Gameplay

Our task in RollerCoaster Tycoon World for PC is to build the best of theme parks, offering various attractions and, obviously, rollercoasters. The developers placed a number of different tools at our disposal, thanks to which we can create a true entertainment empire. Within the park’s area, we can do pretty much anything: starting from shaping the terrain, through setting rollercoaster tracks, to placing any other element. One of the most important features is the new fully 3D editor that allows us to freely manipulate rails. Moreover, there are numerous kinds and styles of tracks to choose from.

Of course, it is not everything, for a theme park has to offer other attractions that encourage people to visit. First and foremost, we can create thematic areas that attract various kinds of clients. It is also a good practice to provide a variety of stores and vending machines available on the spot, so that visitors’ cash keeps flowing into our wallet. All of this has to be complemented by medical, cleaning and other necessary services. However, while developing the theme park, one must pay attention to finances, otherwise excessive investments might drive us into bankruptcy.

Extensive maps and environments in which we build our theme parks are also noteworthy features. Furthermore, thanks to the UGC Tools, we can modify the available sceneries. We can also take a ride in any rollercoaster we built.

Game modes

RollerCoaster Tycoon World on PC allows to play in Sandbox mode in which we can freely shape the terrain and build the theme park of our dreams. The developers also provided special scenarios as well as a dedicated campaign.

The game, despite the presence of single player modes, puts a great emphasis on multiplayer, including player cooperation and social interaction. It is possible to visit our friends’ theme parks and compare our statistics with theirs. We can also seamlessly share everything we managed to create.

Technicalities

RollerCoaster Tycoon World is the most technically advanced installment of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. The game boasts a realistic physics engine which forces us to carefully design our rollercoasters, because misaligned tracks could be the cause of a serious accident. What's more, we have full control over the camera, which now can be set at any angle.
