Railway Empire 2 - Industrial Wonders

Plunge into the pounding heart of the Industrial Revolution in Railway Empire 2 – Industrial Wonders. Spearheaded by the steam locomotive, this era unleashed a wave of productivity and innovation, enabling complex supply chains and monumental construction projects that had previously been unimaginable. In Germany, the Ruhr Valley emerged as the powerhouse of industrialisation, where coal mines, steelworks, and railroads formed a vast, interconnected web of progress. Meanwhile, France prepared to crown the 1889 World’s Fair with the Eiffel Tower – a striking symbol of modern engineering. And in 1931, the United States began work on the Hoover Dam, a colossal concrete feat built with daring new techniques.

In Industrial Wonders, your railway company flourishes at the center of these transformative projects. Establish your own production facilities and build efficient railroad connections to fuel regional development and enable the construction of engineering marvels. A more intricate production system, featuring variable outputs and input goods per factory, adds new depth and complexity. If you manage to keep everything on track, you’ll witness some of history’s most iconic structures rise to industrial glory — one trainload at a time.

  • Steaming Steel: Railway Empire 2 – Industrial Wonders takes players on an entrepreneurial journey to three pivotal hubs of the age of industrialisation.

  • Heavy Duty: Utilize three authentic locomotives, including the iconic “Big Boy” and “Heavy Mikado”.

  • Full Steam Ahead: The DLC introduces three comprehensive, fully voiced scenarios, “Industrial Miracle” (starting 1869), “La Dame de Fer” (starting 1880) and “Concrete Giant” (starting 1910)

  • Shaping the Future: Prepare for the challenges of three new high-resolution maps of the Ruhr Area, Île-de-France, and the Lower Colorado Basin.

  • Ramp up Production: Become the master of industry with a more complex production system: Establish your own production sites and switch production goods for select rural businesses, while your factories have a greater variety in input and output goods.

  • Heavy Tunes: More than 15 new themed music tracks and jingles to get you in the mood for the new environment and locomotives.

Railway Empire 2 Ratings & Reviews

GameWatcher

by Neil Bolt

8.5 / 10

Much like the evolution of trains in Railway Empire 2's history-spanning campaign, the game itself has learned lessons from the original and forged ahead with a stronger outing all around. While it has a compelling competitive edge to it, the game is best when things are serene.

Push Square

6 / 10

Other game modes feel slightly less frenetic than the campaign and scenario modes, and are definitely the modes to try if you really want to take your time and not feel rushed. There's definitely a lot of opportunity to play the game exactly how you want to, and find the mode that works for you if you feel the competitive options are a bit too stressful.

Screen Rant

by Carrie Lambertsen

As a casual player, Railway Empire 2 can get incredibly overwhelming quickly with the number of different things to pay attention to, such as: resources, connecting lines, what the competition is doing, and budget. This is a strange contrast to the slow-moving nature of the game and the peaceful feeling that the theme and graphics provide. For anyone who is a fan of train simulators or management games, however, Railway Empire 2 is an enjoyable experience that can provide countless hours of entertainment.
