Steel Artery: Train City Builder

It need nore work , The Developer also promised to give more and intensively apologise for his early launch. but so far The game is good with environment and mecanics. Even though it need more work. It's still a worth it to buy. It's not buggy and npc actually work how it suppose to . The train also function accordingly. Here's my specifications where the dev should work: + Layers of train. like if the hight limit can be further extended in future game update. + Raids, as it a survival management game. it would give a different aspect to the game . + Npc manual work designation. it can give the player actively involve with game npc.

Nice concept but something is just wrong with the way resources are manufactured and distributed. It feels slow, tedious and bugged. You wait forever and still resources are often not registered or not delivered to where they are needed. The only thing that works well is actually building structures. Needs a lot of work.

Upon taking a look at Steel Artery: Train City Builder (SA: TCB) it felt like looking at Project Highrise. Create space, build within the space, maximize efficiency as much as possible. The more hours that I put into the game showed a different route. One of the main reasons why I bought this game is because of trains, and I love trains. In short, the game is a city-building game that requires the player to properly plan routes in order to acquire resources to keep the train running successfully (and all that that's within it)!  SA: TCB [b]gameplay[/b] is simple to start out with (provided with a nice tutorial) and gives the player generally a good amount of control over what happens with, on, and around the train. The primary goal is to keep the train functional, from being able to travel, to ensuring citizens are taken care of. The player can be given quests by Emperor to progress the story line and gain reputation points. Reputation points can be used to acquire materials from the Emperor in times of needs (or just times players feel like having a little extra). Building in the game is relatively simple and easy. The train requires a chassis to be built before placing structures. Structures also need to be supported by floor tiles, and those floor tiles require a frame underneath them and not blank space (no support). The game is quite finicky in its execution; a lot of confusing scenarios can happen given that the player doesn't properly troubleshoot the problem. Sometimes logistics, construction, or a potential bug may seem like the problem, but it could be very simply missing resources to build or a lack of workers. Research is also available in the game and gives the player a lot opportunity to keep the train running.  Although researching, refining, and extracting all seem awesome, there is a fine balance the game demands. This can be the amount of citizens needed (human, orc, or elves) for employment, it could be the social class (four in total, where the richest class doesn't even bother working), or it could be even finding citizens to let into the train to grow the population. The player interacts with a map in order to move the train. Different sections of the map provide different resources to be extracted. Coal of course is one of the main drivers of the game, but there will be other resources such as clean water, dirty water, iron ore, and others of the like that will help the player grow their train. Before structures are unlocked through the research tree, the player will need to extract resources around the map. To do this, extraction buildings must be unlocked and built. Though this all seems quite easy, this game does lean into being a more than average difficult game. Luckily, there are game modes that can be created to attempt to ease any major playthrough problems. The [b]controls[/b] are standard sort of RTS click, select, and keyboard shortcuts and camera movements.  The [b]visuals and graphics[/b] are pretty good, depending at what angle or sprite you're looking at. The map is a little rough looking, but does its job of being efficient and relaying information to player quickly. Animations seem pretty tight, especially for a pixelated-looking type game. There is a bit going on in the background and other parts of the game. There isn't really idle or background movement. For example players won't be seeing their population go on and off the train. I feel like this domain could use a bit more, even if it's just particle effects or some sort of shine. The [b]sounds and music[/b] are decently well done. Sounds seem to be associated with every sort of movement or action, though not overly annoying. There are other sounds (such as a the train departure horn) that actually have a purpose. Sounds like these are always a welcomed addition.  Overall, the game holds promise and seems to be created with passion. I tried out the demo and ended up buying the whole thing. The Dev released a statement a week after I bought it and felt like he should've released the game in Early Access. Probably would've been a good idea, but even on sale I felt the game was worth it (not well-worth it, but worth it). The fact the Dev is quite active and seems to working on regular updates gives us a promising story to tell about how a wonderful game was made. Gamers often know how these stories go sometimes, so as always, I encourage all readers - reading this review to do their homework (as always) and see if the game is something that would be up your alley. Decent game (which can sometimes be quite addicting), but I do hope it continues to receive updates. Needs something a little more to fully immerse the player.  [h1]RATING: 7.4/10[/h1] [table] [tr] [td]Gameplay[/td] [td]B-[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story / Campaign[/td] [td]B[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Visuals / User Interface[/td] [td]B[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Sounds / Music[/td] [td]B[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Replay-ability[/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Overall [/td] [td]B-[/td] [/tr] [/table]

I like trains

Разраб-псих. Сделать по отличной идеи игру, которую не один комп в мире не может вывезти, так как по мере строительства поезда игра дико тормозит на чем только угодно, так ещё отсутствуют базовые механики такие как торговля ну или нормальный интерфейс, который тоже лаганный (особенно там, где можно регулировать зп или цены на услуги).Квесты основные-лаганные, не засчитывают прогресс, если например ты это уже выполнил. Идея на 1000000, чего не скажешь про бюджет игры

To preface I really like this game, I think it is a great concept and really want it to succeed and can't wait to see updates moving forward. But there are some issues right now that need to be addressed to move forward. (which the dev already is working on) The game is really fun if you like logistical challenges and resource management. When I said challenge I meant it, this game in the beginning is hard you will reset your save probably more than once. The middle of the game is really fun and where I think it shines, you aren't struggling on resources and can really expand you can see very tangible progress. The art style and concept are great it's like (and I mean this in the best way possible) a studio ghibli world. The bad is currently the late game, I am running into several likely optimization related complaints, which the dev is working on the optimization. One issue is the panels displaying resources and population information simply aren't updating after a population of about 200, I need to fully reload the game every time I want to see updated information. Also other issues is related to the populations priorities, I believe the population does not prioritize satisfying needs while not working. This leads to really bad overall stats for your population when You can try literally everything to fix. For example, my populations need to use the bathroom is about 50%, my first solution is place more bathrooms, nothing happens, So I make them free just in case its a price thing, Nothing changes. When I inspected who was the worst off it was people who were working or about to start working. I also am noticing buildings like treasuries and cleaners are prioritizing tasks on the opposite side of the train rather than ones much closer. These I believe are why my population isn't going up which means no more expansion into late game. If you have tips to increase expansion I would really appreciate it. I've increased number of carriages, have done everything to satisfy population needs, Nothing is working! Overall I really like the game and hope it succeeds. I will continue to play it and eagerly await further updates!

Игру сначала доделай. И поменяй в стиме что игра раннем доступе. Отвечаю на твое сообщение. Потому что ты засранец взял с людей деньги! Развел людей на бабки и теперь ноешь что ты единтсвенный разраб и это твоя первая игра. Я поиграл в твою игру более чем достаточно, и выкладывать в таком виде да же как демо версию должно быть стыдно.

I hesitate to recommend this 100% as there are some bugs / issues and a UI that I find a bit bare bones, but this game scratches an itch for me and I have been really enjoying it! It is NOT an easy game, but I think there is something very satisfying about it and I hope the dev continues to fix it as he has stated. Probably pulled the 1.0 trigger a bit too early, but its still enjoyable and I am glad I got it.
