    An update has been released for HexTrains. This update adds support for DirectX 10 to the game. Some players experienced a strange problem when starting the game. This fix should also help these players so that they can enjoy the game. ːsteamhappyː

  • HexTrains - Update (Unlocking Levels) - 14 June 2018

    An update has been released for HexTrains. The threshold for unlocking the next group of levels has been reduced by a bit because it was definitely too high. You now always need to complete 70% of the level versions before the first level of the next group is unlocked.

  • Now Available on Steam - HexTrains - 12 June 2018

    HexTrains is now available on Steam! HexTrains mixes the classic tower defense with the puzzle genre. You need to destroy colored cargo containers that are transported by trains while building turrets that match the respective colors. Additionally you can manipulate switches to control the movement direction of the trains, which lets you guide the freight to the matching turrets. To make it easier to deal with the oncoming flood of trains you can also upgrade your turrets.

  • HexTrains - New Improvements - 12 June 2018

    A new update that contains improved leaderboard access has just been released for HexTrains. This update adds the option to use the internal leaderboard viewer instead of the Steam overlay.

  • HexTrains - Update (Leaderboards) - 8 June 2018

    An update has been released for HexTrains. A new function was added to the game. You can now access the Steam leaderboards for any unlocked map directly from within the level browser. This approach is much easier than finding and selecting one of the 139 existing leaderboards through your profile page. Have fun!

  • Fix for possible crashes at end of a game - 3 June 2018

    This patch fixes crashes that could occur at the end of a game when the online leaderboard is updated the score calculation dialog is displayed If any problems should still exist, please leave us a short message in the community hub. Due to the asynchronous nature of the online communication with the Steam leaderboards, it is not possible to cover all test cases.

  • Fix for problems on systems with multiple monitors - 3 June 2018

    This patch fixes a problem that could occur on systems with multiple monitors. In such a case it was possible that the game could not be loaded and the window would stay black. Thanks to the members from the community that brought this issue to our attention!

Short description

Tower defense with trains! Destroy colored cargo containers that are transported by trains while building turrets that match the respective colors.

About this game

HexTrains trains your brains with trains! HexTrains mixes the classic tower defense with the puzzle genre. You need to destroy colored cargo containers that are transported by trains while building turrets that match the respective colors. Additionally you can manipulate switches to control the movement direction of the trains, which lets you guide the freight to the matching turrets. To make it easier to deal with the oncoming flood of trains you can also upgrade your turrets. The game offers you 58 levels, each usually playable multiple times with different cargo and turret configurations. This currently results in a total of 139 unique, playable versions. These can all be unlocked by playing the game and no additional in-game purchases are necessary. Choose from 4 levels of difficulty to adjust the game speed to your needs. The difficulty level can be changed any time, but you need to keep the challenge high in order to be awarded with the most precious medals and achievements. The game's level browser provides you with easy access to all levels. Also your high scores and awarded medals are displayed there so that you have an overview of your performance for each each level / version so far. Since the game was initially developed for smaller screens, you can play HexTrains on a desktop monitor in windowed mode with resolutions including 1440x810, 1366x768, 1280x720 and 1136x640. If you get stuck on a map and need help, we offer you access to solution proposals for each map on our website.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.00
  • Highest observed: $0.00

HexTrains's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.00, the highest is $0.00, and the first visible tracked price is $0.00. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

HexTrains's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00. The latest run records $0.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.00
  • Current list price: $0.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records HexTrains at $0.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
