'TransRoad: USA' Details Economic Events And Rivals - Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 6, 2017 @ 8:43 a.m. PDT

TransRoad: USA is a management simulation that grants players the opportunity to discover the sophisticated logistics that are indispensable when it comes to keeping the US economy up and running.

After conquering the Seven Seas twice in TransOcean: The Shipping Company and TransOcean 2: Rivals, the newest game by German developer team Deck13 Hamburg will take you to mainland USA. Or more precisely to a city of your choice from where you will manage your very own transport company.

Players can then take the fate of a young transport company into their own hands and – by applying all their management skills and savvy planning - turn it into the biggest hauler of the whole USA!

In the course of the game you will send countless trucks and their valuable freight along the legendary US highways, which connect not only federal states and time zones but also important industry sectors and their suppliers. With TransRoad: USA you will gain entrance into the challenging world of cross-country haulage and by cleverly employing your management skills seize the opportunity to lead your business to the very top!

What would the everyday challenges of a hauler be without the highs and lows of a fast moving economic system? A boom in the automotive industry gives the demand for vehicle transports a significant boost? A crisis in the metal trade makes dump trailers for bulk materials like ore or coal suddenly become more or less redundant? A clever logistics specialist in TransRoad: USA will always be prepared to take the right precautions and therefore be able to react swiftly and efficiently to any market changes that may occur by diversifying his truck fleet. Of course he himself also holds some sway over how the transport prices for goods will develop during the game - the rules of supply and demand apply here as well.

Next to economic uncertainties competing businesses are what will keep the owner of any truck company constantly on his toes. In TransRoad: USA up to five AI controlled rivals are waiting to compete with the player for the spot of the most successful US hauler. If, and if yes, how many competitors the player wants to challenge, will be completely up to him in both the quest and sandbox mode. He will also be able to freely choose the size of these competitors. Is the virtual hauler successful in his race to become the nation’s biggest logistics company, he will also be given the chance to propose an unbeatable takeover bid to his rivals and expand his own company by the clients, drivers and truck fleet of the unlucky competitor.

TransRoad USA: will become globally available for PC and Mac, both in retail and as a digital download, on November 9, 2017 for 24.99 Euro / 24.99 USD (RSP).
