Train Fever Game Review | Train Simulation Games 2015

                                   

                     Train Fever is a simulation game released in July 2014. Train Fever is basically all about building a rail road empire starting from as early as 1850. The game time spans from 1850 to around 2014. But you can play as long as you want. This is just like the ANNO series or Tropico series. The game starts at year 1850 with one basic train. Of course the first train runs incredibly slow. The speed and capacity of trains increase along the time span as more powerful and spacious trains are unlocked.

                The technological development is nicely portrayed in the game. Electric trains replace coal and diesel powered trains as the game progresses. Electric trains are very fast and cheap. Well of course some trains are very costly to run. The fun of the game is finding the perfect train for the routes. Laying out the tracks and connecting cities through railroads are deeply satisfying. Once the trains on that route makes profits in millions, it is much more rewarding. Speaking of the game as a whole, the game lives up to its name “Train Fever”.

                                     

                                                               

                Although building tracks is fun, it can be annoying sometimes. The most tiresome procedure is replacing the old trains and road vehicles with new ones. Even though trains have much more lifespan than the road vehicles like trucks and buses, it is a difficult procedure to find the train and send it to depot for selling or replacing. As the game progresses the number of train routes and road routes increases and it can get annoying to find the lines from a vast number of lines. The developers of the game Train Fever has done a nice job to color code each line. So when you create a new line it might be in some random color which can help you identify that respective route very easily.

                We always like simulation games because they are deeply rewarding for the work we do in building up the cities or traffic and Train Fever absolutely stands up to fulfil you in that way. Watching the economic panel of train and road routes and those green colored profit amount is very fun.
