Steam & Glory, Take command of a 20-ton steam train and pilot it successfully with a Nintendo Switch Train Controller to the goal in this new arcade / simulation hybrid game from ROBYSOFT! Inspired heavily by Japanese train simulators such as Densha de Go!, Steam & Glory takes the action out west.

(cont'd) Not only must you arrive on time and stop on a dime at the station, but you'll have to race to evade bandits, dodge wagon crossings, pick up bonus gold and keep your rig from flying off the track or bursting into flames!
