Unrailed! is an imaginative roguelike game enriched with management elements. The game was developed with multiplayer mode at its core. Unrailed! was developed by the independent Swiss studio Indoor Astronaut, and published by Daedalic Entertainment.
In Unrailed! the action is shown from the top-down perspective. During the game, players take control of the train crew travelling along various procedurally generated locations; their list includes picturesque plains as well as snow-capped mountain peaks, sandy deserts, and volcanic deserts. The train is constantly moving, and our actions must constantly (and as soon as possible) put the railway tracks in front of it, so that it can safely reach the station. For their construction players need raw materials in the form of wood and metal.
This is complicated not only by the numerous obstacles that the train has to through (in addition, the locomotive has to be cooled down from time to time with water, otherwise it may burn), but also by the inhabitants of given areas. While some of the latter are friendly towards railwaymen, even offering them various tasks, others (aggressive fauna representatives being the most prominent ones) - quite the contrary. However, as players progress, they can upgrade their train making it a little easier to play.
Unrailed! facilitates multiplayer mode over the Internet or on a split screen. In addition to the cooperative mode, the game allows plyers to compete within the Versus mode, as well as facing endless challenges waiting in Endless mode.
Unrailed! has colorful, three-dimensional visuals, maintained in an unusual style; its individual elements consist of cubic blocks.

Game Ratings for Unrailed! Video Game.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
If there was a little more to it, it'd be easier to recommend, but it's certainly worth a quick trip.
JumpCut PLAY: 7 / 10 by Taylor Gamble
Unrailed! on the Switch is a very fun time sink when you fancy a quick game of something before plans. There is a great core game here with a very enjoyable look, but it’s initially let down by the lack of player communication mechanics, which prevents new players from understanding the game’s intricacies and learning from experienced players without actively leaving the game in pursuit of external materials. Once you do overcome this hurdle, however, you are rewarded with the true quality of the game being presented to you, and you’ll very quickly find yourself engrossed even for just the short time span you intend to play for.

Unrailed! is an ingenious indie that really shines when you play it with a friend so hop aboard and see where this train takes you.
