7 itemsAbout the Game
Take the controls of real JR-West trains in this authentic railway driving game, Approved by West Japan Railway Company.
■ The exhilaration of the Special Rapid Service
Drive the famous Special Rapid Service non-stop from the very first station of the Keishin Line all the way to the terminus. On quadruple-track sections, pass local trains one after another for a rush of speed only this train can deliver. Direct Rapid and local services are fully drivable too.
■ Every line, every section, both directions
Three fictional lines inspired by the region — the Ohan East Line, Ohan West Line, and Keishin Line — with every section drivable in both directions. A single scenario can run over 40 minutes, and completing the game takes more than 40 hours. A massive amount of track that rewards every hour you put in.
■ Drivable trains
Drive the 221, 223, 207, and 321 Series, plus the 227 Series appearing as a special test-run train.
■ A series first: the driving score system
Your accuracy behind the controls — departing on time, passing stations on schedule, keeping to speed limits, stopping precisely at the mark — is rated as a score, so you can feel yourself improving with every run.
■ Boost your score with your card deck
Set cards in your deck before each run. Meet the scoring conditions to earn bonus points based on each card's multiplier.
The cards feature a spectacular lineup of 14 train series, including limited express trains: the 223, 221, 321, 207, 227, 287, 283, 289, 281, 271, 683, 225, 115, and 485 Series.
Match cards of the same type to double their values with Chemistry, collect cards of the same station for a station score bonus, and upgrade your cards to build the ultimate deck. New cards are obtained through an in-game gacha — there are no paid purchases.
Struggling with the controls? A clever deck can still carry you to victory. A master driver with a weak deck will find high scores out of reach. Driving skill and deck strategy: two ways to play, one deep experience.
■ Runs light
This is the Steam version of a title developed and optimized for handheld consoles, so it runs remarkably light. No gaming PC required — enjoy the driver's seat on an everyday laptop.
■ Videos and streaming welcome!
Feel free to upload gameplay videos or livestream this game — no prior permission needed. Show everyone your finest driving!
