  While there are incredibly frustrating moments, Train Fever can be really enjoyable to play. There’s certainly a lot of potential for its future, and as the debut game from a five man team, some of the lack of polish can possibly be excused. ...All in all, Train Feaver has all the ingredients to be a great transport tycoon game, and with a few tweaks and additions, it can certainly become that.

  When you zoom close up there’s a surprising amount of detail I didn’t really expect from a small development team. Even though you aren’t guided to do anything, you’ll easily be kept busy on an ongoing basis, as there’s always new cargo to obtain, lines to create, and cities to connect. Even with the frustrating technical issues I’ve had with the game, I still find myself wanting to create some more transport lines.

  With that noted, it has to be said that there’s an awful lot to love here. It’s a smart simulation game with some really great use of modern horsepower atop the basic trappings of older games in a genre that sadly isn’t as active as it likely deserves to be. Just keep in mind you’ll need to go in with plenty of patience and a willingness to search outside the game if something obscure trips you up. If you can get past that, and you like a bit of simulation, you’re going to have a lot of fun.

  Train Fever, falls into the latter and, as the name suggests, is about trains. And buses. But more specifically, it’s about the tracks and roads that these systems rely on.

  Trotz aller Schwächen: Auf der Schiene gibt es momentan kaum ein Spiel, das mich so fasziniert wie Train Fever. Die unnachahmliche Modellbahn-Atmosphäre, verbunden mit dem süchtig machenden Zeitfresser-Spielprinzip, haben mich schon im Test viel länger vor den Bildschirm gefesselt, als ursprünglich geplant. ...Dennoch hat eine Urban Games eine solide Transportsimulation geschaffen, die mich sicher noch die eine oder andere Nacht wachhalten wird.

  Die Performance ist vielleicht das größte Problem von Train Fever. Zwar blieb das Spiel auch in über 50 Stunden Testzeit immer gut spielbar und hatte nur eine Handvoll Abstürze, aber die Simulation leidet unter regelmäßigen kurzen Rucklern, insbesondere in den Abrechnungszeiträumen und beim Autosave.
