Our take on Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator
The store emphasizes the dangerous journey and railway underworld, while the play also includes routine upkeep and survival management. The route spans about 840 km at 1:1 scale, so train operation is paired with monitoring supplies, health conditions, and locomotive parts.
What is Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator?
Drive a VL10 locomotive along an approximately 840 km railway route.
The game combines train operation with survival systems covering hunger, thirst, illness, hypothermia, alcohol, and hangovers. Monitor locomotive wear, replace components, follow railway signs and signals, and avoid derailments or damage. Earn money by transporting cargo, then buy food, tools, locomotive parts, and weapons. Hunting and combat are also available. Blizzards, fog, nighttime, and low temperatures affect the journey. Choose a legitimate train-driver career, a survival-focused mode, or work for the Soviet mafia. Controls and procedures can be simplified or made realistic.
