Truck Masters: World Simulator

"You’ve been grinding for someone else’s dream… saving every dime”. That line caught my attention for the first game open and I was ready to dive in.

Truck Masters: World Simulator combines driving mechanics, simulation and strategy. You buy trucks, complete orders and build you own trucking empire. Over the time, you open new levels and areas on the map that gives you new locations and more expensive and challenging missions. There are standard delivery jobs, custom deliveries between cities you want and special events you can participate to get additional rewards. Like in real life you always should be wise about resting, refuelling and cleaning, especially during the long road missions. On my very first job in this game, I got a fine for running a red light, so please follow the traffic rules!

While driving the truck, you can choose different camera angles. My favourite is the driver’s cabin view with mirrors and full dashboard. You can even roll down the windows to enjoy the breeze while driving. Also, I like that this game don't try to push too much realism so it's comfortable to play on mobile. Some examples: the trailer doesn’t need to be attached or detached manually; you always drive in auto-gear mode; some poles and signs can be driven through; there's no music or radio while driving. These all are game simplifications that make it more player-friendly and casual without affecting the core mechanics.

I wouldn't say the graphics are super detailed or realistic – it's just fine and quite pleasant. But the trucks are well-designed and detailed. You can see even dirt on it. There are around 8 trucks to choose including legendary Volvo SNL and Peterbilt 359. The map includes all the US with it's main cities. As the developer says, you can drive in different landscapes such as icy tundras, urban sprawls and to mountain passes.

The game is free to play and offers a Pro version that helps with faster progression, new levels, missions, and gives ad-free experience. Ads don’t interrupt gameplay, so you can comfortable play and chill. The game also includes in-app purchases to get more in-game money or trucks.

Overall, I enjoyed this simulator. It is suitable for those who enjoy medium level of difficulty gameplay and someone who wants to drive across the states and build their own trucking empire.
