Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love hearing player ideas, and many of them end up in the game. Early Access is the best way to involve you in development, so we can expand and improve Union Of Rivals based on real feedback. We're looking forward to working with the community to make a better game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for around a year, though that may change as the design evolves with player feedback. We'd rather adapt the schedule than ship something unfinished.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Union Of Rivals is planned to be larger and deeper than the Early Access build, guided by community feedback the whole way. Every citizen is a unique individual with their own attributes, skills, and traits, and we intend to build that system out further while expanding the quests and missions that drive your story. We also plan to add new goods and production chains, more buildings and services, expanded progression and tech options, and deeper systems for trade, logistics, law and order, and rivalry between towns.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Union Of Rivals is fully playable today. The Early Access version already delivers the core experience shown on the store page, from procedural towns and unique citizens to production chains, trade, logistics, and missions. From here, Early Access is about growing and polishing what's already there.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We may increase the price during Early Access as additional content and features are added, and we expect the full version to cost more than the Early Access price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We build Union Of Rivals in close contact with its players. You'll find us on our Discord and the Steam forums, reading every suggestion, bug report, and piece of feedback that comes in. The best ideas make it into the game, and we'd love yours among them.”

About This Game

Unite a Continent

The Rail Road Union has tasked you with an impossible feat: forging a path from the bustling East to the golden West. In this deep city builder simulation, you are the architect of progress. Lay tracks across treacherous terrain, establish vital trade routes, and transform isolated outposts into thriving hubs of civilization. The frontier is vast, but your ambition must be greater.

From Raw Earth to Iron Rails

Expansion requires more than just a blueprint; it demands a powerhouse of industry.

  • Harvest: Scout the wilderness to extract timber, stone, and precious ores.

  • Refine: Build complex production chains to turn raw materials into high-value trade goods and construction supplies.

  • Trade: Manage a dynamic economy where every resource can be sold for profit or used to fuel your westward expansion.

  • Procedurally Generated: Every game is uniquely generated, forcing you to adapt your resource chains and rail routes to the terrain. From the placement of mountain passes to the temperament of local villages

The Human Frontier

The West is already home to those who might not welcome the noise of progress. To succeed, you must master the art of negotiation. Every town leader and settler has a unique personality and a breaking point. You aren't just building stations you’re earning trust. Solve local crises, provide essential goods, and convince skeptical mayors that the railroad is their future, not their downfall.

Trade the market

Union of Rival features a feature rich simulated market that reacts to world events for all produced goods.
Sell high, buy low!
