What players say
Players compare it to Mini Metro but note the tracks are pre-laid instead of player-drawn. The core challenge is routing passenger trains without crashing into freight trains. Some find it too easy and repetitive across the 20 maps, while others enjoy the real station names and simple mouse-only controls. Development responsiveness is praised, though some wish for a map editor.
