Locomancer Reviews

Looks good , have played with the provided sets but cant figure out how to make the trains go or how to save. Probably in the demo. But too tited to look now.

I've tried playing this in both demo and full mode. I'm an Oculus user btw, so maybe that makes a difference. I can't get the controls to work reliably, really just not at all. The first thing I noticed is that once you get a new table it doesn't drop to the floor and cannot be adjusted. The only option I found was "clear the room". It looked like people were doing well with it on YouTube so I took a chance and got the full version. At that point I started having problems with my touch controllers being intermittent then freezing completely. I can't recommend this game for Oculus users.

I can't get this game working with my Vive setup which has no issues in other games, tried again to see if the game is working any better but both my controllers were behaving like I was having a seizure, I couldn't get the toolbox off my hand and the best I managed was to place a table at 45 degrees before my character flew through the roof and couldn't return.

I really enjoyed this Sim. Something about creating your own track layout and riding a train on it with the scaling feature is pretty cool. I recommend at least looking at the demo to see what its like.

if you like trains. then you will LOVE this game. it has so many trains and items to customize your track. you can even RIDE your own train. and the big trains. this game is called (Locomancer) i forgot how much money it was but. again. if you like trains. you will get ADDICTED to this game.. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

One day I said to myself, "I wonder if there's a VR model train game?" Did a quick Google search and came across this awesome treasure, and it's everything you expect in a VR model train game. There are still a couple of bugs and some room for improvement, but this game is at a great place right now and can only get better. While there is not a fleshed out tutorial at this time, once you read the quick start guide in the forums, the controls are pretty intuitive. There is a solid foundation in the game physics, though I believe it could use some minor tweaking. The dev seems pretty active in continually pushing out improvements and bug fixes. In my first single day of owning the full version, I've already sunk around 5 hours into this game, and I won't be slowing down any time soon.

This game is great! I enjoy building a model train set and being able to change the scale that I'm building in as well as riding and controlling the trains!

Really awesome concept. This is the only train simulator that appreciates crashes with live interactions and physics. Really love what you've done so far.

First things first, the Guy/Girl developing this is amazing. Incredibly active and responsive to the communities feedback. This is my most played VR title. If you are into trains, or explosions, buy this game.

My son suckered me into buying this. I Sent him home to bed early and played 2.6 hours on my first try. If you liked trains as a child and loved the idea of having a very large track layout in a room, then this is for you. At first, the control scheme is a pain, the tutorial needs real help, and I didn't look for a tutorial either or notes on how to use this simluator. As far as it goes, the trigger is important on the controls: Holding Trigger grabs objects and if you grabbed a table and while the control illuminates red, hit the trackpad once to unlock and move then press tracks again while holding trigger and table to snap tables in place and on the floor. (its a pain at first but feels very natural after getting the controller scheme figured out.) Holding Trigger to an object and while gripping the controller at the same time deletes objects including table (it turns red and brightens to max and deletes). Holding trigger forms finger to press buttons on virtual controls and virtual drawer. gripp one controller in air to move height or direction by moving your arm. grip 2 controllers at the same time and swing your arms around side to side to rotate room. lots of wierd combination but once you figure out what these do during gameplay, you then realise it is one overlooked piece of simulation that needs your attention. After figuring out controller scheme, it feels very natural. Another trick. Holding a piece of pavement and over a table with trigger hold, while holding trigger, I hit the track pad and sprinkle the pavement on the table like parmesan cheese on spaghetti. So cool. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to divert my son's attention so I can add more hours into this simulator. I ended up really liking it.
