Alawar and Yustas Game Studio are going to tell you the story of a small town in the American West.

Jill and Jack built their first railroad and set off on a long-awaited vacation. Down the road they meet the mayor of a small town, who is being chased by trigger-happy bandits. Companions cannot stay away from the situation, they save the mayor and get a new contract. Now they have to restore the rails that will connect his provincial town with the civilized world.

But Raging Buford, the bandit leader, cannot stand the idea that this railroad, he has already considered his own property, is slipping away from his grabby hands. And while you are replacing rusty rails for new ones, removing obstacles and gathering resources, these bandits set ambushes, rob the townspeople and blow up bridges. So Jill and Jack have to stand up against the gang of robbers!

Two thumbs up! This is a really good time-management game from Yustas studios. This game is similar to the Golden Rails game from last year, but it is improved in every way. It is a real change of pace from many of the other time-management games out there, in that you feel like you are actually making a dynamic difference on the map, both with the train-switching mechanism and the worker-allocation mechanism.

First of all, the levels are very interesting. Unlike in series like Hercules or Moai, you're not just fixing buildings and repairing roads; you're a railway engineer and you have to lay track, hire workers, decide where they go (the same pool of workers are used in buildings and in running around the map), and turn switch-signals so that your trains go to different places. The fact that you have to keep your tracks maintained (such as shoveling snow that keeps falling) is a nice dynamic touch.

Additionally, there is a shooting-range mini-game every 10 or so levels for those of you who like to practice for your FPS games.

You can set the level of difficulty, from Casual to Easy to Timed and so forth, depending on whether you want to earn you 3 gold stars per level or have them handed to you. This is a nice touch especially if you're old or lack dexterity or strategic thinking, or even if you're great but just want to zen out and have fun building stuff.

One improvement that I personally like over the first Golden Rails is that there is a meta-game. In two ways: first there is a city that you can improve and decorate depending on how many gold stars you get on the various levels. Secondly, you get optional bonuses that you can use inside the levels if you want to. For example, workers are 30% cheaper to hire, or you earn 10% more money. The more levels you complete, the more bonuses you earn, and you can then go back and replay earlier levels.

There are 60 levels. As always with these games, I recommend playing 5 to 10 at a time. Each level can take 5 to 10 minutes each, so even doing a half-dozen can take an hour. And the game is more fun if you take it as it was designed, just doing a few levels a day.

Finally, I really love the music. I would buy an OST of this music. It's just a jaunty western tune, the kind that they used to play in old cowboy movies when the goofy sidekick would do something funny, so it's very appropriate for this game.

This is a really good time-management game from Yustas studios, makers of "The Viking Brothers" and "The Viking whatever other gender is there besides guys." (Seriously, that was the game where you spend the first levels crying, cooking, and reading romance novel. For "Golden Rail," I give two thumbs up. A definite recommendation.

Golden Rails: Small Town Story is a time management game very similar to the “12 Labours of Hercules” series and while it contains all the gameplay elements you would expect from a time management game, it does add a few new interesting twists to the standard mechanics. You will still need to focus on collecting resources and trading them for other resources, removing obstacles to open up new paths, construct production buildings, but some of these things are made easier, while others are slightly changed.

For one, the resources produced by buildings are now automatically collected after some time, or alternatively you can collect them yourself by mouse hovering over them. Either way, there’s no need to keep track of when the buildings finish producing any more, and this eases the gameplay a lot. On the other hand, many of the levels are built around a train mechanic that periodically brings in a larger quantity of resources to their corresponding stations. These have to first be repaired and then further upgraded to be capable of receiving bigger quantities, and you will also have to reroute the trains to their corresponding stations. Like in other similar games, some of the environmental resources replenish automatically after some time (you can harvest bushes over and over again), but other types of resources will require a manual refill. Cut down trees throughout the level map will grow back again (and be ready for a new round of harvesting) after you talk to a shaman that calls in the rain, or the water tower will have to be periodically refilled so that the surrounding buildings are actively producing.

While in other titles from this genre you can upgrade your workers 2-3 times, in Golden Rails: Small Town Story this is permitted much more and the reason for this is the upgrade mechanic of the production buildings. The workers will not only collect items from the environment, fight off bandits, save hostages, repair the train rails etc, but they can also be assigned / hired for production buildings. A level 2 production building can have either 0, 1 or 2 workers assigned and this number controls its output. As long as your production buildings are upgraded, you can adjust the number of resources you get from a certain type by moving around the workers you have available.

So overall it’s of course still a planning game, but the planning in Golden Rails: Small Town Story is a bit varied from what you’re used to in other time management games. It’s more of a “think big” kind of thing, rather than “plan the order of each step”. Yet even if there are so many mechanics, the levels feel very balanced and you can also influence the gameplay furthermore by selecting the most appropriate set of bonuses before each level (speed / more resources / less costs for hiring workers etc.). There are also three difficulties to choose from (that can be switched at any point), with all achievements being obtainable no matter the difficulty (playing the game on easy mode, without timers, will also award you 3 stars for a level). The stars that you get from completing levels can be used in a separate city panel view where you can spend them on building and upgrading the main buildings encountered in the game (this has only a cosmetic purpose, but it’s very nice to see the city fully rebuilt in the end). Also, in terms of achievements, there are no silly requirements like “beat the developer score on X level”, kudos to that.

I really enjoyed playing Golden Rails: Small Town Story, it brought some new fun mechanics to the genre. The background story isn’t anything spectacular and sometimes it doesn’t make much sense either, but the levels are solid and extremely entertaining. It’s a game that will likely appeal to both experienced and novice time management fans because of its flexible difficulty and the many ways you can adjust your gameplay.

Very enjoyable game, a bit slow (7-10 minutes per level), but really cute. As somebody who played many games with this gametype, from many different developers, I must notice that this one has few advantages compared to others. In this game, when workers acquire some product, you just need to move mouse cursor over it and it's yours, they don't spend/waste time to bring it to safe house like in other similar games. This feature is the one I most liked. Other thing is that on beginning on each level you can select which "bonus" (advantage) you want to use and that you can pick different one for each level (depending what you need the most on that level). One of last unlocking advantages is the one I most liked and that's speed up workers, very useful thing. Other thing I liked is that cute part of upgrading town (which is placed in middle of map), with every earned star you can upgrade it more and more. On end it looks really nice. I also liked that I can track progress of rewards/achievements from the game (on reward tab/button) you can see exactly how much you progressed with each achievement. Only 2 cons I noticed are that music is too repetitive, only one melody with just few seconds repeating and repeating (but actually is kinda cute also) and that for 2 achievements/rewards you need to grind around 1 extra hour in order to obtain those (upgrade houses and plant gardens). By summing up all the impressions I can say that this game is really worth playing and spending time in it (around 13 hours need to complete everything). Hope to see in future more Alawar games like this one... 💖 🚂
