About
- Build railroads in order to connect cities, tunnels and bridges. New railways are cheap when laid across bare fields, but can be expensive when demolishing forests, villages and other existing structures.
- Manage increasing traffic by constructing, switches, sidings and spurs so that multiple trains can run without delays, at the same time.
- Stay accident-free by precisely controlling trains during crucial moments, using pause for planning (you can build railways and schedule trains while on pause).
- Play through 4 seasons: Europe (1830–1980), America (1840–1960), USSR (1880–1980) and Japan (1900–2020).
- Complete the story mode featuring such real-life events as the Gold Rush of 1849, the construction of the Florida Overseas Railroad, World War II, the Cold War, the launch of the first manned space flight Vostok 1 and more.
- Explore the game in different game modes: in story mode (5-10 minutes), in random mode (15-20 minutes – the level looks and develops differently every time you launch) or in sandbox-like regime (can be turned on for both story and random modes. It allows to play without time and money limits).
- Discover 15 types of trains – from early steam-powered locomotives to modern high-speed trains, driving 18 types of cars – from old-time passenger cars to hoppers and cisterns and to military-use tank and gun platforms.

Very nice puzzle game for the Casual Gamble. Train Valley is not a railway simulator, but you have to lay Rails and set Course on different Maps so that Trains reach their Destination Station. There are three expert goals per level that add a little more Spice to the Whole thing. The Graphics and Music fit well, the Degree of difficulty varies between simple to more or less challenging. Unfortunately, it never really gets any real difficult. There are a total of four "Worlds," each with six Levels. With Add-On, one More world. The Game time is likely to be a little longer than after almost 16 Hours you are through with Train Valley. The Achievements only marginally increase the Replay Value. The only Criticism is the lack of undo function, so misplaced Rails must be torn down directly. On the Whole, I like the Game very much and is definitely worth its Price. I eagerly await Train Valley 2.

Review Train Valley Train Valley is a Puzzle game where you connect different Stations, start Trains and set Tracks.
Gameplay In Train Valley, you take Control of a Rail Network. That means setting up and Operating. You can try out different Routes to transport several Trains to the relevant Stations at the same time and as quickly as possible. As soon as you send the Trains off, you are faced with the Challenge of switching the Course right. You also have to pay attention to your Money and avoid Clashes. So Far, so fun. Disasters or other surprising Events unfortunately do not exist. Train Valley plays quite similarly from the first level to the last. The Tunnels and Bridges, which also appear far too late in the Levels and like to destroy my well-planned rail Network, can not change this.
Difficulty/Claim Challenger, just the later Levels. There Are no different Levels of difficulty. However, each Level offers three-quite severe-optional goals.
Presentation As you build your Rail Network, you move from Epoch to Epoch. The Shop page advertises "The Player experiences the Gold Rush of 1849 and a few Years later the first manned flight into Space." Sounds cooler than it is, though. The Graphics are very simple and boring-unlike the lovingly designed Main Menu. But this hardly bothers, it is (almost) always played in a Bird's Eye view. The Soundtrack is Lace.
Control Works flawlessly with Mouse and Keyboard.
Scope In Total, there are 24 Levels. And there are Achievements. But That was it. Train Valley offers a little too little Content. After about seven Hours I had played through all the Levels once. Apart from the optional Goals, there is then nothing left to do. The Endless game is not worth mentioning. It is terribly boring, pointless and at most serves as a Training for the Levels.
Price Okayes Value for money. There are six extra Levels for £2.49.
Verdict Train Valley is a really fun Puzzle. I find it a clear Buy recommendation!
