Enriched with elements taken from time management games, roguelike production, in which we take control over the train crew traversing procedurally generated locations. Our main task here is to search for raw materials used to create rails, on which the constantly moving composition moves. Unrailed! is designed for multiplayer fun.
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.
GamingTrend: 90 / 100 by Timothy McVicar
Unrailed is simple, charming, and absorbing. The gameplay is addicting, and it is exponentially more fun as you add friends to your game. It's the best party game since, or possibly suring, Overcooked. A true hidden gem.
Nindie Spotlight: 6.7 / 10 by Justin Nation
While new and different ways to play are always an exciting thing in principle, how they work out in practice isn't always quite so great...
ThisGenGaming: 8 / 10 by Justin Oneil
While it is rather simple overall, I think fans of cooperative experiences will want to give Unrailed! a shot. The concept is a lot of fun and it will take some good communication between you and the other players to get your train as far as it can go. With options for both local and online multiplayer there is no reason for you and some friends not to hop on this train.
