Train Valley Console Edition Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl A quick story here to start things off. Stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this, and I’ll keep the details to a minimum. I was an exchange student to the Soviet Union (and then Russia) in 1990 and 1993. On those trips I took several train journeys across the country. These rail journeys allowed an awesome close-up view of the country outside of the major cities that visitors might not normally get, watching out the window as small villages slid past. It also terrified the hell out of me. I’m not a great traveler; I don’t like being in vehicles that I’m not actively operating. The trains in Russia terrified me, and though some of these trips were longer than 24 hours, I was completely unable to sleep the entire time. I keep picturing someone falling asleep at the switch, and our train careening head on with another on the same track, or sliding off a cliff in the middle of the night, or plowing into a cow on the snowy Russian countryside. My brain stayed on high alert the entire time, my adrenaline pumping away in anticipation of a disaster that never materialized. I’m sharing all of this because by playing Train Valley: Console Edition, I’ve determined that my fears were absolutely justified, and I am now convinced that indeed I was riding on the edge of death the entire time I was on the Russian rail system. Of course, that conviction isn’t exclusive to Russia – I now believe that all rail systems are complex beyond belief Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

rivaling air traffic control with the way total disasters are narrowly averted as a matter of routine. Train Valley – while it first appears to be a Sim-like management game – is actually more of an insidious and addictive puzzle game. In it, players are charged with moving trains between cities in beautifully designed settings modeled after real-world historic situations. Here’s how it works: Each map starts with two lonely cities on a map. The player must quickly lay down tracks between the two cities to move trains back and forth. But, with a train in City A and a train in City B, you can’t just shoot them down the same track unless you want to watch them ram each other head-on in an orgy of fire and death. So you need two tracks, which necessitates switches. Now you can move two trains between the cities simultaneously, so long as you carefully manage the switches to make sure the trains aren’t lurching towards each other. But then another city pops up on the map, leading to an exponential increase in complexity. Now instead of two possible routes to manage, you have six. And then another city appears. And another. And another. Trains start appearing in each city willy-nilly, wanting to make their way to other specific cities. Very quickly, the player ends up with routes inside routes, and switches galore. The entire Frankenstein system is completely of your own making, which leads to a lot of cursing at your past self for your own foolish decisions.

Occasionally clumsy controls

Oh, but wait – there’s more. Not only do you have to keep the trains moving between their various destinations on the insane spiderweb you’ve created, you also have to keep them moving on time. How can you keep the pressure on the player to get the trains moving? By making them worth depreciating amounts of money, of course. There is a simple but very persuasive economic system at work in Train Valley. Each bit of track you lay costs money – a thousand bucks per tile for standard track, far more for tiles that displace existing structures. Plow over a farm with your train track, and you are suddenly paying $30,000 per tile. Run out of cash, and you aren’t laying any more track until you put more dollars in the bank. This is done, of course, by moving trains around. Each train appears with a set dollar amount, which immediately starts decreasing as the train sits waiting to leave the station. Get the train to the correct station, and you add the current dollar amount to your bank total. Dork around too long, and that train is going to be worth much less, so it is in your best interest to keep the trains moving in an expedient manner. And that’s the basic concept of the game – lay the tracks, move the trains, earn the cash. As the game moves forward, clever new obstacles appear to challenge the player to think out of the box; the first time the game tossed a river into the mix KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE

I was completely thrown for a loop. Each level takes about twenty minutes to get through if you don’t screw everything up and start over again, which I frequently did. Levels have three goals, stuff like “Earn $50,000” or “Move 6 extra trains”. You have to achieve at least one of these goals to move onto the next level, but obsessives like myself will want to replay each level until the get a perfect score. The funny thing about Train Valley is the way that it gently puts pressure on the player to keep things moving. You can pause the game at any time to lay track and throw switches, which would lead one to believe that collisions would never occur, since the player can take all the time in the world to make decisions and execute on them. But Train Valley still finds ways to tempt the player into making bad choices. By dangling several trains in front of the player at once, the game teases the player into trying to do too much at once. One forgotten switch and it’s all over. Fire and death (and loss of profit) come quickly and inevitably. The worst moments occur when you have made an error, and you have to sit and watch your trains barrel towards each other on the same track, knowing that it was completely your fault. My only grievance about Train Valley stems from the controls. The game has been ported to Switch from the PC, and I think the game has taken a bit of a hit in the conversion.

Crashing and hectic action

The graphics are just as lovely as they are on Steam, but this is a game that cries out to be played with a mouse. I eventually learned to click through the various menus that I needed on the Pro Controller (the game is a bit too complex for my old man eyes to be able to play it in handheld mode), but I still wished I had a mouse to quickly zero in on the switch I wanted to throw instead of clicking through them one at a time on a controller. With a mouse I could have probably performed a bit better on the fly; the controller had me pausing a lot to execute some of the more fiddly moves. But still, that’s the cost that console players must pay to play this unique puzzler. While the controls are a little clunky, I can’t really think of a better way to implement them on a controller. The rewards this game delivers far outweigh the half hour or so it takes to get accustomed to the unique control scheme. Train Valley: Console Edition delivers hours and hours of satisfying, brain-teasing fun. This feels like one of those games that I’m going to return to in the coming years, as it has taken up residence in my brain and shows no signs of leaving. Pity the poor people that ride my digital trains though. If they are laying there wide awake in the middle of the night, it is for good reason. I have been known to fall asleep at the switch.

Train Valley is a railroad-themed puzzle/strategy game, originally released on Steam in 2015 but making its way to Switch (and other consoles) in 2022. You are tasked with building an optimal railroad network between different predetermined cities. Trains pop up at these cities and then need to be sent through your network to their destination city by controlling switches and telling the trains when to stop and go. Getting in your way is the in-game cost of creating track as well as the timing dilemma of avoiding train crashes. Overall, this feels similar to similar railroad train-routing puzzle games, like Conduct Together, but with the added bonus of being able to control the track layout yourself. The game has two general types of play in Classic and Sandbox. In Classic mode, you work through five different maps through five different seasons: Europe (1830–1980), America (1840–1960), USSR (1880–1980), Japan (1900–2020), and Germany (1830-2020). Each map has specific objectives you need to beat before the next map opens up to you. Each season also has a sixth randomly generated map for a distinct challenge. Most maps have three objectives, varying from earning a certain amount of money to not crashing any trains or paying under a certain amount to place track, while also playing under a 5-10 minute time limit and not running out of money.

Planning, and many tasks

In Sandbox mode, you can build tracks to your heart’s content, without worrying about money or time, but you still need to deliver the trains to their destinations. You start every map with two or three stations in place, each with a different color-coded symbol above them. When a train generates at that station, it shows up with a colored icon above it for its destination station. You then build tracks between its origin station and its destination station. Take too long doing this and the train will dispatch, causing havoc on the railroad. Rinse and repeat at an escalating scale. The networks you make ultimately will be how you succeed, so it’s integral to have a plan for the general traffic flow. In Classic mode, you have a starting budget for each scenario, gaining more money by delivering trains correctly. The value of each train drops the longer you take, incentivizing quick thinking. Things get more complicated as you try to build track over difficult terrain, demolish obstacles, and optimize your track. As you progress through the ages, the trains go from old steam locomotives to diesel and electric trains, getting faster and pulling more cars, adding more variables to layout and how to properly set up stretches where trains pass each other. It was a fun coincidence that when playing this game, I was coming up against similar issues while designing and building my model railroad in the attic! Knockout City Switch NSP

For controls, it uses the L and R buttons to toggle between five different modes: Junction, Track Build, Demolish, Dispatch, and Train. When in a mode, you can use the left control stick to select what you want to interact with. In Junction mode for instance, you jump between all the different junctions, which is how you control the ways the train goes through the switch; in Track mode, you use the control stick to move along the track and select where to build out from. This theme goes on to the other modes, so it can become difficult to keep track (heh, a pun) of what mode you are in when controlling multiple trains. One thing that helped me immensely was discovering you can interact with everything when you pause, so you can use that downtime to line up your switches, then dispatch your train without having the total chaos of a game like Conduct Together. It still feels a bit clunky but when you have time to plan things out with the pause button, it becomes much easier. One thing I wish the game did better was the tutorial. It worked well for basic track laying and train operation, but it glossed over some things that would be useful to know. These things include (but aren’t limited to) being able to use the pause button to plan out routes, that there is a gauge in the lower right corner that shows when the next train will generate, and where the time clock is (there is a bar that goes from left to right under the date).

I didn’t even figure out that last one until I was writing the review; there were just a few times that the game ended and I was confused why. The visuals are a bit basic, with an unmoving, almost top-down view, but it works in context of the game. The locomotives seem to be inspired by real locomotives, but are fairly generic. They fit with their region, which adds an element of historical accuracy even if it isn’t as refined and detailed. Train Valley is a fun train-routing puzzle game with a dash of strategy thrown in courtesy of the ability to construct your own rail network. It feels like a mashup of Conduct Together with the train routing of something like Mini Metro, where you are constantly connecting stations together and finding the optimal routes. The addition of the pause mechanic makes the game much more relaxing and less hectic, and is great to get a short train-puzzle fix. The more in-depth economic railroad simulations might be my ideal speed, but this was a fun break from them and I enjoyed my ride through Train Valley. I know it’s a little geeky, but playing with trains is pretty cool. Now, I’ve loved this theme in gaming ever since the original Railroad Tycoon. However, these days, I don’t have the time or patience to micromanage a whole railway. Yet, I still want to play something that will scratch that itch. This is where Train Valley: Console Edition comes into play.
