Islands & Trains is a premium simulation game for PC by developer Akos Makovics. In this chill and relaxing city-builder, wherein players can experience building on an island without restrictions. They create towns from scratch, small forest greenery populated with all kinds of wildlife, and lay down railway tracks.

Drawing inspiration from modern contemporaries like Dorfromantik and Townscraper, Islands & Trains aims to offer a cozy and relaxing building experience while still engaging players to get creative. Everything is complemented by a charming art style that is a combination of low-poly environments with detailed models and fixtures.

Island life and trains 

As its name suggests, Islands & Trains is a sandbox builder that revolves around islands and trains. You'll start with a small patch of land in the middle of the sea that you can do with whatever you want. Build a quaint little town surrounded by trees, crops, and wildlife to create a pleasant scenery.

The other aspect of the building experience is laying down railway tracks to facilitate train travel. Build bridges to connect multiple towns or establish a complex network of trains to make traveling faster. You can play it safe by designing something simple, or be more creative and go for perilous mountain passes to intertwining twists and turns more akin to a rollercoaster ride.

Let your creativity run wild

To fuel your creativity, the game offers over 400 tile types to play around with and come up with all kinds of layouts and designs. Recent updates have also introduced additional assets to inspire you to build, various bug fixes and feature drops based on player feedback, as well as more achievements to keep you going with something to accomplish.

What's more, there is now a new undo feature, something that many players have been requesting for a while and will be glad to see added. This small but appreciated inclusion makes the whole building process much simpler, so players can experiment without worrying about mistakes. As hinted earlier, the whole experience is meant to be as free-flowing as possible, letting you enjoy playing at your own pace.

Calming building experience 

In conclusion, Islands & Trains is a game for building simulator fans who want something more casual and relaxing to play that is not too complicated and be enjoyed at their own pace. The visuals are charming and the building experience is nice and simple to grasp. Give it a try and experience it for yourself.
