Rogue-like train sim Bounty Train steaming to early access on Aug. 17

Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Corbie Games Limited have announced that rogue-like train simulator Bounty Train will be launching as a Steam Early Access title on August 17, with a full release scheduled for Q4 of 2015. Bounty Train isn't quite like other train simulation games in that players need to focus on a wealth of elements ranging from managing their crew to fending off attacks.

Various crew can be hired for your train such as drivers and armed guards. The train itself can also be upgraded with new engines and wagons, all of which rely on fuel for keeping the steam flowing. During their playthrough, players will encounter historical events such as the Civil War and assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The choices that players pick in these events might even change the course of history.
