This is my favourite game. I play it on every device I own, and play the Daily Challenge every day—sometimes multiple times a day. In addition, I average one to three games a day over the last few years. It is an EXCELLENT puzzle game, and I am still TERRIBLE at it. Nevertheless, a cumulative 300 hours later, I persist and thoroughly enjoy myself. DPC could only improve the formula by expanding it to a more robust, entire transit system management game.

About This Game
In Mini Metro, you take on the task of designing the subway layout for a rapidly expanding city. Your city starts with three stations. Draw routes between these stations to connect them with subway lines. Commuters travel along your lines to get around the city as fast as they can. Each station can only hold a handful of waiting commuters so your subway network will need to be well-designed to avoid delays.
The city is growing. More stations are opening, and commuters are appearing faster. The demands on your network are ever-increasing. You'll be constantly redesigning your lines to maximise efficiency. The new assets you earn every week will help immensely — as long as they're used wisely.
Eventually your network will fail. Stations will open too quickly. Commuters will crowd the platforms. How long the city keeps moving is up to you.
Key Features
- Compelling, constructive, hectic, relaxed gameplay. If that makes sense. It doesn't though, aye? You just gotta play it.
- Three game modes: Normal for quick scored games, Endless for stress-free sandbox play, and Extreme for the ultimate challenge.
- Build your metro exactly how you want to with the all-new Creative mode.
- Over two dozen real-world cities! Design subways for London, Paris, New York City, Osaka, Saint Petersburg, São Paulo, Istanbul, Auckland and many more! Each has a unique colour theme, set of obstacles, and pace.
- Random city growth, so each game plays out differently. A strategy that proved successful last game may not help you in the next.
- Each game's map is a work of art, built by you in the classic abstract subway style of Harry Beck. If you think it's a keeper, save it, tweet it, show it off, or make it your desktop background!
- Responsive soundtrack created by your metro system, engineered by Disasterpeace.
- Colorblind and night modes.
- Trains! Did we mention them yet?
- Vast library of player-created maps for you to explore in Steam Workshop!
"Mini Metro’s clean, stylish interface encourages me over and over again to make the trains run on time, and there’s a deeper amount of strategy to growing a sprawling metro system than meets the eye. I wasn’t just hypnotized by the rhythmic movement of trains from station to station, I was completely absorbed in making them perfect." - IGN

User Reviews
I have owned this game for a long time. I always seem to come back to it as a relaxing break time game. I find the graphics elegant, the sounds and music delicate. The small thrill of balancing stations is on a beautiful backdrop of silhouette real world maps. It's not an addictive time thief with bells and whistles, but a good home brewed cup of tea. It is here to enjoy the process of consuming, not racing to the end.
Mini Metro scratches a certain type of creative itch for building of railroad simulators but just the part of the simulator that's about station placement and traffic growth the absolute bare bones basics you'd need for a much more complex detailed railroad train subway metro simulator this game just takes this one singular face of it the network design and how it grows and just beautifully perfects that one aspect of it - just the right mix of relaxing and engaging - extremely well designed minimalist - extremely affordable game runs at 60FPS looks beautiful even on absolute potato hardware
Great puzzle game; really fun; lots of interesting challenges
I love how simple is this game, its super chill, but ramps up in difficulty rather quickly. It's not annoying hard when you just wanna complete atchigments, but challenging when going for high scores (I usualy aim for 2500/3000 cuz its overwhelming for me to go higher and I just give up XD). Only downside of this game is that it gets repetive, wheat i mena is you dont get any new upgrades to unlock only maps and highscores (at least so far i havent seen any and I have 15hrs playtime). And to give some examples: maybe game could give you every 5 weeks or so evolution of upgrade. For example faster trains, or bigger stations, maybe you could chose to upgrade 1 line so trains move faster there. I can recomend this game, its cheep gives you fun expierience for few hrs, and many maps to beat your highscores on!
this game is huge for the autistic community
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The sound design in this is so satisfying, fits the clean visuals
Fun and nicely frustrating!
Simple and complicated all at once. Massive value of hours of fun for the cost of this game.
