Enriched with elements taken from time management games, roguelike production, in which we take control over the train crew traversing procedurally generated locations. Our main task here is to search for raw materials used to create rails, on which the constantly moving composition moves. Unrailed! is designed for multiplayer fun.
Unrailed! is an imaginative roguelike game enriched with management elements. The game was developed with multiplayer mode at its core. Unrailed! was developed by the independent Swiss studio Indoor Astronaut, and published by Daedalic Entertainment.
In Unrailed! the action is shown from the top-down perspective. During the game, players take control of the train crew travelling along various procedurally generated locations; their list includes picturesque plains as well as snow-capped mountain peaks, sandy deserts, and volcanic deserts. The train is constantly moving, and our actions must constantly (and as soon as possible) put the railway tracks in front of it, so that it can safely reach the station. For their construction players need raw materials in the form of wood and metal.
This is complicated not only by the numerous obstacles that the train has to pass through (in addition, the locomotive has to be cooled down from time to time with water, otherwise it may burn), but also by the inhabitants of given areas. While some of the latter are friendly towards railwaymen, even offering them various tasks, others (aggressive fauna representatives being the most prominent ones) - quite the contrary. However, as players progress, they can upgrade their train making it a little easier to play.
Unrailed! facilitates multiplayer mode over the Internet or on a split screen. In addition to the cooperative mode, the game allows plyers to compete within the Versus mode, as well as facing endless challenges waiting in Endless mode.
Unrailed! has colorful, three-dimensional visuals, maintained in an unusual style; its individual elements consist of cubic blocks.

Game Ratings for Unrailed! Video Game.
Video Chums: 4 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
Unrailed! is an ingenious indie that really shines when you play it with a friend so hop aboard and see where this train takes you.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Henry Stockdale
Despite a well-executed premise and pleasing blocky visual aesthetic, Unrailed is ultimately a short-lived game. It tries to promote replayability with an inbuilt achievement system, leaderboards and different modes, but this doesn’t disguise a lack of depth to the core gameplay. It’s still an enjoyable experience though and whilst solo play won’t hold you for too long, if you can gather a group of friends to join, this is one co-op game worth looking into.
NintendoWorldReport: 6.5 / 10
While its graphical design is cute, the camera view loses a lot of this design quality leaving the players to squint to see any kind of detail. It brings the party atmosphere with an innovative idea but by simplifying the activities lowers the excitement potential. There's fun to be had here but mostly as a warm up.
