While it might seem that laying tracks is a hard and laborious task, from time to time video games appear that try to prove that this is not the case at all. Joining the Unrailed series, launched in 2020, is Loco: Rails & Tails, a cooperative action arcade game developed by the independent Polish team Hot Potato Games.
In Loco: Rails & Tails we view events from a bird's eye view. The production takes us to an alternative Wild West inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. During the gameplay , we take control of the crew of a train traversing four biomes, whose task is to make sure that the steel colossus reaches its destination and delivers the transported cargo on time.
The latter is not easy, as the machine is constantly moving forward, and the tracks on which it moves are laid on an ongoing basis, previously collecting raw materials and making the necessary components from them.
As if that wasn't enough, we have to defend the train from bandits attacking it. Although initially it's enough that we fight them hand-to-hand, over time we have to learn how to produce useful equipment, from white weapons to more advanced tools, led by a cannon or Gatling gun.
Since all of this happens very quickly, we have to dodge like a whiz while playing.
Although Loco: Rails & Tails allows single-player gameplay, the title has been prepared with a co-op mode for up to 4 persons in mind. We can play with other players locally or over the Internet.
