Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Хорошая стратегия , где надо думать , и открывать маршруты , и выгодно перевозить пассажиров , и товары , и ресурсы , вообщем игра стоящая .
Pretty old, but still fun to play.
Хороший симулятор железнодорожного магната, в который достаточно приятно играть и сейчас, спустя 20 лет. Исследуешь карту, строишь дороги, перевозишь грузы, ставишь палки в колеса сопернику. Поначалу очень не хватало кнопки паузы, но со временем привыкаешь, что некогда думать, надо строить - соперник-то не дремлет. Что касается багов, лично у меня был всего 1 вылет за всю кампанию, а фризы, на которые многие жалуются, появились только в последней миссии, поэтому от игры я получила в основном приятный опыт.

Понимаю что игра старая. Но исправьте вы уже эти зависания
游戏本身不错,具备一定可玩性。问题是有灾难性bug,一般到了第四关有AI对手以后,后期100%会卡死(因为地图上的火车多了,游戏内存调度有重大BUG)。并且这个BUG,无法通过SL解决,读取存档以后照样过几秒就卡死。我也是服了,多好一游戏,我都怀疑当年这个游戏发售的时候就有这个重大BUG。 根据讨论区里老哥提供的1.07补丁,依然无法解决我的问题,覆盖以后游戏直接打不开了,懒得折腾了
Es ist ein wunderschönes klassisches Spiel aus dem Jahre 2003. Es ist fast zwei Jahrzehnte her wo ich das Spiel Railroad Pioneer zum ersten Mal gespielt habe. Und vor kurzem habe ich das Spiel bei meinem Freund wiederentdeckt. War überrascht, dass das Spiel plötzlich auf Steam bei ihm war. Also habe ich mir ein paar Tage später mir selber auf Steam geholt. Es wird noch verrückter: Das Spiel läuft auf Linux nativ, ohne dafür eine Protonversion zu aktivieren! Dank Publisher des Spiel auf Steam. Zu Beginn muss man doch selbst einen kleinen Fix vornehmen, da der Publisher irgendwie verpeilt hat in deutschen Version Sounds einzufügen. Aber dafür gibt es entsprechende Guide auf Steam, welches eigentlich direkt auf Spieleseite zu sehen ist. Ich erinnere mich noch, dass ich das Spiel Railroad Pioneer nie komplett durchgespielt habe, da es damals anscheinend im Verlaufe der voranschreitenden Missionen zu schwerwiegende Bugs kam, woran dann die Lust daran verlor. Ich weiß nicht ob diese Bugs mittlerweile heute schon gefixt wurde. Jedenfalls konnte ich in ersten zwei Missionen keinen schwerwiegenden Fehlern vorfinden. Aber ich werde es noch nachtragen, wenn ich wieder auf solche Stoße. Inzwischen schwelge ich in nostalgische Erlebnissen. :-)
Sono stato sempre un grande appassionato di questi generi, ho prevalentemente giocato a Railroad Tycoon.

Save files get corrupted frequently and the game crashes quite a bit. Makes it very hard to actually play. That being said, it's actually a decent game. Like many JoWood games of that era, there's a solid premise, with an interesting twist, but it's implemented in a functional, but sort of clunky and ultimately user-intensive sort of way. Much as you might expect from a game with "Pioneer" in the title, the game is about exploration. The first part of every map starts with getting a team of rugged adventurers together with a wagon to go west and find suitable rail routes. Unfortunately, your pioneers are Globawfully slow (until you have a busy rail network to manage, you'll need a second activity to keep you busy while they explore, like Insta) and they require constant attention to keep them exploring efficiently. They constantly have to return to a town to recruit new members when, a prospector, for instance, unlocks a resource node, you have to go all the way back to town to recruit another or you don't get anymore resource nopes. The pioneers are also really expensive early on and you have to choose between exploring quickly or trying to build an economy quickly. Which is probably realistic, actually. Rail management is pretty easy and upgrading towns and resource nodes, researching new engines, etc. make sense. I will say the interface for all this stuff takes some learning— none of it is intuitive. One annoyance is building engines and cars. Just a few cities on every map have the ability to build engines or cars and you can't queue more than one of anything at a time. So to build a long train, you have to do a lot of tedious clicking and waiting and checking back to see if it's done. It's also tedious if say, you have a resource on one side of the map and want to make a train to transport it, but your industrial center is on the other side, you have to sit there making an engine and then one car at a time, then assemble the train. Then send it across the map where it creates traffic the whole way. Then you can finally use it. There's just a lot of extra clicking and watching and waiting that could have been easily automated. A game interface/these sorts of mechanics would never fly in the modern world. It feels more like they didn't have time to develop the interface fully vs. simply not wanting to make it all user-friendly. And Jowood was a small studio, so that may have very well been the case. I ended up uninstalling and giving up the ghost, because after all the tedious things I had to forgive to enjoy playing it, I can't forgive corrupted save files and having to start over every map multiple times (something the game actually punishes you for by removing the engines you had used in the corrupted save file from your company fleet).
Nagyon gagyi. Már 20 évvel ezelőtt amikor ez kijött, sokkal komolyabb játékok voltak a piacon stratégia kategóriában is, így ez nem mentség. Mikor elküldöd az embereket felfedezni, az életkedved megy el, mert az atyaúristenért nem akarnak abba az irányba menni, vagy ha igen, a kép továbbra is fekete marad s nem fedezi fel. Ezen kívül nem lehet gyorsítani a játékmeneten. Meg az egész hub ótvar. Max 1 órát, ha el lehet vele lenni.
решил вспомнить детство. тогда игру не прошёл. Сейчас прям залип. прикольная игра. но с косяками. вылетала переодически и висла. решил проблему может кому поможет. игра запустилась на виртуалке с установленной виндой 7, графика и разрешение на минимум. в целом терпимо. последние 2 миссии вообще не зависали. прошёл все 10 сюжетных миссий. думал почему то игра подлиннее.. надо сохранения оставить а то мало ли :-)
