В новой игре-стратегии «Золотые рельсы. Истории Дикого Запада» вы перенесетесь в эпоху строительства железной дороги в Америке XIX века. Молодая выпускница университета в Нью-Йорке Джилл отправляется на свою первую работу главного инженера. Ей нужно будет за 50 дней успеть построить новенькую железную дорогу. Ведь ее работодатель, Джон, задолжал крупную сумму денег банкиру, и если не успеет выплатить долг – потеряет предприятие, которое досталось ему от отца.Игроку нужно будет строить железную дорогу, убирать препятствия, собирать ресурсы и восстанавливать все небольшие захолустные городки, мимо которых проходит путь Джилл и Джона. Кроме этого, героям придется противостоять козням коварного банкира, который просто не в силах смотреть, как лакомый кусок, который он уже считал своим, уплывает мимо его загребущих рук. Поэтому банкир нанимает бандитов, которые то устраивают засады, то грабят горожан, то устраивают похищение самого большого в мире золотого самородка, а то и вовсе похищают рабочих Джона.Помимо основного сюжета игры про строительство железной дороги и заданий, с этим связанных, игроку нужно будет выполнять и дополнительные квесты. Например, создать огромный тотем для индейцев или построить гигантскую статую дровосека, наладить бесперебойную работу почты и позаботиться, чтобы люди получали письма. Или сберечь для потомков гигантские секвойи, которые в реальной жизни были варварски вырублены именно в это время.В игре есть три режима прохождения, без времени, со стандартным временем и более сложный, при котором время строго ограничено. Кроме 50 уровней с разнообразными задачами, в игре есть небольшой сюрприз для игроков. На каждом уровне можно найти сову, чей портретик потом появляется в галерее «Разыскиваются». Иногда сов довольно сложно заметить, но удовольствие от полной коллекции вполне того стоит!
