Trainatic, developed and published by Ryan Forrester, is a refreshing take on the incremental genre, blending the satisfying mechanics of a clicker game with the charm and chaos of a train-building simulator.
Graphics

The upgrade tree is fairly good, I like the crafting and automation, you can add and mix railcars and the simple graphics style is nice touch.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Train storage and Train speed near the end seems to be the only thing that matters once you get some semi decent weapons running.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story is fun and sometimes funny (looking at you specific world that i wont name).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
it's a fun game with nice sound effects, good progression, and a unique concept. i really liked planning my train layout to maximize the benefits from the support cars and trying out the new weapons you unlock. my only complaint is i wish that it was longer so i could keep playing.
