Bounty Train takes place in the America of the 1860s, the player is the son of a Railroad Tycoon out to fulfil his dead father’s grand dream: an unbroken train line across America. But his former partners have other plans in store, and the building of the line becomes a desperate race to prevent a great evil.

Bounty Train is a complex, tactically challenging game. The player has to keep many balls in the air -- dealing with real time skirmishes with bandits, trading good for the best prices, resource management, train optimization and keeping the line (and train) in good repair. Players will hire and manage personnel (including drivers, armed guards and other crew), modify their trains with various engines and wagons, and keep those trains humming by purchasing fuel.

After a successful Steam Early Access period (since August 2015), Bounty Train will be released on May 16th for PC and Mac.

Two editions will be available: the basic edition for $24.99 and the Trainium Edition, including the soundtrack, digital artbook, two special in-game items and the first DLC for $34.99. In addition, a new, free update with additional quests, achievements, and balancing improvements will be released as well.

In addition, Bounty Train confronts the player with historical events, from the onset of the Civil War to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln -- and depending on player choices and performance, the course of history may be changed.

Bounty Train borrows elements from many genres and uses them to build a greater whole, a new unique strategy game experience.
