Loco Mania Demo

As you might be aware, the railway has been around for quite some time now, which means that there are thousands of miles of tracks out there and just as many trains on top of them. What you may not know, however, is that certain people must make sure that each and every one of these trains has its own route and it does not interfere with the schedule of any other lines.

Loco Mania is a simulator that puts you in charge of this job and allows you to coordinate and keep an eye on every route that runs on a particular railway, in order to synchronize and assure the safe arrival for each train. Moreover, you also get the chance to admire a lot of real locomotive models in the meantime, as well as freely roam the map and see your plan in action.

To start off with, there are multiple game modes available, all of which test your ability to perform certain tasks in the most efficient manner. Thus, whether you just want to play in free mode and take care of the railroad for as long as you wish, or you want to see how quickly you can organize yourself in the time attack mode, the game features a wide number of choices in this regard.

Once you are inside the game, the perspective you choose is left up to your preferences, depending on how you are most comfortable. Thus, whether you want to keep an eye on the entire railway from up in the sky, or stay as close as possible to the trains, the camera can be manually adjusted and set up to fit your requirements, by using the zoom, pan and rotate functions.

Since the train engines and the carts themselves are designed in order to emulate real models, the graphic engine is powerful enough to allow that and it also includes high-resolution textures and dynamic weather conditions. The landscapes are created after locations from Europe, although they do features far less buildings and more vegetation, to keep the frame rate up.

Loco Mania has the unique ability to quickly get you under its spell, thanks to the many game modes and the freedom it offers you. Whether you enjoy trains or not, you certainly learn to respect those who are in charge of coordinating them, since things can get pretty chaotic after just a few minutes of game time.
