About

Train Deploy ~Tokyo~

Features
Read full description

A management simulation set in the greater metropolitan area in Tokyo, spanning 43 years from 1993 to 2035, in which you manage rolling stock assignments. Your goal is to appropriately reassign, retire, and procure aging legacy vehicles while meeting each line's required service count and technical specifications — all while maintaining your overall rating. Your mission: optimize rolling stock deployment across the entire metropolitan network and keep your railway lines running for 43 years. === Features === · Take the helm of 43 years of rolling stock history across 13 lines, set in Greater Tokyo. · The fleet starts with the 103 series, then moves through the 209, E217, E231, E233, and E235 series. New trains unlock in step with their real-world debut years, and your options evolve as the decades pass. · Chain transfers are the heart of your strategy. Send a new train to a flagship line, and the train it displaces has to go somewhere. Which line next—and where does the surplus from that go? The chain of transfers shapes your network. · Only 8 builds per quarter. When replacements come due on several lines at once, which gets priority? Competing for that limited quota will test you every turn. · Refurbish, or replace? Nurse an aging train along with a life-extension overhaul, or invest in the latest model? Save now, or plan for the future? · Leave aging trains in service and breakdowns will follow—though a breakdown can also trigger supplementary funding. Weighing risk against reward is part of the job. · Vehicle mandates like TIMS and TASC come into play. Read the timetable revisions up to three years ahead on the Forecast tab, and act before it's too late. · Deliver results and you'll be promoted—to Section Chief, Transport Director, and Executive Director. Each promotion expands your budget and lets you take on bigger plans. · And of course, no intrusive in-game ads. No in-app purchases either. Every train, every line, and every feature is available from the start, and the game plays smoothly offline. This game is a work of fiction.
