Featuring more than 50 distinctive campaign missions, Railgrade is a unique new twist on the genre where the player must construct railway routes and efficiently deliver valuable resources in order to help rebuild a failing off-world economy.

Railgrade takes place in a dark, near-future where off-world colonies packed with rich resources are harvested by greedy corporations. However your employer, Nakatani Chemicals, has lost control of one colony following a complete economic collapse - so it’s now up to the player to salvage what’s left using retrofitted train transport. Develop a vast distribution and logistics network on this faraway planet by controlling the construction of new tracks, and employ strategic routes to efficiently deliver valuable cargo. 

Using easy construction tools, you’ll need to conquer geography, manage costs, and increase production to create perfect routes with a steady workflow. As your railways begin to bring in capital, you can profit by exporting extra goods via zeppelins, or construct new buildings to help continue the growth of cities. Harness the distribution power of your fleet of customizable trains, while also managing the production process, to maintain a steady flow of resources to your cities which will soon flourish.

Currently available through Epic Games Store, Railgrade will be coming to Steam & GOG later this year.

Developer Minakata Dynamics has further announced the development roadmap for the coming year.

Highlights include full Steamdeck support, a Steam Workshop integrated map editor, and a procedurally generated sandbox mode. Prior updates included additional 10 hours of story gameplay and play style modifiers.
