Seemingly simply at first, it has a lot of hidden depth. A nice blend of resource management and mini games i find quite enjoyable. Buy it on sale and give it a try.

It has some glitches and bugs, but I enjoy it. I'm normally not a fan of trading games, but this one has renewed my interest. Moving from place to place, buying and selling, all the while keeping up with the main goal. All through a historical lens of the industrial age. Start small and work your way up. Being able to smuggle, trade , and transport. It would be kind of cool if your train could get a lot longer, but simplicity is key. I'm not the biggest fan of the combat, nor the combat system, but I've seen worse. Most trading games involve being on the seas. Granted it was more historically accurate being a merchant ship, but trains are seriously underappreciated. Enjoyable, addictive, and historical.

Just found this game recently and I'm very impressed, especially since it only cost 99 cents! I would call it Port Royale meets Railroad Tycoon. It certainly doesn't have the depth of those two games but it does have a lot of good elements from both and a campaign that walks you through how to get started. It still took me like 10 restarts to get everything working correctly, though, particularly since it overwrites the autosave every time you enter a city; if you screwed something up and didn't do a manual save your stuck. I feel the market isn't working completely correctly: some goods weigh a lot less and are worth a lot less and other games would let you fit more on the train to offset the lower profit. In Bounty Train, no matter what it weighs, each unit of a good takes up one slot on the train. So even if the good is selling at more than double its cost it's more profitable to get less units of expensive, heavier goods that sell for a smaller percentage relative to it's cost. This is mitigated though, by requests for those goods that pay quite well A couple of things Bounty Train is missing that would've made it even better: ability to buy/add businesses in town (though other reviews hint at something like this already in the game I haven't seen it yet), ability to establish an office (and perhaps assign personnel) in cities that allow you to see the requests in a city without having to actually go there, more passengers, minimap, pvp or pve, All that being said, there is a ton of good things going on here and for the price you can't beat it!

A boot-scooter of a game, providing a beautiful shotgun-wedding between business sim & real-time strategy that your grand-pappy would be proud of.
