  • This will let you give the railroad tycoon-esque game a go before making a purchase
  • Railroads is one of Sid Meier’s premier titles

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I’ve seen the evolution of the industry from lite versions to try-before-you-buy updates, and it seems we’re back full circle. I find it rather amusing that even legendary titles like Sid Meier’s Railroads are jumping on this bandwagon now.

Nowadays, it’s common practice for high-end games to offer a trial-before-purchase option. Interestingly, this wasn’t uncommon in the past, as those who recall the era of free ‘lite’ game versions can confirm. The latest to jump on board with this trend is Sid Meier’s Railroads for iOS and Android.

If you haven’t encountered it before, Sid Meier’s Railroads is essentially as its title suggests – a comprehensive strategy game crafted by renowned designer Sid Meier. The game transports you to the era of steam locomotives in America, Europe, and Great Britain, where you build tracks, establish routes, and strive to control the expanding rail industry.

From now on, you can get the initial 20-year version of the Southwest US simulation for free, without any cost. Engage in a struggle against fellow railway tycoons during the California Gold Rush era to claim supremacy as the railroad industry leader.


Choo-choo

It seems to me that this approach might be the ideal one, not only to convince hesitant gamers but also to evaluate how effectively Railroads operates on your device. As I mentioned in my Maid of Sker review, performance is usually crucial for mobile games, and even a slow-paced strategy game like Sid Meier’s Railroads can be affected by this factor.
