Yeah, we know – the whole ‘Simulator‘ thing is getting out of hand. A genre which has already run the fine line between real-world jobbing and utter madness, we thought the gaming take on weirdness had already reached saturation point. We never gambled on there being room for Road Maintenance Simulator.
Available today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S (and this is a Smart Delivery and Optimised for next-gen title, so you’re sure to get the finest version for your console), Road Maintenance Simulator is the latest to fill out the simulator genre, tasking players with getting on with real-life work in the virtual lands.
It’s a game that we’re not sure is needed, but now it is here, it’s one we cannot forget about. Coming from the Aerosoft team (prolific in the sim scene), you’ll be given the opportunity to fly away to the finest German lands, working for a street maintenance service as you land. From there, getting to grips with no less than thirty vehicles will see you completing multiple tasks and objectives, all based around that of road construction and maintenance. How exciting.
A full road network is in place for you to navigate along, with bulldozers, road-marking trucks, dumpers and more all helping you traverse the world. It’s with these in which you’ll be tasked with repairing the roads, placing traffic signs and markings, dropping in safety barriers and the like, all in hope that you can steer the unsuspecting German public down the safest of routes.
Created in Unreal Engine, the development team behind this are selling Road Maintenance Simulator on the back of some seriously realistic graphics. We’re not too sure that’s coming across in the screenshots we’re seeing on the Xbox Store (grab your download of Road Maintenance Simulator on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S from there for £24.99), but will be sure to detail what is required in an upcoming review.
The key game features sit as…
- 30 extensive missions on the highway and main roads
- Freely drivable road network with freeway, main and country roads
- Walkable depot with fleet of vehicles and material warehouse
- More than 8 different road maintenance vehicles, such as bulldozer, all-purpose vehicle, road marking vehicle and dump truck
