Hypertrain

I bought this thing close to release, but never reviewed it. I came back to it recently for Reasons, and I got asked about it. So it's time to collect my rambling thoughts and put them to (figurative) paper. Some European developers have ambitious ideas and the execution doesn't quite match. This is one. I don't like "eurojank" as a title but this is kind of the poster child. What this is: There's a bunch of cities, most of which are connected by rail. You'll supply those cities with goods (and passengers) by train, buying more cars for your train as you go. First train to 50 cars wins! Easy as a concept. Except. Except the rail lines are insane. Imagine a rail-laying AI was hallucinating. There's corkscrews and loops everywhere. Segments are missing. And the trains can do several hundred km/hr easily. (The speedometer pegs at 2,000 km/hr.) Sure, you're travelling tens of kilometers a trip, but at these insane velocities it takes no time at all. Your gameplay is mostly weaving in and out of slower traffic, trying to avoid significant crashes. As the routes are several rail lines in parallel and you can skip between lines, it's more like a slot car than any meani…

A good game to relax after a stessful day at work

Look, it's a terrible game that is completely unbalanced. But I love it. Can I recommend it? No. Will I continue to play it? Absolutely. This is not a good game for what it was trying to do. But I enjoy building the dumbest tracks, even if traffic will randomly start spawning on my one way tracks and inevitably kill me.

I love it, I love the concept and the product is amazing I like most of his games tbh

Rare gem, needs polishing, but sooooo much potential. Please give it love

Seems like it would be an interesting game, visuals are nice and maps are pretty silly. Sadly it's marred by the devs knowing there is a graphics bug and missing options and seemingly don't care about it. Chaotic maps are nice, but camera doesn't work with you and sometimes just completely breaks so it floats away from the track.
