About the Game
A-Train 9 Evolution is not just a simple port of A-Train 9. Artdink has redesigned the user interface and graphics to take advantage of modern hardware, while keeping the series’ core simulation depth.
The game lets players build and manage a railway network that connects cities, transports people, and gradually develops urban areas. As cities grow, new districts emerge, creating a dynamic and evolving metropolitan landscape.
New buildings, including greenery-covered and environmentally themed structures, have been added to reflect more modern city designs.
