishly complex!
• Scenarios: Hand-crafted experiences with distinct narratives and gameplay features
• Monthly challenges: Play time-bound challenges to compete for a spot on the high-score board

Features

• Minimalistic interface Well-suited for setting up sprawling and complex networks, while being approachable for new players
• Manage your resources Earn resource tokens by growing towns or completing contracts. Use your tokens strategically to expand your network and keep your erudite animal passengers happy
• Carry cargo Transport goods efficiently in interconnected production chains
• Research Unlock new trains, technologies, and things to transport
• Listen to the sound of your network Music in Iron Roads is a combination of notes generated from your trains and passengers, and authored melodies. The music you hear will be as unique as the layouts you build
