Run Japanese Trains! Dear Train Dispatchers, let's keep on departing regular and limited express trains to transport passengers. "Tokyo Train! 4" can be enjoyed by anyone, whether you love trains or games. No specialized knowledge is required. We have prepared more than 50 routes throughout Japan! There are also new routes. (You can enjoy this game even if you have not played the previous games "Tokyo Train! 1/2/3".) - For those who will become railway commanders As a train commander, you can transport your customers by sending out various trains, such as local trains and express trains. In this game, the theme is the evening rush hour in Japan. Transport your customers from terminal stations to stations in commuter towns. We have also made it possible to enjoy separate routes for Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, so you can play from the route of your choice. - Game goal Transport your customers, collect fares, and aim for the highest operating profits! Profit calculation formula ① Variable fare ― ② Ride time × ③ Number of passengers ― ④ Departure cost = ⑤ Operating profit ① Variable fare: When the train transports passengers to the station where they will disembark, you will receive a fare. The fare will decrease over time. Also, the farther to the right the station is, the higher the fare. ② Ride time: The ride time is displayed above the moving train. The ride time is deducted from the fare when the train transports passengers to the station where they will disembark. If you can transport passengers quickly, you can reduce the ride time. ③ Number of passengers Each station shows how many passengers are on the destination. ④ Departure cost: When the train departs, the departure cost is deducted. The departure cost is displayed under the departure button. ⑤ Operating profit: This is the goal of the game. Aim for great results! Many express trains and Shinkansen trains appear in this game as well. In addition to the fare, these trains also charge "express charges" from customers. In order to pursue profits, it is very important to know how to operate express trains. ・How to operate The operation is very simple. Just depart the train at the best timing. You can operate up to 5 types of trains. ・Adjusting difficulty Even if the route becomes complicated, the operation itself is easy until the end. By adjusting the difficulty at the information center, you can change the target number to clear the route. ・Plenty of volume We have more than 50 railway routes available! ・New features of this game You can now see the results of your operations on the timetable. In addition to pursuing profits from operations, you can now enjoy looking at the wonderful timetable. ・Changes from the previous game First of all, there is no need to consider the number of cars, and it is set that many passengers are already on at the terminal station. Also, in this game, the fare charged from customers varies from station to station, and the more to the right the station, the more. In this game, the fare is collected the moment the customer gets off the train. The departure fee is set in detail and fixed for each line. The concept of transfers has also been redesigned. Until now, transfers were made by clicking the downward arrow on the route map, but in this game, transfers are made when a train waiting to pass at a siding station connects with an express train, allowing you to shorten the ride time of the train waiting to pass. In the previous game, transfers were from local trains to express trains, but in this game, transfers are from express trains to local trains. - Capacity is about 130MB The burden on storage is small. There is no heavy processing, so it is suitable for relatively old models. Each game takes less than 3 minutes, so you can enjoy it casually. - No ads, no in-app purchases There are no in-app purchases. There are no ads. Children can also enjoy it with peace of mind.

Your Dungeon, Built by You [CreateDun] Build walls, reshape paths, and hold the line with your allies. This isn’t just about “placing” towers—set up walls directly on the map and redesign enemy routes in real time! Where will the enemies flow? Which choke point will you focus your fire on? Who will act as bait? The battle is decided before the first wave even starts. Survive each fight to earn Relics and Marks that make your allies stronger. With fresh choices every run, enjoy roguelite progression as you complete your build. [Buildable Tower Defense] Change routes by placing walls and control the enemy’s flow as you like. Funnel them into narrow corridors for a wipe, or create detours to buy time—every battle depends on your strategy. [Relic Combinations] With different relic combinations each run, gain powerful traits and strengthen your allies even further. [Roguelite Progression] Use resources earned in combat to upgrade Orbs and hero allies, so next time you can venture deeper with more relics and stronger companions. [Everything Depends on Your Brain] No matter how strong your relics and allies are, if you can’t use enemy paths strategically, your expedition will end in failure.
