About LOGistICAL: Japan
LOGistICAL: Japan is a large open-world, strategy, puzzle game where you transport different cargoes to complete all the towns throughout the islands.
Japan starts out with many tiny villages on the north island. Most only needing local supplies. Once you break into the main islands things escalate quickly with many huge cities and much larger trucks needed.
* Supply and finish many large cities
* Work your way through the long complex maze of road enhancements to finally allow all your large trucks access across the state
* Many, many other small and large puzzles and situations to complete.
LOGistICAL: Japan brings you all the fun and puzzling of LOGistICAL with even more towns, more puzzles and much more to do.
A big thanks to Marco (desangre) for mapping out all the Japan industries and providing ideas for Japan's gameplay.
THIS GAME DOES NOT REQUIRE THE ORIGINAL LOGISTICAL GAME TO PLAY.
Over 700 towns to Complete.
LOGistICAL: Japan game covers the islands of Japan including cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and many, many more.
There are many new obstacles and deliveries to make.
...
LOGistICAL: Japan is an independent, standalone game independent from the main LOGistICAL game (and other add-ons).
It has its own money, trucks and of course, challenges.

LOGistICAL is a large open-world, strategy, puzzle game where you transport different cargoes to complete all the towns throughout the country.
The whole game is a huge puzzle while each town is its own little piece of puzzling. There are over 1,000 towns to complete.
Plenty of towns are easy enough. Some take complex planning. Do them in your own order. Get bonuses for completing regions and contracts.
Some cargoes are easy to get. Others you have to create in industries. Use existing industries and build your own.
The further you get from the start the more strategies you have to use.
Pimp up your trucks with bonuses. Last truck delivering gets the bonus.
The towns and map are to scale. Current or historical industry placement. You could even say that playing is educational.
There is plenty more to keep you on your toes.
Towns consume the cargoes you are trying to get to completion.
Big trucks are great for moving lots of stuff, but can't travel everywhere.
There are lots of broken roads that need deliveries.
Upgrade the industries for better exponential throughput.
Cargo stores can sure come in handy.
What! I can't take my big trucks across the water on a ferry.
... and what is with those quarantine checkpoints?
Complete towns, roads, industries, contracts, regions and states for lots of in-game and Steam achievements.

Another of the great Logistical games, this one has it's share of challenges. You will have to work your way out of the starting area, and there are a few logistical challenges to overcome beyond that. In between, you will have to time your delieveries and make the most of your cash to be successful. 10/107 found this helpful
[b]This is a copy of my review for the [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/573060/LOGistICAL/]original game[/url]. Most of my time is going into that one. [i]For now[/i].[/b] There are few things new buyers should be aware of: [olist][*]This game is not in any shape or form similar to Transport Tycoon. You won't be optimizing routes, building long-lasting production chains, planning complex routes for dozens upon dozens vehicles, etc, etc. Instead you will be managing up to 15 not-so-smart trucks making sure they can fulfill demands of each and every town you find. Which can get a bit hectic. [*]This game is for patient people. You probably won't experience the real difficulty it can throw at you for a while (and by that I mean many hours of preparation and unlocking every tool the game can offer you) [*]Many reviews mention "having to overcome UI", well, it got much better. And it keeps improving. In all honesty, being late to the party, I haven't had much trouble with figuring it out. [*]This is not an achievement spam game. Each and any of the achievements require work. Sure, some are extremely easy, but some others are very hard.[/olist] As for the game itself, it's the m…6 found this helpful
LOGistICAL: Japan, developed and published by Sacada, is a sprawling logistics puzzle experience that disguises its depth behind a deceptively straightforward premise. Rather than presenting itself as a traditional management simulator filled with flashy visuals or guided objectives, it focuses almost entirely on the intricacies of supply chains across a detailed map of Japan. The result is a game that feels less like a business simulation and more like an enormous, interconnected puzzle where every action contributes to a larger web of dependencies. The central goal is simple on paper: deliver the required goods to each town until its demands are satisfied. In practice, however, this objective unfolds into a highly complex system where resources must be sourced, processed, and transported across vast distances. Many goods cannot be obtained directly and instead require multiple stages of production, each relying on other materials that must also be delivered from different locations. This creates a layered structure where solving one problem often introduces several new ones, pushing players to think several steps ahead at all times. It is a game that rewards planning and punishe…3 found this helpful
Start slow but pretty nice country. Personally I'd prefer to turn off japanese letters in town names (they're also in english so fear not).1 found this helpful
