About Rail Route

Enter the world of rail networks and become the dispatcher of your dreams! Rail Route is a management and tycoon game based on railroad dispatching, offering relaxed, easy to understand (but hard to master) gameplay. Create the route of your dreams in a world where you set the pace, and embark on an ever-expanding railway extravaganza.

That’s not all, though – Rail Route offers three, unique game modes: so no matter what you’re looking for, we’ve got it!

Game Modes

Endless Mode

Endless Mode is Rail Route’s primary game mode. Expand your rail technology, unlock new trains (and types!), discover new stations (and lucrative contracts), and see how big your network can grow!

• Schedule your trains and make sure that they stick to their timetables
• Expand your rail network and build new, innovative components and buildings
• Earn rewards – money & experience points
• Unlock upgrades – improve your technology and dispatch interface
• Automate – build sensors, automatic routers and mechanize your network

Timetable Mode

Looking for a challenge, or something a bit more linear? Scored maps are puzzle levels with a pre-set train schedule and track layout. You have one goal, and one goal only: get your trains to their destinations on time!

• Dynamic scoring system
• Hand-made timetables – including both famous, and innovatively imagined, junctions and layouts
• Ensure that your trains arrive, and are dispatched, on time

Go ahead and compete for the high score!

Rush Hour Mode

Looking for something a bit more intense? Rush Hour is our ultra-streamlined wave-based game mode, designed for exactly that.

• Dispatch your way through wave-after-wave of trains, each one increasing in difficulty.
• Utilise a limited number of items as best you can – and make sure you don’t take too long!
• Oh, and don’t mind old Milos… He’ll just be there taunting you the whole way through!

Maps

We have over 2000+ community-made maps. So, if you have your own grand plans for a scored map (or if you’re looking to subject the community to your own wild machinations) you can! Rail Route comes with a built-in level editor – you’ve got access to the same tools we do! Recreate your favorite junction, build your hometown from scratch or design a rail network of your own. It’s up to you!

More to come…

Is that all? Of course not! There are a ton of other ideas we’ve been throwing around for updates later in Rail Route’s life. Most of our ideas come from the community, so feel free to pop into our Discord server if you’ve got any suggestions!
