If you enjoy tough indie games that pose arcade-like challenges with a simulation twist then here's the impressively fun Train Valley.
Train Valley is a puzzle simulation game published by BlitWorks. The game is simple; you build railroad tracks and control them. Do your best not to crash anyth
Train Valley is a fun train-routing puzzle game with a dash of strategy thrown in courtesy of the ability to construct your own rail network. It feels like a mashup of Conduct Together with the train routing of something like Mini Metro, where you are constantly connecting stations together and finding the optimal routes. The addition of the pause mechanic makes the game much more relaxing and less hectic, and is great to get a short train-puzzle fix. The more in-depth economic railroad simulations might be my ideal speed, but this was a fun break from them and I enjoyed my ride through Train…
Train valley is a small, but at times hard puzzle game, in which you need to send trains to the correct stations, but try not to crash them into eachother. All aboard!
The game feels like kit-bashed mechanics wrapped in clean and inoffensive modelling and UI design. The core design of the game is pleasant enough, but it is not accompanied by interesting creative tools or mechanical challenges. I like the idea of placing players in different eras and locations, giving them unique tools appropriate to the setting, and seeing what they can do, but at the moment there is just not the depth of play in Train Valley to support that idea.
For the price of £6.99/$9.99 there’s a decent amount of content to be found here, even if there are aspects of the game that could have gone further to add more depth. As I said in my preview, most people either love or hate traffic management games, but there’s always the free demo to try out if you’re not sure if it’s for you. The gameplay is the real winner in Train Valley, as it manages to be both frustrating and addictive, but also incredibly rewarding once you finally complete the mission with all the objectives.
