New Port: Railway Empire 2 for Mac
And after the first release, why not release the successor of the series?! Railway Empire 2 for Mac! I played it for a while, and it’s quite fun. Railway Empire 2 features bigger, more detailed and lively maps than ever before. The whole of the US and continental Europe are covered in two huge, sprawling maps, whilst more detailed maps put the focus on specific regions of each continent. Improved track construction helps you focus on the important decisions as you drive the economy and help the growth of the cities. Signals are placed automatically, bridges can hold up to 4 tracks and the expandable train stations can now have up to 8 tracks.
About the Port:
The game is based on D3DMetal so it it only works on Apple Silicon Macs, when you at least are on Mac OS 12 Monterey or higher (will be working from Mac OS 10.15.4 and higher soon). Tested the game on my M1 Apple Silicon Macbook Pro and works nicely.
This game requires at least Porting Kit 6.7.0! While the update mechanism isn’t working properly at the moment, download the latest version from the Porting Kit website here…
