Bounty Train

Set in 19th-century America, Bounty Train puts you in charge of a steam train and a railroad business. Its campaign follows Walter Reed as he travels across the frontier, pursuing family-related goals amid the era’s historical events.

Plan routes between cities, manage coal and limited train capacity, and carry passengers or goods. Buy and sell at different markets, take on contracts, and decide how to handle obstacles through choices such as diplomacy, bribery, or violence.

Upgrade locomotives and cars, recruit and equip crew, and prepare to defend the train during ambushes and other encounters. The campaign includes a non-linear story, historical events, and the option to choose among factions or change sides.

Players who enjoy Bounty Train often praise the unusual mix of train management and frontier trading, along with upgrading the train and crew. Its 19th-century setting and historical details also stand out for some players. Others find the travel-and-delivery loop repetitive, and reviews frequently describe the campaign as punishing or poorly balanced.
