What is Mashinky?
Mashinky is an early-access transport strategy game played on procedurally generated maps. You run a transport company, laying rail lines in an isometric grid view, buying vehicles, and managing passenger and cargo routes between towns and industries. You can switch to a 3D view to watch your network operate.
For you if...
- +you enjoy planning rail junctions and efficient routes
- +you like open-ended transport management across changing eras
- +you want to build a transport network with friends
Not for you if...
- −you want a guided campaign rather than sandbox construction
- −you prefer simpler finances to balancing multiple resource tokens
What players say
85% of 2,822 reviews are positive
Players praise the resource-token economy and find the building tools easy to use. They report crashes and performance problems, while some say the grid makes laying parallel tracks around towns frustrating.
