Is it still worth playing?
Up to four players cooperate to lay a railroad ahead of a train and keep it from derailing, in this cooperative construction game from the Swiss studio Indoor Astronaut. To place rails you extract resources from the environment, wood from trees and iron from blocks of stone. The terrain is procedurally generated, with roguelike elements, resource management and limited saves. Each time the train reaches a station you can upgrade it with bolts earned while playing, and the upgrades open new biomes and speed up the gathering of materials. There are five modes: endless, versus, fast, sandbox and time, with local and online multiplayer. There is only one of each tool, so players must share them, and the engine overheats and catches fire if neglected. A runaway train still turns teamwork into a rush of chopping and laying rails.
