Sadly, there’s not much you can do in Modern Indian Train Simulator since it doesn’t have additional game modes—like a free drive mode—to keep you hooked. The
graphics are mediocre
, too, not to mention the infuriating advertisements that frequently play on the screen.
A straightforward simulator
Fun and immersive,
train simulators
allow you to operate a virtual
train
without going through all the trouble of driving one in real life and facing the risks associated with being a train operator—including fatigue and human-caused accidents. One simulator you must try is Modern Indian Train Simulator, which consists of 15 levels. The
first few levels
help you get acquainted with the
controls and mechanics
.
In the first level, for example, your objective is to pass through a barrier whereas the second one lets you transport passengers to the first stop. Regardless of your current progress, do be careful of barriers along the tracks as hitting will result in a
game
over and you would have to restart the level. You can avoid this by
watching out for on-screen prompts
and “
Reduce Speed” signboards
.
For the controls, tap and hold the
throttle
on the right side of the screen
upwards to increase your train’s speed.
Then, move the throttle
downwards to gradually decrease its speed
. Your current and top speeds are displayed in the upper right corner, so you know if you’re driving too fast. You can even blow your train’s horn by touching the trumpet icon—that is, if you want more immersion.
Too short
While Indian Train Simulator is free, it doesn’t have additional content for you to play after finishing all 15 levels—making it boring. Hence, a free drive mode would be a great addition to keep players engaged. The game’s art is bad and needs improvement. On-screen advertisements are a nuisance, too, since they appear frequently. If you don’t mind the app’s flaws, then go ahead and try it.
