must be avoided if the transportation system is going to truly
work for the people!

experiences, so when we got the opportunity to bring A-Train:
City Simulator to 3DS gamers, we were totally on board!" said

about trains. It is a complete transportation and city
simulation experience with very in-depth gameplay and attention
to detail which Artdink is well known for."
As the new head of transportation, players will see real results
of their work. They can build new buildings to support
additional growth for bus routes and subway services, export
goods to make money, and even build an airport! As time passes
in-game, players will have the option to upgrade their
technology, moving from steam-powered trains to high-powered
electric ones!

choose with a panoramic sweep, or set new goals with a map
editor that gives players all the tools needed to craft new
scenarios. With hours and hours of variable storylines, fans
will find a deep depth of gameplay that's sure to keep them
coming back for more!
