Here comes the train

You have heard of car, truck, and bus simulators so it is about time you get acquainted with trains! The Indian Train Simulator 2017 is a game developed by Tap – Free Games that lets you experience how to become a train engine driver.

On the tracks

You would think that driving a train would be easy since it only has to stay on the tracks. In Indian Train Simulator, you will find out that it is actually not that simple. You will have to control how fast the train is going to travel because you need to abide by the speed limit. Going too fast may lead to grave consequences. For instance, speeding up will make it very hard to suddenly slow down when you need to. Situations that call for such action include nearing a train stop or a railway intersection. It would be really nasty if you fail to stop on time and collide with another train! It is going to be a huge disaster and you would not like that to happen. 

The game will also give warnings and alerts for when you have to reduce your speed. There are also stop lights along the tracks so you have to look out for them. Your main goal here is to be able to drive the train from one station to another safely. There are four different stages you can play and each one has a challenge of its own. Abiding by the traffic signals and warnings is one those. Other challenges include being able to brave past bad weather conditions and transporting goods or people. Keep in mind that in order to pass the level you will have to drive safely from one station to another.

Realistic graphics and controls

Everything in this game is realistic. Each train has a unique design according to its type. The background and other game elements are also very impressive. As you drive along the tracks you will be given the chance to admire beautiful sceneries. The routes you will be driving at are actually very famous train tracks in India, which means that the train stations are also based on real life. Some of the stations you will encounter are Chennai, Mumbai, and Surat. Somehow, you are given a sneak peek of some of India’s finest places through this game,

The game controls may seem a little complicated at first but once you are able to familiarize yourself with them, you will realize that the controls are not actually that hard to master. Some of them are for turning on the headlights and cabin lights. The main switch you should pay attention to is the acceleration and brake sliders at the side of your screen. This is what you would use to control the train’s speed.

Best train simulator

I can confidently say that this is one of the best train simulators I have played. The graphics and realistic environment makes the game fun and interesting to play. It is also very relaxing because of its simple gameplay.
