Publisher Nacon announced on August 5th, “Train Life – A Railway SimulatorAnnounced that early access distribution will start on August 31st. The supported platform is PC (Steam).
Train Life – A Railway Simulator is a train simulation game where you can experience both drivers and corporate executives. The goal is for players to hone their train driving skills, negotiate in transactions, build a railroad network, and grow a large corporate empire. In the train driving part, players will travel all over Europe with passengers and cargo. At the start of Early Access distribution, it is possible to travel to Germany using several types of trains. Each type of train has its own unique performance (horsepower, brakes, etc.). Understanding and mastering each characteristic is also a highlight of the driver’s skill. In the trailer, you can see the scene of operating a huge number of instruments from the first person perspective, and it seems that training will be required to master it.
In addition, “Train Life – A Railway Simulator” requires advanced playing based on the physical behavior of the real world. There are various points to be aware of while driving, such as observing railway signals and driving instructions, adapting to track switching, and speed management. When stopping at a station, you must pay attention to the braking distance and the opening and closing of doors for passengers. Also, sometimes troubles occur. It is necessary to deal with unexpected situations such as fallen trees, cars stuck on the railroad tracks, and other trains running on the same railroad tracks. In order to avoid accidents and damage to the tracks due to accidents, it is necessary to change the way of driving according to changes in the weather and switching between day and night.
In addition, in this work, there is also a part that manages as a corporate executive. Companies need to grow by optimizing personnel and freight transport. Decide on a name and logo, buy a train, hire a driver, sign a new contract and introduce a new route. In addition, it seems that even though it is an executive, it is necessary to go to the site and work. It seems that the car body may be maintained to prevent breakdowns, and repairs may be carried out in an emergency. It is up to the player to accept or reject the corporate contract. Make the right choices, increase sales and grow your company.
