❤ Track Placement and Routing

The core of the gameplay revolves around strategically laying down tracks and managing train routes to meet the objectives of each level. Players cannot simply cross or intersect tracks, as routes must be laid out in a single, continuous direction. This adds a puzzle-like element, as players must carefully plan the placement of their rail network to connect stations without any intersections. Determining the most efficient routes for transporting passengers and cargo is a critical part of the challenge.

❤ Game Modes

The game offers four distinct game modes that provide variety and different challenges. In the Campaign mode, players must transport a certain amount of passengers and cargo within a time limit, with new stations opening up over the course of the level, requiring adaptable planning. The Survival mode tasks players with maintaining a balanced network and preventing stations from becoming overcrowded or overloaded, requiring wise resource management. The Evacuation mode challenges players to evacuate all citizens to a specific station within a short time frame, prioritizing passenger transport over cargo. The Relaxation mode allows players to build their railway network without any objectives or time constraints, providing a more leisurely experience.

❤ Train Management

In addition to track placement, players must also manage their train fleet effectively. The game features 25 different locomotives and 38 wagons, each with their own characteristics such as pull strength, weight, and maximum speed. Choosing the right combination of trains for each route is crucial to achieving optimal efficiency.

❤ Progression and Replayability

As players progress through the campaign, they can unlock new cities and permanent upgrades to improve their railway network. The ability to replay levels in different game modes adds to the game's replayability, as players can experiment with various strategies to achieve the best results.
