Gameplay[]

The game simulates the Flixbus.

Fernbus Simulator is set in Federal Republic of Germany, offering a route network of approximately 20,000 kilometres and 40 German cities that is built in a scale of 1:10.[1] The game features quite the same gameplay of the similar-genre video game Euro Truck Simulator 2, which includes construction sites, traffic congestion, police patrols and traffic collision, with dynamic weather and day-night cycle are available in the game.[2] The game also provides the licensed MAN Lion's Coach of Flixbus, allowing players to drive on highly detailed German motorways.[3]

Development and release[]

Fernbus Simulator is developed by a German-based game studio TML-Studios, the developers of the City Bus Simulator series and the World of Subways franchise.[3] It is powered by Unreal Engine 4 of Epic Games.[4] The game was released on 25 August 2016 for Microsoft Windows.[5]

Reception[]

The game is well-sold on the digital distribution platform Steam, but often comes in criticism and gets a mixed rating.[6] The game is often used to compare with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, and gets praised on the design of the game in terms of atmosphere, motorways, residential areas and detailed bus cockpit.[7] However, bugs, missing textures, insufficient to reality and a lack of long-term motivation makes the game widely criticised.[8]
