You start at the head of an incredibly small transport company that can pave the way to neighboring cities, and transport residents and cargo in small quantities. You are also given a map that you need to explore, paving new ways to create an empire! In order to competently and clearly follow the laws of business, you will have to develop all areas at once: paving the way, building stations, buying equipment, advertising campaign. The laid paths will be constructed in a simple or complex way. For example, you can pave the route from one station to another, or you can add intersections and traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and intersecting routes. Your transport will improve depending on use, but sooner or later its professional suitability will end, and you will have to spend a lot on new funds. Do not forget to update! The game offers you to switch between three modes: management, strategy in isometric space and a first-person view from the driver’s carriage. The latter is supplemented by various graphic effects.
Mashinky is a business manager of passenger and freight transportation, created by Czech developers. Among its features are improved graphics and their high realism, procedurally generated locations with various, as well as transitions from one era to another – from steam engines to electric trains. Each launch of the game offers a new location, with its own set of objects, slopes and mountains. The player develops his transport system – from short routes to a whole network of messages, with stations, stops and routes. The more diverse they are, the greater the benefit: the money earned can be spent on improving transport and infrastructure. The project received modern graphics, and the ability to observe the process from any angle, including from a train carriage. All units, buildings and landscapes are drawn in great detail and high quality, making the image look very realistic. It is also worth noting the excellent soundtrack, which harmoniously fits into the format of a railway simulator.
There is also a version for online play (on pirated copies). See below.
