1.0 Is Finally Here!
Hellow Travelers!
After about a year and a half, Railroads & Catacombs is finally leaving Early Access. I want to give you a summary of all the content added to the game so far:
1.0 Update Content
Journey to the Labyrinth
Complete story of the journey to the Labyrinth, told in 10 chapters.
Caldigar City
The ancient city of Caldigar — legend has it that it lies at the heart of the Labyrinth. Explore this brand-new area and lose yourself in its eerie streets and shadowy alleys.
Final Boss Added
The final piece of the journey’s story—the one that gives meaning to it all. A fearsome final boss with several new mechanics, the ultimate challenge in Railroads & Catacombs!
Story & Lore Compendium
An extended War Book, letting you explore the complete story and rich lore behind the game.
Steam Achievements!
60 Steam Achievements are now live! Unlock rewards by conquering challenges, defeating bosses, and exploring every corner of the game.
0.9 Update Content
New Class, the Psychiatrist
The Psychiatrist joins the roster of classes. In the Labyrinth your men's Sanity hangs by a thread, and the Psychiatrist has arrived to either restore it or shatter it completely. The choice is yours.
His primary ability is Self Therapy. He is the only character immune to the Sanity mechanic and will always be in a Lucid state. Therefore, he cannot be the patient of another Psychiatrist, and Madness will never develop within him.
New Carriage, the Mental Care Cabin
The new carriage serves as the Psychiatrist's workspace, where they will attempt to twist the minds of your men through agonizing therapies, seeking to unleash their inner madness.
New game mechanic, Madness
A new mechanic allows you to induce Madness in your characters, turning them into powerful but unstable units.
Mad characters have permanent 0 Sanity, increased damage, and higher loot, but they're always in Hysterical state.
This is perfect for new recruits who need a damage boost, but be careful, as Mad characters are prone to dying quickly.
0.8 Update Content
3 New Bosses
3 new bosses will be unlocked once you have unlocked the first 6. These new bosses are late game content, so you will need to prepare your characters very well before facing them.
New Biome
These three new bosses come with a new biome that has been designed and hand-painted in great detail to recreate the dark world of Railroads & Catacombs in the best possible way.
Train Menu HUD Improvement
Small buttons have been added to the train's menu to make it easier to navigate to each car. This way, you won't have to walk the entire length of the train from one end to the other, which could be a bit annoying when you have all the cars built.
In addition, these buttons have been grouped by type to make it clear which cars improve the train, which cars improve the characters, etc.
New Scholar Special Skill
The Scholar's special ability has been changed. It is now the only class that can have a deck with a minimum of 5 cards. Remember that in the last update, the minimum number of cards for all characters was increased.
0.7 Update Content
New Deck archetype system: 15 New Subclasses
Some of you have told me that the characters' decks didn't differentiate enough. And to some extent, that was true because their cards were random. So you could see the same cards repeated in various characters who shared the same Warpath.
What I've done is define each subclass, that is, each combination of Warpaths with a predefined and distinct deck that, on its own, offers a different way of playing from the start.
The game has 6 Warpaths, each offering a different combat style. This results in 15 different combinations, leading to 15 distinct Subclasses.
New War Book
It´s a compendium with all the upgrade of the game and all the Subclasses. You can check it whenever you want to search info about all Warpaths and its mechanics.
New objectives in the boss panel
You start with 4 Subclasses and can unlock the rest by defeating specific bosses at specific levels.
I’ve worked alone on development for 9 years to get to this point, but I couldn’t have done it without your support. And I want to say this isn’t the end — I’ll keep expanding the game with new updates and listening to the community to make Railroads & Catacombs a truly unique experience! Exciting new things are coming!
