4.0/5

Subways can be found under almost every big city, since it is quite a cheap and effective way to avoid pollution, traffic jams and overcrowding the streets. However, that certainly doesn't mean it is neither cheap nor easy to build the infrastructure required for the metros to run throughout the city. Actually, a lot of careful planning and calculations are in order, which is why they take so long to build.

Mini Metro is a minimalistic video game that allows you to see for yourself if you've got what it takes to build a subway network from scratch, by connecting the stations together in the order they appear and using a variety of different lines, locomotives and carriages to achieve efficiency. The gameplay is quite unforgiving, on the other hand, since the game over screen is liable to flash in a matter of minutes, if you do not take the job seriously.

To start off with, you usually have to connect two stations together and watch the people get from one to the other safely. As time goes by, however, more and more stations appear on the city map, some of which are rather far away, or they are on the other side of a river. Hence, in order to properly connect them together and make sure that everyone is able to travel all around the city, you must pay attention to each connection you make.

To make it easier for you to differentiate between the lines you use, they come in a variety of colors and they end up becoming quite artsy toward the end, when the network seems to form some kind of abstract painting. Regardless of how pretty it looks, on the other hand, you still need to pay attention to how many stops each station can support, otherwise all the beauty is for nothing.

Every week, the game also provides you with a bonus, as a reward for being able to survive that long. These rewards come in the form of various power-ups, such as double lines, bigger carriages and many other such useful gifts that can ease your pain for another in-game week. Obviously, it becomes increasingly more difficult to survive until the week-end, although it all depends on your planning abilities in the end.

Although it may not be finished and there are some issues that need be addressed, Mini Metro is already very addictive and incredible entertaining. What with all the promised new features the full game should encompass, the game is going to be difficult to put down.

What's new in Mini Metro Alpha 12:

  • Standalone builds have fullscreen support, and support for different window sizes. Resizing mid-game is not supported yet.
  • A overcrowded station will be automatically upgraded to an interchange if one is available when it times out.
  • To increase visibility, the station expiry timer now begins empty and fills up, rather than beginning full and emptying.
  • The late game difficulty has been increased to prevent infinite games.
