Prepare Valley is a puzzle simulation recreation printed by BlitWorks. The sport is easy; you construct railroad tracks and management them. Do your finest to not crash something, and you have to be advantageous. In simulation video games, this one is fairly strong.
Prepare Valley duties gamers with controlling numerous practice stations. Construct tracks from one station to a different, overlapping them if want be. When prepared, you may depart trains from one station, enable them to go, then let the following practice go. In fact, should you take too lengthy, the trains will depart independently. This will change into a multitude should you don’t heed the tracks’ instructions.
You possibly can management the instructions of the tracks, however it’s important to sustain with them. In any other case, it’s far too straightforward for trains to collide and crash (I do know this from expertise). Actually, that’s the primary level of the gameplay; construct tracks and watch the trains as they transfer alongside the path, holding them out of hurt’s method from different trains.
Fortunately, there’s a handy-dandy pause button. If two trains are transferring and you might want to cease and take into consideration who ought to go first, hit pause. This was a lifesaver for me many instances. Prepare Valley is greater than a simulation recreation—it’s a puzzler. How will you optimize your practice tracks, and which trains must you enable to go away the station first?
You additionally must handle your funds. Laying tracks prices cash. Making use of tracks on buildings or forests prices additional as a result of they have to be demolished earlier than the monitor is laid. Additionally, if trains crash, they’ll destroy the world round them, together with the tracks. So, you might want to pay for cleanup and lay tracks down once more. In the event you run out of cash, the extent ends and it’s important to begin over.
How do you earn money? By permitting the trains to reach on the appropriate station and departing on time. The longer a practice takes, the much less cash it makes. Every practice is assigned a colour—crimson, blue, inexperienced, or yellow—and so are the stations. So, when a crimson practice departs, you might want to ship it to the crimson station. If a practice goes the incorrect method and results in the incorrect station, you gained’t earn money on that practice.
There are 5 “seasons” to play by in Prepare Valley. First is Europe from 1830 to 1980. Nonetheless, there’s not a lot of a narrative aspect to the sport. The key variations are the landscaping; extra gadgets get added as you play alongside. For instance, there are different trains, totally different stations, bridges, and extra.
The sport is positioned from a top-down view, which works. There isn’t a lot to see apart from easy methods to get from one station to the opposite simply and shortly. The controls are clean and simple to be taught, as properly. For an added problem, every degree has targets. They’re not wanted to finish the extent, however they’re enjoyable to try for.
Prepare Valley is a enjoyable puzzler and stress-free simulation recreation. Each degree is identical, and I may solely deal with it briefly bursts. Nonetheless, I loved my time with it and see myself returning for extra. It is a welcome boost for simulation followers.
