  28/07/2021 update: 4 patch update in a month! The development team was awesome! Almost everything mentioned below were fixed and the only problem now is the unfinished translate. Keep it up! ------------------------- Would not recommend to buy this game at the Early Access stage because the game is not finished (if you don't speak Korean). Maybe wait for the complete game, here are the reasons: 1. Almost impossible to play this game if you can't read Korean. Because there are too many unfinished translate in the game! No matter in Japanese and English settings. - Can't change the graphic settings because they still in Korean. - I guessed and figured it out how to drive the train but the tutorial videos are very hard to understand as they are all Korean voice over. I wished there are English/Japanese subtitle options. - The control panel (the one in the view 2) were still in Korean. Got interrupt by the ATS many times because I don't understand the ATS warning messages. 2. Mouse view (in view 3) : why reserve? Should have add an option for player to choose in the settings. 3. Camera angle in the view 3: too narrow 3. No custom key options in the setting 4. Cab light option? 5. No ATS indicator? I have to guess the speed limit by listening the ATS warning bell. The indicator on the speedometer does not lights up. 6. No quick restart in the pause menu 7. Pressing ESC button on the pause menu doesn't quit 8. Sound didn't stop in the pause menu 9. There is no tutorial level at the beginning to help player familiar with the game control. 10. We need more camera views in the future? Here is all problems I've founded so far after playing the game for half an hour. Honestly most of them are not a big problem, expect for the unfinished translate and No.5 missing ATS indicator. They made the game almost impossible to play. Please fix them. I still give this a positive review because I see its potential. I used to play this game years ago on the mobile and it was awesome. Hoping the developer can fix all problems in the completed game. 25/06/2021

  Simply fantastic metro sim - best one out there +3 EMU's (trains) presently +Decent sounds +Decent physics +Visual fidelity/lighting looks outstanding +Detailed trackage/signals/stations/signage/announcements +Train cabs well modeled +Busy a.i. trains not only consisting of other metro but high speed trains and regional services +no frills or gimmicks, just great gameplay ~Only 1 line currently (though understandable as it's early access) ~Could use some more services ~No KoRail licensing ~Lack of decent tutorials ~Lack of other languages being implemented in certain aspects -No a.i. passengers on trains and platforms, would add a more lifelike feel overall were there -Train wheels are static There's a strong foundation here for a great simulator, hopefully the developers continue forward 8/10 (at present time) --------------------- A brief look and semi-tutorial... https://youtu.be/dD1MOofRcFo

  Not too much content, depth and still much too improve, but I enjoy it a lot so far. What this game needs ASAP are english subtitles for all the audio signals and instructions on what I have to do. The many Korean warnings can get a bit confusing at the start and I've been through some emergency braking without knowing why exactly. Partly korean menus and a weird default control layout are also problematic. On my German keyboard many inputs are not displayed properly in the settings, so I will have to remember what I assigned it to. The written only tutorials in the game are not exactly amazing, both in length and their English. Apart from that, it's a solid simulation. Visuals are nice. The sound fits perfectly and you really get into a groove after playing a bit. It has some arcade feeling to it, but only slightly so. I hope they will add more of Line 1, as currently there is only a section of it in the game. A playable tutorial how to handle the dead zones (switching from AC to DC and vice versa) as well as the other possible EB situations should be included too.

  This game is still heavily for the Korean market. I still don't understand speed limits or when to change AC to DC. RED words flash but as they are in Korean, god only knows what and why they are flashing. I have no idea of future plans for this game. Will this be more English friendly? Will there ever be people on platforms? Will it rain or snow? I did enjoy it but controller support would be great as WOS does. Using keyboard really makes my hands/arms ache after a while. I would just like to know future plans before I commit to buy. Is this as far as the development will go? A bit surprised the switch board has been priority when it has little to do with the driving experience, only setting up the train. Surely these are the small things when all main improvements have been implemented. This is what makes me think development is slowing or stopping which is the only reason I got a refund.

  You like to play Train Sim World 2? You will love this. It is better in almost any aspect. The most important one the world feels so much more alive even with no passangers at the time of writing this. But there are so much trains. The world truly feels open and not like just a tunnel with things build arround you. And the grafic is just good.

  In depth Simulator. you definitely need a good PC for this. takes not long to download and loading takes literally no time. Game is easy and uses the same controls as OpenBVE which i love. Super fun game.

  If you are a train and or public transport fan: This is great! Even in it's current state! It's hilarious how much detail is put on the map - the ai traffic, even the sky is dynamic, so you can ride past clouds. These graphics looks hilariously fantastic, while requiring basic hardware by today's standards. Because of that this already became much more entertaining than say Train Sim World (2), where you need greater hardware for worse results, not to mention the missing polishment and overpriced content. For just under 17 Euros this here is definitely worth it. Congratulations and much of luck in further development, Jeminie! Thank you and looking forward to further updates and projects! Maybe by creating a team or giving the community the ability to mod the game in the future we may see a proper regional/city train sim world with scenarios from around the world.

  I don't need to play too many hours to tell this is a great game with great potential. You can take control of a few EMUs in use in the Seoul Metro. There are a different trains available and different liveries. The detail is impressive outside and in the cab. The vehicles look, sound and run well, and there are many interactive switches in the cab. The route detail is also really good. There are overground and underground sections. You'll have to switch between AC and DC, which adds up to the challenge. Signalling works as intended and the ATS safety system is in use. Other aesthetic and graphical aspects are great too: buildings, level crossings, lighting, AI and stationary trains... There is a little in-game manual that explains things such as signalling, controls, starting the train, etc. The English translations seem to be good (I am yet to find any mistake). I can't wait for more content! To sum up, it's a really good train simulator, especially for its price. Highly recommended to those who like realism and trains, especially frequent-stopping commuters.
