RailGods of Hysterra or Horror on the Orient Express? Either Way, the Latter Has Not Become A Videogame Yet!

Are you daring enough to wait in order to explore and do battle with the Great Old Ones in Railgods of Hysterra?

RailGods of HysterraNo date has been set for RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action videogame, but it’s safe to say it won’t be like Horror on the Orient Express! This role playing game published by Chaosium Inc., takes months to get through, but for the electronic version from Troglobytes Games, maybe the adventure can be finished over a weekend. And best of all, not all of the action will take place on board a train! Players will have to take to the streets to investigate the strange goings on.

This release from first-time publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment will be available for the PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.

From the Press Release:

Enter a ruined world of ghoulish horrors wrought by the Great Old Ones: ancient cosmic beings beyond human comprehension that took over the world.

And in what got me curious about this sequel is the paranormal theme. The idea of having to shoot possessed individuals to destroy in order to collect their spirit orbs to purify at what, I assume is the “Well of Souls,” seems like a good enough premise.

The co-op part means working with friends or the AI to continue gathering these balls, and beyond that, there are very little side scenarios to try out during my time with this product. Sadly, I got bored after a while. Also, players need to be subscribed to an online service on their respective console in order to participate. I suggest having the audio turned off, as portions of the dialogue get grating because of its repetitiveness. Goonyan is perhaps the most annoying because, well, he’s a cat who often finishes each line by saying, “Nyamo!”
