RAILGRADE Arrives at the Station Ready for Action, Available on Epic Games Store and Nintendo eShop Today
Publisher Epic Games is excited to announce that the hotly-anticipated train management sim from Minakata Dynamics, RAILGRADE, launched today and is now available on the Epic Games Store and Nintendo Switch via Nintendo eShop.
In RAILGRADE players will join the Nakatani Chemicals Corporation as an administrator of an off-world industrial colony as they draw inspiration from earth’s railway transportation system to take their colony into the future. You’ll be handed the responsibility of overseeing production of the planet’s resources and managing logistics, to ensure the colony both provides and thrives.
As the whistle is blown and RAILGRADE leaves the station with its launch, here’s a brand new trailer for the management sim:
In progressing through missions, RAILGRADE players will design a railway network, even layering locomotion, to deliver the right resources to the right industry with utmost efficiency. Stay on track by customizing trains with a range of engine types, maximizing the benefits they offer and minimizing their drawbacks. RAILGRADE combines resource management with railway building to make you the architect and conductor of the railways. So you’ll need to be strategic as you utilize the simple construction system to rapidly get goods on the move and export them for profit.
“Launching RAILGRADE is a very special day for us and we’re excited to share it with the world” said Daniel Dressler, Founder at Minakata Dynamics. “We’re looking forward to seeing players combine creative thinking with strategy to develop their own unique networks across the planet.”
RAILGRADE is available to purchase on the Epic Games Store and Nintendo eShop now, with a special 10% discount valid until October 6. For more information, visit railgrade.com.
