Walk anywhere or drive a train in a 256 km2 world, covered in rich vegetation, mountains, fields, lakes, rivers and a massive railroad network, spanning 15 diverse industries and towns. Days and nights seamlessly cycle over the valley, with dynamic clouds, fog, rain and environment sounds spicing it all up. Change the switches, board the vehicles, leave them, take them somewhere specific - the choice is yours.
Derail Valley depicts complex intricacies of diesel locomotives with varying transmission types, as well as steam engines, and does so in depth. Through behavior, sounds, physics and interaction, vehicles' characteristics are designed to fully immerse and challenge you. You might even learn something new about them! On top of that, you'll find yourself spontaneously involved in coupling, servicing, brake securing, shunting and other railroad procedures.
Every location offers and receives certain cargo, forming a dynamic chain that you take part in. Deliveries are procedurally generated; they vary among themselves and almost no delivery will be the same as the other. Deliver cargo between industries, or do the shunting and logistics that help the stations create more deliveries. Pick your orders freely, move cars throughout the valley according to your licensing and locomotive availability.
Earn money by completing deliveries. Master efficient driving and look after the vehicles you use to minimize fuel and repair costs. Buy new items and licenses that allow you access to more vehicles and orders. Alternatively, play in sandbox mode where economy is not in focus; where you can create custom scenarios, have fun doing whatever and capture fun videos using built-in photography tools.
Whether you prefer turning every knob manually or taking a laid back approach from a birds-eye view, difficulty parameters have got you covered. From the preferred camera view down to the ease of coupling, difficulty customization makes it possible for you to find the challenge and comfort levels that you're happy with.
There are currently 6 locomotive types in the game, each based on a different technology or offered with drastically different characteristics. With more in the pipeline, the simulation is built to support locomotive mods as well. Other than the powerhouses, there are a few work train vehicles, over ten types of cars and more than 50 types of cargo available, as well.
Be it a derailment, collision, blown traction motor, boiler explosion, failed brakes, HAZMAT disaster or even something as mild as wheelslip on a rainy slope, Derail Valley doesn't just present you with a popup screen when you make a mistake - you get to experience the consequences of your actions, even if they're a rare occurrence.
Derail Valley not only supports the major PC-based VR headsets, but has been built to support them from the ground up. Experience the game spatially present and using your own hands to operate the controls. This is the ultimate experience, the closest there is to being a real railroader. Additionally, you can seamlessly share the same playthrough among the PC and VR sessions - choosing the platform based on your mood.
Whether you are new to trains or an experienced veteran, the game features tutorials that are quick to get you going. However, a comprehensive user manual also exists, for when you want to dive deep into the details.

Full disclosure, I am in no way a certified train engineer/operator. With this game, however, I sure can feel like one!
I have to play this game in VR mode but the way the keyboard and mouse controls handle I have a hunch the VR controls are very intuitive.
I've only played on default difficulty settings and to me the game hits a sweet spot in terms of feeling challenged and accomplishment. There are times when you think you have something planned out well, but something goes amiss. Oh well, it may be frustrating in the moment but usually there's an "Ah hah" moment where you learn something new :)
Anyways, personally, I liked the game. If you like trains you'll probably enjoy this game too.
Hi, I'm Sebastian Bach, and if you F***ING LOVE TRAINS like I do, then Derail Valley is the game for you.
Hopefully 1 person gets the trailer park boys reference lol.
Seriously this game is the standard for any train sim, it puts most to shame. Thank you devs keep up the great work,
Excellent game, worth every penny. With about 300 hours in the game, probably "beating" it around 100 hours (unlocking all licenses), and having most of the new demonstrators unlocked, I have pretty much explored all of the new content it has to offer, and yet, I still don't get bored, and keep coming back for more.
I think the mechanical simulation is very accurate and impressive.
Derail Valley is great just to boot up and unwind after a long day.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev team continues to put out.
Even at this point, this game offers a surprisingly polished and meditative experience, even if somewhat confined. There's much more to come, and I'm here for it.
Full review pending.
for a game called derail valley i haven't derailed once yet and plan to keep it that way
will keep posted if i do derail tho (written at 21 hours)
While there are some things that I would like to see different, I can support this game for 100%!
The devs keep adding to the game, and expanded the possibilities vastly over the past years. This game is amazing especially if you come from Train Sim World, where now you can decide what to do, when to do it, how to do it and what route to take.
The few gripes I have with the game and would like to see changed in the future are:
- Some QOL improvements (e.g. see the maps in 3d-person view, a completely viewable map when using the HUD, etc..)
- A bigger map with longer distances to drive if you wish, with different biomes
- A better and more complete manual with a more logical index where you can search on keywords
These gripes are minor because as a train enthusiast Derail Valley brings what no other train 'sim' (with possibly the exception of Railroader which is also a wonderful train game) does, and without pumping out expensive DLC before maybe possibly some time optimizing the existing game.
If Francis Bourgeois plays video games, I imagine this is the game he plays. If you own a VR and cargo trains fascinate you a bit just buy this game. Well done Altfuture, worth every cent!
Creo que es el mejor simulador que jamás he jugado nunca, superinmersivo y realista sonidos, graficos motores y manejos fisicas increibles, para mi crea un antes y después mi total y absoluto apoyo a esta desarrolladora, por cierto CERO BUGS con decir que compre muchas rutas en train sim world 5 y ni las he jugado, solo juego a derail valley ya.
Very good simulator for the genre, I was disappointed about some locos being locked behind career stuff in sandbox, but I soon found mods to fix. I'm personally not interested in making deliveries or restoring the locos. I got this game to drive the big steam train and crash. 10/10 for both.
It's everything I could hope for in a train sim. It's got logistics, it's got fun to drive trains, and it has bombastic destruction when you get it wrong.
It's highly customizable difficulty, plus sandbox mode, makes it perfect for either having a serious hauling career or just watching trains do their thing.
great game even on some lower end computers I have played this game on my 2013 dell latitude gaming laptop it has a hard time running most games but once it load the game it runs smooth
A very realistic train game with tons of nice fetures.
If you dont want to do jobs you can still go in sandbox.
This is not early access long time ago, this is just amazing sim especially for VR.
Thank for tons of fun to developers!
I haven't derailed and crashed into a valley yet. 0/10
(in all seriousness this is really fun)
VR NOT REQUIRED!!!!
Great train sim, definetly gives the feel of running a mini train. with plenty of choices of how to run the trains. you can do it all first person, or use a gui full of buttons and even follow the train with a birds eye view.
playing campaign you earn money by running jobs, and use that money to unlock more dangerous loads, longer cars and more! start by driving a heavy shunter, the diesel electric 2, and quickly move to the more powerful diesel hydraulic 4, and hanage the manual gearbox and max speed (which will blow the diesel motor!) alot of fun, and plenty to be found.
the most recent update added additional stations and new trains, and a "museum" that lets you restore and personally own the train engine!
26 hours in and iv owned this game less then a week. i enjoy simulators but iv never been able to get into a train sim before. something about how this was delivered makes me enjoy it alot. overall 10/10 support the devs anyway you can!
Hours and hours of fun, and the dev is constantly working on making the game/sim better
i absolutely love this game cant wait for it to get some ai trains running about my only suggestions is letting you pick between steam or diesel for a starting engine in career mode. also once you find a locked barn or demonstrator engine it being marked on the map or even allowing you to place markers on the map as well as being able to zoom in on the map to better see towns without using the station maps. but even without those things there is hours of fun and even more hours of not dun finding your derailed locos and cars lol
metal beam based vehicle ,,,,, game,,, very good,,, buy now,, support the devs
This is by far the most authentic gaming experience of working as a train driver. While the game doesn´t take itself too seriously, it offers plenty of real life "mechanics" in a way that fits a video game.
There is a learning curve that won´t scare you off and which makes it rewarding in the "long run". It is fun and challenging without being overwhelming or discouraging. Can be played for both mindless fun or for more serious approach.
I´m too lazy to write more, but trust an internet stranger - as much as it might not look like it, this game is the full package, the best you can find in the realm of railway simulation.
I feel like the VR component is abandoned. Performance is horrible, new features don't really work in VR, all the controls are super floaty and damped, which makes any sort of quick or precise changes really hard and overall experience is much, much better in non-VR mode. Very good train sim that also is an actual video game, but until VR mode gets in terms of performance and controls, this needs to be a negative review.
Regularly crashes in Steam VR with Meta Quest 3, whenever Steam menu is activated or I walk close to the edge of safe zone. I fell through world in regular mode. VR looks amazing but was unplayable for me at this game state.
Filling a niche in the genre of rail games I didn't know existed yet absolutely love, this title more or less has you as an independent contractor selecting jobs and driving trains to complete them. It's not the prettiest sim out there but the experience is highly immersive, the operation of the trains is realistically modeled, and the world provides lovely variety. Active dev constantly rolling out improvements. Well worth the price.
This is an excellent early access game, under active development!
First and foremost, don't let "Early Access" scare you; This is a highly polished game already, and its still under continuous development with huge features coming once or twice a year.
This game plays in mouse / keys or in VR, both modes spectacularly. The devs have been very diligent in bridging the gap between good VR play and good desktop play, masterfully done.
Derail Valley is just a fun simulation. The simulation goes very deep, and lets a new player ease into it pretty gracefully.
A solid addition to any train or simulation enthusiast, and a must have for VR sim enthusiasts.
I only have 30 or so hours in this game, but they flew by like nothing.
I was a bit hesitant to pay 40 dollars for this (when I don't have VR), but the 99 update came out just a couple of days after purchase, and I've enjoyed playing this as a form of relaxation. It's similar in many ways to truck simulator where you just transport good around for money, just with more emphasis on route planning, grades, rail switching yards, etc. as you might expect instread of driving down a road.
I've found it a good go-to game to relax, and have avoided any major derailments so far.
Would be nice if:
The insurance mechanics were made a bit more clear?
I have been playing with the multiplayer mod. It still has its quirks but this adds a whole new level to railroading as a hobby. The model railroads are great but this game is on a whole new level.
Crazy high level of detail in this simulation. Looks stunning and somehow makes freight trains fun not only to operate, but customise as well. Not to mention some planned (as well as current) modding support... when this game gets out of early access I think it may well overtake pretty much all the other train simulator games due to the depth of features and the possibilities that modding can enable. At time of writing there are a selection of diesel and steam locomotives, and the game is entirely freight focused - but passengers, as well as NPC/AI driven trains are on the roadmap. The updates also seem to have a crazy amount of content. For such a small indie team, these folks hit way above their weight. Like trains and simulation games? Buy this game! 10/10 you will not regret, even if you overheat your diesel transmission, derail at speed or make your train explode.
Ten years paying for a paper bag
Feedback, baby: it's a flippin' scam
There's a platinum edition goin' on sale here
Buying my trains for another year

The BEST train simulator on the market. Simrail comes second due to its lack of "Story".
My favorite train sim, maybe one of my favorite sims in general. They somehow nailed VR and non-VR for good interaction between player and in-game objects from the trains themselves to smaller objects like lanterns and console interfaces. Completing jobs is satisfying. Good customization from creative sandbox to realistic sim options. It all feels high quality and nicely polished. Great game.
The physics make everything feel like the Glacier Gulch scene from Polar Express and I love it
This game Is absolutly amazing. As a train fan this Is the best train sim game I've ever played. The simulation Is super realistic And it Is relatively easy to learn, but you will need to spend a lot of time in the valley to master the art of train driving. You can drive steam engines casualy And you will pull something with it but you will have to put a lot of training in to it to master them and pull maximum with them. It gets a bit repetetive after a while, but which game doesn't? But after B99 it got a lot of new thing to learn And locos to be found, wich solved a problem there was before, there wasnt a point of earning mony after you have unlocked all licencis. Now you can restore prototype locos that you found randomly scatered around the map (but they are always vissible from the track). If you don't feel like being carefull when making money, you can play in low difficulty, if you want a challenge you can play on the "realistic" difficulty, if you just want to do silly stuff, you can turn to sandbox where you can do anything, you can also Marie your custom difficulty if you want, the development studio cares about the game And they do envole community in updates And they do read And listen to feadback. The game Is beutiful, in graficks And sounds. There Are a few bugs, like in almoust every game in existence, but they aren't anything game breaking, there Is a sound bug where it playes the sounds Luke you Are indoors even though you Are only next ti the building, the brake pipe sometines dissaperes And some visual bugs like lights glitches, but nothing major. (May be fixed i last played the game like 2 weeks ago And don't have any means of playing it). Overall it Is a great game, with amazing simulation And it was Worth the 40€ Price. If you Are a train fan buy it, no question. If you Are not a train fan, you can give it a try if you like transportation And simulation. My rating 9.9/10 (sorry for spelling/gramatickal errors, english Is not my first language)
If you have any interest in trains, this is hands down the best train simulator I've ever seen. It's only 40 bucks? That's one tenth the cost of a model locomotive. The lighting is phenomenal, and matched in its quality by the sound design and physics. The game is less than 5 gigabytes and has great performance on my 3070ti and ryzen 9 with 32gb ram. The focus is put on the gameplay and details on the train models, but the environments are well thought out and engaging.
I find myself driving the starting locomotive, the DE-2, on a hauling job and just enjoying the sounds and scenery. Devs seem very active and passionate. I can't recommend hard enough.
It is simply a fantastic game a by dedicated developers that continuously have come with great updates and improvements of the game
Do you like trains? Excellent game mechanics? Awesome developers who are actively working with community?
This game is a no brainer, just buy it even if you never saw a train. 10/10
Great Train Sim Game. Is getting better with each update
After only 2 days of having it, I have 12 hours play time. If you are a railfan I strongly recommend this game.

CURATOR REVIEW
Altfuture's Derail Valley is THE train simulator when it comes to gameplay and physics. Every moment feels incredibly satisfying, packed with many unique features you won't find anywhere else.
[quote]Follow my curator page BE3dARt's Reviews: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38840989/[/quote]
TLDR : If you like or love trains, just buy the game. It doesn't get better than this, especially in VR.
Derail Valley is a game that started out feeling almost like a Tech Demo for Trains in VR. It started small but had good bones and ideas.
Fast forward to the end of 2024, and the game has grown so, so much and each update is just a labor of lover and devotion to both closer accuracy in how trains work and feel, as well as a game still that is deep but approachable by anyone who has a love for locomotives.
I continue to enjoy it every time I dive in and still can't fathom how no other train sim game has VR support like this gem. Pulling the steam whistle in VR is a young kids dream and being able to do it in VR is really dang close to the real thing.
I continue to look in anticipation at each update along the way as the game only continues to get better and better.
Altfuture does what Altfuture does.
Fantastic update, adding oodles of new content & replayability to an already fantastic game.
I would never thought that I would like a train sim. But, here we are, Beautiful and chill game.
Derail Valley is a very good game. Coming from someone who's never been interested in trains and never played a train sim before, this is high praise. Between customizable difficulties, well-simulated mechanisms and controls, and a map designed to balance plausibility and playability, there's a lot to love here.
Choo choo I guess...
It's nice having a much more hands-off train sim sort of game. You don't really feel railroaded into a specific playstyle (pun absolutely intended) and you can just kinda go about things in a way that best suits you. For example I really like diesel locos so I tend to gravitate towards those, whereas one of my friends loves steam locos so he uses those instead. There's also a strange amount of variety with things like shunting which adds some spice to the gameplay loop.
When I was a kid I had always wanted a model train set up with the diorama and all the good stuff. Well, This lets you have that. I really like you can do most things from 3rd person view. I do hope in time they add a little life to the world such as the occasional animal in the country side or some working railroad gates with bells and whistles, maybe some workers or cars in the distance going about their day.
Over all a High 8 or Low 9 out of ten 10 .
I have had (And returned) other railroad sims. This one is a keeper !
Absolutely amazing train sim! Would recommend this game to anyone who wants to learn trains or is a train aficionado! To the Dev team, great work!! Thank you for continuing to improve and add to your labour of love.
This game is great playing it seriously as a semi-realistic train simulator or just goofing around in sandbox sending trains exploding down cliffs. Something for everyone

I really like it. Steady progress, you can do it the hard way or the comfort way, no microtransactions, actively developed, enjoyable both in VR and not, easy to learn while still deep enough for you to stick around.
No multiplayer (yet? though there is a mod), single tracked, no overhead wires for pure electric (yet).
For people who enjoy the railroads and simulator, this does a really good job I think.
Physics make it shine above others
IMO, this is the finest train simulator to date, on par with Diesel Railcar Simulator... but with a different objective and style.
Values are over exagerated but at the aim of shortening the scale without removing the simulation aspect of it.
You'll have to keep in mind brakes temperatures or you'll lose brakes and therefore lose all the payload and perhaps the engine itself, along with power and wheel slip behavior.
Overheating brakes happens much quicker than in real life in order to keep the scale smaller while offering the same challenges. Really...you can't expect people to be hours on a freighter work schedule like irl...but here you'll get all the experience (or almost all of it) of hauling cargo and train management.
It simulates, coupling and uncoupling manualy in first person, shunting tasks (moving train carts inside a station to different positions and orientations), terrific lighting effects, many different cargos, support for stacking tasks/hauls to optimize each trip to different stations.... many things more.
If you want Steamers, there are some in this, but beware you gotta do a lot of stuff manually if you chose high level realism.
Best thing of this? : .... devs are active and love their game. It is not just a product but a work of art.
I've tried many others train sims, although I'm not obsessed with trains hence low amount of hours, but this one I feel like it is the one for a complete railway experience. Its scalling may turn a few folks off, but the pysics makes it up.
Also the career aspect pushes it above others. You'll start from zero and make your way up to higher licenses to haul different materials and train sizes, as well as more powerful engines.
It is been a while I've played it, but I took advantage of the Steam Awards task to write a review for a game I've nominated, and here it is.
It is already an instant classic. If you like railroad simulators, this is a must.
Great game with a great dev team that cares deeply about the quality of their product and the experience of the end user. The game may go a while between updates, but they seem to be committed to releasing a finished product instead of shoveling out content for the sake of content like some other games in the genre.
