Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Corbie Games announce Steam Early Access for Bounty Train will begin on August 17th, offering a first crack at this "unique take on the train simulation genre," adding that a full release for Windows and OS X planned by the end of the year. The uniqueness is that this is described as a roguelike as well as a strategic simulation. This trailer offers a look, and here's more on the FTH (faster than horse) game:

Bounty Train features a unique take on the train simulation genre, with the player controlling a steam train in frontier America, following trade routes between towns, fending off attackers and managing the train. Players will hire and manage personnel (including drivers, armed guards and other crew), modify their trains with various engines and wagons, and keep those trains humming by purchasing fuel.
