In 1985, the Japanese studio Artdink released its railway-themed economic strategy titled A-Train. This game initiated a series that the team behind it continued to develop over the following years. Over time, in addition to the main numbered parts, the series also saw a number of spin-off titles. Among them is A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism.

Gameplay

In A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism the action is viewed from a bird's-eye perspective. As the title suggests, this time our activities focus primarily on tourism. The goal here is to use tourism as a driving force for the development of both our company and the entire city.

Building a railway network

We create our railway network from scratch or build upon existing lines, which we gradually expand. The game allows us to design and construct stations, as well as lay tracks according to our preferences. The key to success is constructing the entire system in such a way as to ensure maximum capacity.

Developing tourism

The latter becomes increasingly important as our city becomes more popular among visitors. The city features a range of tourist attractions, such as hot springs and historic buildings. We should extend our railway line to these attractions to fully exploit their potential.

If, for some reason, we are unable to bring the tracks to a specific location, we can opt for alternative transport, such as buses or ferries.

City and company development

The measure of the effectiveness of our actions is the increasing indicators of urbanization and the wealth of our account. To make the most of local tourism and maintain a positive company image, it is worth paying some attention to issues other than transport, primarily promoting the services we provide or decorating the surroundings.

These latter issues can be entrusted to our subsidiaries. If we have trouble making a decision, we can rely on support from our assistants.

Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
