After four years of early access, the alternate-world train survival game "Voidtrain" that supports multiplayer online is now officially available on the PC platform (Steam/Epic).

"Void Train" is a first-person open world survival and construction game that supports cooperative play for up to four players.Players take on the role of an engineer and embark on an adventure through another dimension, exploring a parallel world with unique history and laws of physics.

At the beginning of the game, the player drives a small mine cart and continues to upgrade his train as he explores the world of different dimensions.Construction resources such as wood float in the extra-dimensional space. Players can collect them, make various items, and customize their own trains.In addition, the game offers a wealth of vehicle equipment and customization options, including the use of locomotives and power units from different eras.

The other dimension, on the other hand, has its own ecosystem, with everything from harmless little fish to bloodthirsty sharks, who will sometimes attack players.Players can prepare guns and other weapons to fight back.

This game was initially launched on the Epic Games store in August 2021, and then launched on Steam in May 2023 for early access.

Since the early access stage, players have praised its setting of "driving a train through a strange world filled with floating islands and monsters", as well as its survival and construction gameplay such as material collection and exploration.However, many players have pointed out the problem of insufficient content in the game - the unlockable elements of research and manufacturing will stop midway through the plot, and there is room for improvement in enemy strength and game balance.

During early access, publisher HypeTrain Digital rolled out updates multiple times.Different from the practice of frequent minor repairs, this game adopts a "major update every few months" model.Each major update will bring a wealth of improvements, including new crafting items, balance adjustments, UI optimization, etc., making the game more playable and in-depth.With the accumulation of improvements, the originally mediocre reputation has gradually improved. Today, of about 5,700 reviews on Steam, 74% are positive, and it is in a "mostly positive" state.

Now, this work finally has its official version released.The third and final chapter of the main plot has been added to the official version.The "mystery of another dimension" that has been told through the notes of a scientist will finally be revealed when the player meets the scientist.

In addition, the development team also adjusted the rhythm of the game and optimized the slightly delayed parts in the early stage so that plot events can be more evenly distributed in the process.It is worth mentioning that the main plot and train upgrades are not strongly bound - players can either focus on advancing the plot, or they can slow down, explore the world in depth, and concentrate on development and production. Both methods can play smoothly.

According to the official update log, the game has also added new automation features, including automatic resource collection, automatic cleaning of trains, automatic care of the mysterious companion creature "Lofleemo", etc., allowing players to focus more on exploration and combat.

After these updates, the number of players of "Void Train" has also increased significantly.According to SteamDB data, the number of people online at the same time was only maintained at a few hundred people before, but now the peak is close to 5,000 people, and the popularity has almost returned to the level of early access.Whether the game can continue to heat up next is also a matter of concern.

HypeTrain Digital stated that it will continue to update after the official version is launched. In addition to repairs and optimizations, it also plans to launch new content and expansion updates.Whether "Void Train" can continue to develop and grow in the future is worth looking forward to.

Currently, "Void Train" has been officially released on the PC platform (Steam/Epic Games store).To celebrate the official launch, the Steam version enjoys a 35% discount until November 22nd, priced at 52 yuan.
