Features & Capabilities

"Finally, a deep and fun train management game designed perfectly for phones. Iron Roads is so much more than just a desktop game crammed onto a small screen!"

Optimise and grow your railways in this challenging train management game. Earn resource tokens by refining your network until your towns are thriving. Avoid queues, jams, or angry passengers to be recognised as the unsung train hero you know you are.

Iron Roads is a top-down 2D train management game in which you lay tracks, buy trains, and set their routes until you have an efficient network carrying passengers and cargo between your towns and factories.

With board game-inspired mechanics such as resource tokens, geographically-induced space constraints, and innovative track order systems, Iron Roads will appeal to players who relish the more cerebral, optimisation elements of train simulation games, as opposed to more realistic business sim/tycoon-type games. Ultimately, your goal is to set up an efficient rail network that keeps your passengers happy and on-time.

Spent about 10 hours tinkering around to get the hang of things. Loved what I experienced so far.

I’ve been playing games for years—decades, even—so trust me when I say this isn’t user error. I can’t get past step 2 of the tutorial, which is simply placing a track. Step 1 was zooming out, and that’s essentially all the game lets me do. My entire experience so far has been repeatedly trying to place a track, failing, and being able to do nothing except zoom out. The controls feel unresponsive and nonfunctional. The dev made a comment on Reddit about this, but seriously, was no play testing done?

Brought the full version of the game only for it to crash every time I unpause.
