What players say

Players praise this Japanese-focused train sim as a refreshing alternative to expensive franchises, noting it already looks and runs great despite being early access. The scoring system and lifebar add urgency, and the difficulty can be dialed from casual to exacting. Some mention the interface is partly untranslated, and stations lack passengers.
