Construction Simulator 2015

Following the tremendous success of Construction Simulator 2014 on iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ tablets and smartphones (more than 2 million sold games, continuously in the top charts of the app stores), German games publisher astragon Software and developer weltenbauer. announced late last year the release of Construction Simulator 2015 for PC and MAC OS on Steam®!

Just as in the mobile version, in Construction Simulator 2015 the player assumes the role of a builder who sets out to expand a newly inherited construction company and vehicle fleet. The player fulfills construction and supply contracts and works to the top from small-time contractor to the largest construction tycoon in town! In possession of a small flatbed truck with trailer, a skip lorry, and a small excavator, the young entrepreneur first takes on smaller jobs and delivery missions in a little village and its surroundings. The player then invests money in additional machines and vehicles to expand the influence of the company to the big city and its varied neighborhoods.

The money the player earns by successfully mastering the initial missions can be used to expand the growing business’ fleet: wheel loaders, big excavators, halfpipe trucks, concrete mixers, concrete pumps, flatbed trucks with cranes, forklifts, low loaders, rollers, and giant machines like a LIEBHERR 81k fast-erecting crane or a LTM 1060-3.1 mobile crane. The vehicle fleet includes 15 construction machines and vehicles painstakingly modeled to reflect their real life counterparts by internationally-known manufacturers such as LIEBHERR, MAN, and STILL. The machines support an almost endless variety of building tasks in a large, accessible environment.

As players acquire more vehicles, they can win increasingly complex contracts and demanding undertakings, such as the construction of the municipal swimming pool, a soccer stadium, or a new school building.

In contrast to previous mobile versions, players in the new version can explore a much larger game world with many new features that will set the heart of every construction and simulation fan racing! An extensive cooperative multiplayer mode allows players of Construction Simulator 2015 to play with up to four other players, thus allowing teamwork for challenging buildings tasks. Detailed and fully animated cockpit interior views of the vehicles, machines, and their operational areas guarantee realistic building fun. Also, the newly integrated economic system forces players to look beyond the company’s machines and to manage finances and labor costs.

Thanks to more than 150 building sites with 250 varied subtasks, players will have no problem staying busy in the game’s lively, freely accessible world – including smart AI traffic. And for all those who cannot get enough of Construction Simulator 2015, modding tools can be added to the game. The vehicle editor enables creative players to add new vehicles and machines, while the mission editor allows them to design and integrate their own building missions, which can of course be freely shared with other members of the game’s community.

I checked this out and think that it is a fun game! It is pretty detailed and I was impressed with the variety of things you can do.

Construction Simulator 2015 for PC and MAC OS is available worldwide via Steam® for $29.99.
